🌿 ABOUT DEANNE DIETZ

- a mission born from experience

Trauma Specialist • EMDR Practitioner • Psycho-Spiritual Guide

For over two decades, I’ve walked alongside people as they heal old wounds, release survival patterns, and reconnect with their true selves. My work blends deep clinical training with a grounded, intuitive, and soul-centered approach, helping clients create transformation that is emotional, somatic, relational, and spiritual.

I understand the healing journey from the inside out. I spent many of my own early years in traditional therapy, seeking answers and relief. Over time, I discovered that healing lives not only in the mind, but also in the body, the nervous system, and the deeper intelligence of the spirit. That discovery shaped the integrative work I offer today—trauma-informed, ethically grounded, clinically supported, and guided by the wisdom that lives within each person.

My goal is to help you reconnect with the clarity, confidence, and wholeness that may have been buried under years of coping or painful experiences. Together, we untangle the old imprints, update the nervous system, and create space for your authentic self and inner guidance to lead.

🌟 Professional Training & Approach

I integrate a wide range of trauma-healing, mind-body, and psycho-spiritual modalities, including:

  • EMDR (Level 2) and multiple advanced EMDR specialties

  • Brainspotting

  • Somatic Experiencing & Somatic Resourcing

  • NeuroAffective & Attachment Repair

  • IADC – Induced After Death Communication

  • Early Childhood Clearing (developmental trauma)

  • Interpersonal Skills & Emotional Regulation Training

  • Gottman Method Educator Training

  • Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)

  • Vibrational Health Institute — 1-year program

  • Restorative Touch — 9-month training

  • Integral Psychotherapy — 1-year practicum

  • Bodywork & Psychotherapy integration

  • Psycho-Spiritual Healing Modalities

  • Gestalt & Bioenergetics

  • Peak Performance Coaching

  • Brain Health Training

  • Transformational Coaching

This broad training allows me to tailor each session to what will be most effective for your specific nervous system, your story, your body, and your spiritual or intuitive needs. Clients describe the work as deep, clarifying, grounding, and life-changing—a blend of evidence-based healing and gentle spiritual alignment that helps them feel safe, supported, and empowered.

🔐 A Safe & Ethical Space 

Your safety and wellbeing come first. I maintain clear professional boundaries and practice within a defined scope to ensure the highest quality of care. I do not work with individuals whose primary concern is chemical dependency, nor with couples experiencing active domestic violence. If your needs fall outside my scope, I’ll help connect you to the right support.
Integrity and transparency guide every step of this work.

✨ My Philosophy

Healing isn’t about fixing what’s wrong with you—it's about releasing what isn't you. Beneath the old patterns is a whole, wise, intuitive self waiting to lead. With trauma-informed tools, nervous-system repair, and soul-aligned guidance, you can shift from surviving to living with clarity, confidence, and ease.
You already carry the blueprint for healing—my role is to help you access it.
