Diane Spear

Burdening friends with your troubles drains your friends and leaves your problems intact, because friends aren't qualified to deal with your underlying issues. Through a warm and caring connection, I'll guide you as we explore issues that interfere with satisfaction in love, work, and play. So, if you're dealing with a difficult boss or the challenges of parenting, trying to start a relationship or moving on after a breakup, mourning a loss or experiencing a creative block, call me for reality-based therapy to help you find the joy in everyday life.

I provide individual, couples, and group therapy for adults at all stages of life with a wide range of emotional and life problems. My interactive, reality-based psychodynamic approach emphasizes forming a trusting relationship to uncover and understand the positive and negative factors from your past that shape your present.

I specialize in relationship issues, depression, anxiety, and parenting concerns. My style incorporates active and compassionate listening, collaborative exploration, and a ready sense of humor. We'll work together to make your life more satisfying. Union Square location.
