My name is Dr. Kiley Dunne Lizama and I am the founder and a clinician at Diaspora Therapy Group. I work with clients who are BIPOC, QTPOC, or first-gen individuals navigating complex trauma, anxiety, or identity struggles. They may be an eldest daughter, a childhood sexual abuse survivor, or someone carrying intergenerational burdens. They seek therapy that acknowledges systemic oppression and values cultural identity. Their goal is to heal, set boundaries, and reclaim rest without guilt while developing self-advocacy and emotional resilience.
I specialize in gender-affirming and multicultural therapy for marginalized communities. Utilizing trauma treatments like EMDR, psychodynamic therapy, and ACT, my practice is attuned to addressing complex trauma and systemic challenges. I help clients develop self-advocacy skills and embrace their authentic selves.
In my practice, I have come to recognize the systemic barriers impacting marginalized communities. My affirming approach, rooted in social justice and cultural humility, focuses on understanding your unique story to help you navigate and overcome these challenges. Reach out to start your journey towards healing and empowerment.
