About Dianna Heun

Hi, I'm Dianna! I am so excited to meet you and be able to walk alongside you as you share your story and support your growth in discovering your full potential! I have experience in schools, community mental health and office settings.

My biggest area of experience is supporting women and families in the peripartum period. This can impact the whole family while navigating the adjustments, challenges, and barriers that may arise on the journey to parenthood and thereafter. As I gave birth and navigated the postpartum period during the height of the pandemic, I feel my personal experiences allow me to grow in my therapeutic relationships as I gained a new connection and understanding for client experiences and impact to their well-being. I also come from educational background of child development and attachment, aiding in supporting new parents in bonding and connections with their new baby. I offer strength based, trauma informed and compassionate therapy. I can provide dedicated support to help my clients navigate emotional challenges to realize their worth and heal their inner child to break the cycles. Lastly, I am also trained in EMDR allowing me to provide opportunity for further processing of traumatic experiences client might have had impacting them to be the best parents they are capable of being.

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.
