DIANE HOVEY, PHD

Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist  

Certified Sex Addiction Therapist

Certified Biblio/Poetry Therapist


 

Dr. Diane Hovey works as a guide to help you gain the necessary insight to uncover your personal areas of darkness which block emotional healing and understanding. In her work as a marriage and family therapist, she assists individuals, families and couples in addressing life altering challenges such as grief, loss, guilt, anxiety, depression, marital problems and other life stresses which impede our abilities to navigate the uncertainties of life.  


Sometimes families fall apart, couples are faced with seemingly impossible challenges, or individuals become overwhelmed by anxiety or depression. At these times, we need help rebuilding healthy relationships with others and ourselves.  Whatever the need, Dr. Diane helps her clients find practical and down to earth ways to address their specific life challenge.  Client goals may include emotional healing, finding understanding, improved communication, clarity of vision, developing more loving relationships or achieving mindfulness in living. 


Dr. Hovey received her Doctor of Philosophy degree in Family Social Science from the University of Minnesota where she studied with leading experts in stress theory. Her research focused on those who live with overwhelming life challenges (disability and chronic illness in the family) and how the resulting stresses impact the meanings that drive behaviors.

Diane also develops and creates therapeutic resources to be used by therapists and individuals to improve their potential for healing and well-being.
