About Dianna Heun

Dianna Heun is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) with a Certification in Perinatal Mental Health (PMH-C). She has worked in schools, community mental health, and office settings, and her background in child development and attachment shapes how she supports new parents building a bond with their baby. She believes therapy is a place to be met without judgment, not a place to be fixed.

Dianna gave birth and moved through the postpartum period at the height of the pandemic, and that experience shapes how closely she listens now. She works with mothers through postpartum depression and anxiety, postpartum rage and irritability, intrusive thoughts, birth trauma, and panic, alongside the identity shift of matrescence and the mental load and burnout that so often go unnamed.

Her approach is strengths-based and trauma-informed. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), attachment-based work, Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) for clients ready to process traumatic experiences. She also supports cycle breaking and reparenting, for mothers who want to raise their children differently than they were raised. Dianna offers a space where none of it has to be carried alone.

The personal

What’s a small joy that never fails to make you smile? Hearing my daughter’s laugh or getting to snuggle with her

What’s your go-to comfort show, podcast, or book? You can find me getting lost Netflix reality shows or a murder mystery show

What’s one thing most people don’t know about you? I take ice skating lessons weekly. I’m not very good but it brings me joy.

Coffee order, tea ritual, or favorite snack? Chai tea with oat milk is my go to.

If you had a whole afternoon to yourself, how would you spend it? Getting brunch with a friend, sitting out in my balcony enjoying the views and catching up on shows uninterrupted.
