Diane Calder

Diane Calder’s practice is built on a simple conviction: that every person deserves a place where they can speak freely and be heard without judgment. Working from her office in Oregon City, she offers individual counseling, coaching, and consultation to men, women, and older adults navigating some of life’s most demanding passages — from anxiety and depression to the long aftermath of trauma and abuse. Her training in clinical mental health, grounded in her degree from George Fox University, equips her to provide DSM-V diagnosis and treatment alongside the kind of steady, accountable support that helps people make real changes in how they live.

Diane works with people who carry a range of difficulties: childhood trauma, mood and depressive disorders, adjustment and impulse-control challenges, the particular weight of domestic or emotional abuse, and the stress that chronic illness can bring to daily life. She also supports clients through career transitions and workplace burnout — including those who find that the habit of staying perpetually reachable has made it harder to disengage, rest, and think clearly about what they actually want. Online sessions are available.

For those who find it hard to ask for help — and especially for Christians who may feel that struggle acutely — Diane’s approach offers something straightforward: a private, non-judgmental conversation that stays focused entirely on the person in the room.
