There may be so many painful and powerful memories that brought you here, stringing along with them the thoughts and emotions that continue to have a negative toll on your daily life. You disconnect, you zone out, you freeze, you run. You may have asked yourself, “Why can’t I just let all of this go and move on?” People in your life may have asked you the same question. Maybe you already tried to take care of the issue yourself, you tried going down so many different avenues to heal and you worked doing so. I’d like to honor that. Now you’re here, trying a different path. So, let’s let's try something new. We'll travel together.
Welcome! My name is Mariana Diaz, and I am a Registered AMFT. I am currently under the supervision of Ah Hyun Lee, LCSW. I utilize MI, CBT, ACT, DBT, and Trauma-Informed Care. I am in training for EMDR until April 2025 as well. I have worked for both inpatient and outpatient programs treating substance use, co-occurring disorders, PTSD and CPTSD.
I identify as a Hispanic and Pacific Islander therapist who understands the impact of cultural issues, discrimination and mental health stigma. I work hard to create a safe space where clients feel comfortable to share their hardships on their own terms. I realize that it may have taken a lot of time and contemplation to seek out services. I honor that!
