DIANE SPIVEY, LPC

My name is Diane Spivey.  I have lived in Weatherford for most of my life.  My family and I are happy to be rooted in this growing community.  

I am fascinated by the thoughts and interactions of the people in my life and in the world.  I believe that human connection and healthy relationships are very important to creating purpose in life.  My goal is to help people find their own value and manage emotions to foster a healthy self-image and happier relationships.  

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and I have a master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Tarleton State University.  Before going into private practice, I was a school counselor in Fort Worth where I learned and implemented trauma-based emotional interventions from Texas Christian University.  Prior to becoming a counselor, I was a teacher at the elementary level in Weatherford for many years.  I learned that developing positive relationships with students and their families creates success in the classroom.

I completed an internship at the Cleburne Women's Shelter where I worked with people from all backgrounds to work through domestic abuse and other traumas.  I also completed an internship with the Children's Advocacy Center of Parker County where I supported families and individuals dealing with various difficulties related to childhood abuse and trauma.

I enjoy working with people of all ages including kids, teens, and adults.
