Diane Sinclair Smith

In the peaceful environs of a barn or amidst the serene backdrop of nature, Diane Sinclair-Smith, LCMFT, offers a unique approach to healing that goes beyond traditional talk therapy. As a licensed clinical marriage and family therapist, Diane specializes in equine-assisted psychotherapy, a innovative method that harnesses the intuitive power of horses to facilitate personal growth and emotional healing.

Diane's expertise spans a wide range of mental health issues, with a particular focus on anxiety, depression, trauma recovery, and inner healing. She has a passion for helping individuals navigate complex relational issues, including pre-marital counseling, marital therapy, affair recovery, and divorce recovery. Her comprehensive approach allows her to address these concerns with sensitivity and depth, providing clients with the tools they need to overcome challenges and build stronger, healthier relationships.

At the heart of Diane's practice is her commitment to creating a natural healing space and fostering a sense of belonging for each client. She believes in the power of experiential therapy, which is exemplified in her equine-assisted psychotherapy sessions. This alternative therapeutic approach not only addresses mental health concerns but also tackles everyday life challenges by teaming up caring therapists with gentle, intuitive horses. The unique dynamic between client, therapist, and horse often reflects verbal and nonverbal strengths and incongruities, enhancing personal growth and development in ways that traditional therapy alone may not achieve.

Diane's therapeutic toolkit is diverse and evidence-based. She skillfully integrates solution-focused therapy (SFT) with other proven modalities such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). This eclectic approach allows her to tailor treatment plans to the specific needs and goals of each individual client, ensuring a personalized and effective therapeutic experience.

For those seeking support on their journey towards healing and personal growth, Diane Sinclair-Smith offers a compassionate, innovative, and holistic approach to therapy. Whether in her office or in the company of horses, she is dedicated to walking alongside her clients, providing empathy, encouragement, and evidence-based solutions to help them navigate life's challenges and emerge stronger.
