January 2027 Cohort
Hello, my name is Diana Cline(she/her).
I’m a Counselling Therapist Intern at Couch of HOPE and a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology student at Yorkville University. I have a multidisciplinary background, including a Bachelor of Fine Arts from NSCAD University; graduate studies in art therapy, spirituality, and psychotherapy; and a Certificate in Spiritually Informed Creative Arts from St. Stephen's College in Edmonton, AB.
I draw on my experience as a mother, artist, and student navigating midlife while balancing demanding schedules, childcare, professional and personal responsibilities, and shifts in identity and career. I spent 5 years at a non-profit art centre, supporting adults and children with developmental disabilities, where I connected with diverse populations from various backgrounds and abilities. My approach is grounded in respect-focused, client-centred therapy.
I firmly believe you are the expert in your own life and story. I aim to provide culturally responsive, trauma-informed, LGBTQ+-affirming, neuroinclusive care, with a deep commitment to creating a welcoming space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings free from judgment. Whether you’re navigating communication breakdowns, grief, a major life transition, anxiety, depression, burnout, suicidal ideation, or neurodiversity, I am here to support you.
Outside of work and school, I enjoy spending time with friends and family, exploring nature with my dog T. Rex, and practising yoga, mindfulness meditation, and expressive art therapies. I look forward to hearing more about you, your personal journey, and what brought you here.
