Diane Hughes

Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LCSW, Ph.D.
Last Updated 30+ days ago

My approach to psychotherapy is interpersonal grounded in family systems theory, object relations, attachment theory, and the relational school. Along with virtually all therapists, I use cognitive behavioral interventions when appropriate, but I also help clients explore the deeper meanings of their behaviors and relationship styles and the often unconscious beliefs upon which dysfunctional behavior may be based.

I have extensive experience in working with people who choose to live in alternative life styles including GLBTQ individuals, couples and families. I have experience working with people who choose polyamory as a lifestyle and I am familiar with and comfortable with people who are involved in BDSM and in the leather community.
