065 Diana Appell-Kassler: Life is a Puzzle - Families are a System

Living in 9 places in 11 years taught Diana how to adapt as a young woman. She had to figure things out. First an art therapist and then a school adjustment counselor, Diana realized she would need multiple degrees to further her career and provide her with the necessary skills to ultimately become a marriage and family therapist.

Quote: “Assess & adapt in each stage - adapting is key to thriving.”

“The family is a system, with lots of puzzle pieces to try to figure out in order to help people better their relationships and lives,” she says. She began a long-term private practice and while at The Family Center in Massachusetts became head of the couples program. After her first marriage ended, later in life she married Howard Kassler and found a deep love and companionship that lasted until he passed away in 2019. This is her story.
