Reduce Stress, Boost Productivity, and Strengthen Team Cohesion
I'm Diane Chrestman, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 15+ years of mindfulness experience — in the therapy room and the boardroom
​
A published contributor and seasoned speaker, I have brought mindfulness to organizations including United Way, Gwinnett County Schools, and corporate teams across the Atlanta metro area.
​
I founded Mindatory because I've seen firsthand how mindfulness transforms the workplace — making teams healthier, more collaborative, productive, and effective.
​
My sessions go beyond the surface. Rather than simply teaching relaxation techniques, I guide participants to examine their own mental processes — emotional reactivity, habituated thinking, and automatic patterns — and to honestly assess whether those patterns are serving them or holding them back.
​
My work is informed by Buddhist psychology, evidence-based clinical practice, and over a decade of writing and speaking on the science of the mind. My writing has been featured in Mad in America, reaching thousands of readers.
Has Spoken for: United Way | Gwinnett County Schools | Acuity Inc. | N2N Services Inc.
