Hello, my name is Sonia Díaz, and I am a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist working with clients all over California via telehealth. It is my passion to support others as they seek to better their lives and bring about wellness in many different areas. My approach is holistic in nature and client-centered. In this way, we can incorporate an integrative and humanistic approach that respects, validates, and supports your individual goals.

Being neurodivergent can be difficult in this society, whether you are on the spectrum, have ADHD, or other traits. And feeling unseen, unaccepted, or stagnant can often be overwhelming. If you're grappling with emotional challenges, or find yourself stuck in life, know that you're not alone. Whether you’re wanting to better understand yourself, looking to improve your experiences with others, or wanting help with a new diagnosis, we can navigate these waters together. You've demonstrated resilience and introspection by seeking help, now let's create the path towards healing and transformation—together.

As a clinical psychologist, I help both individuals and couples create more connected and fulfilling lives through personalized, supportive psychotherapy. My clients are looking to make specific changes and want an interactive clinician to provide perspective, as well as tools and strategies for coping with painful emotions and life stressors. I assist clients with relationship concerns, break-ups, anxiety, OCD, physical health conditions, trauma, social anxiety, parenting, and major life, academic, and career transitions. I also provide performance and executive coaching services across Silicon Valley.

For over 24 years, I've collaborated with people to resolve their psychological trauma, phobias, anxiety & stress as well as maximize responses to their medical diagnoses, treatments & conditions. This clinical focus stems from both a personal medical challenge since age 12 and research on treating women with breast cancer and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Yet Kaiser research (1998) finding 70% of primary care visits are driven by mental, emotional and relational issues highlights how mind and body are interwoven for each of us. This interplay provides leverage for preventive medicine, for responding to illness and for maximizing peak performance.

In life, there are moments when it feels like we've lost control and need help finding stable ground. If you find yourself navigating through stressful life changes, I'm here for you. As a therapist, my approach centers around working together to create positive transformation in your life. I won't dictate what you should do, but rather, I will work with you to discover your inner wisdom. Whether you're dealing with depression, anxiety, relationship changes, or communication difficulties, I have the expertise to assist you on your journey.

I am a warm, compassionate psychologist who practices therapy with a "power with" rather than a "power over" approach. I have personal experience with many life events including single parenting, divorce, caring for elderly parents, and overcoming depression. I specialize in treating eating disorders, body image, identity issues, depression, trauma, anxiety, and cancer related distress. I have extensive experience working at the residential & outpatient levels for eating disorders, and provide supportive therapy for not only the client, but for the parent or significant other who supports them.

I strive to create a safe, thoughtful, and warm therapy environment focusing on building a trusting and collaborative therapeutic relationship. I trust that clients are experts on themselves and see myself as a guide supporting people toward achieving their goals. Using a social justice lens, I compassionately supports individuals to empower themselves and find a healthy path forward. My practice is social justice oriented, trauma informed, person centered and strength based. I tailor therapy approaches to fit the needs of clients' unique identities and life experiences.

IN-OFFICE & video sessions offered in Menlo Park... Have you found yourself at a crossroads in life? Perhaps you are experiencing strain in a relationship or grieving a significant loss. Is your quality of life less than satisfactory? Psychotherapy can help you work through difficult life issues, discover positive solutions, develop meaningful relationships, and live a more fulfilling, authentic life. I provide psychotherapy and counseling to individuals who are ready, motivated and committed to achieving well-being, personal growth and transformation by engaging in the therapeutic process.

As a seasoned licensed psychologist focusing on relationship issues, I work online with couples, individuals and families of adult children who want to improve their intimate relationships at home as well as their relational skills at work. I believe therapy is most effective when it provides both a safe space for reflection as well as a challenge. Additionally, I think good therapy calls for collaboration, sensitivity, honesty, and most of all having your best interests at heart.
