My name is Erika Diaz, and I am a Spanish speaking therapist. As a therapist, I am passionate about providing Spanish therapeutic services for children, teens and adults who are in need of support around family communication issues, family healing adversities and environmental challenges that come with change.

I am enthusiastic about working with individuals facing adversities including depression, anxiety, family/life stressors, anger management, trauma, low self esteem, and appropriate communication.

Do you struggle with feeling disconnected from yourself and others? Do you put your needs at the bottom of the to-do list? Do you wonder if life should feel somehow better? Now more than ever, people are feeling anxious, overwhelmed, and uncertain about how they are supposed to manage their relationships, careers, and personal lives. Pushing away your needs and not taking time for yourself can lead to long-term issues for your mind and body. I believe your well-being should come first and foremost.

I characterize my therapeutic approach as imaginative, straightforward, investigative, organized, encouraging, and affirming. I offer several forms of therapy, including narrative, psychodynamic, mindfulness, Latin X, and solutions-focused approaches. I have a wide range of experiences with addiction, abuse and trauma, chronic illness, cultural issues, family dynamics, and transgender challenges. I am also fluent in Spanish when it comes to treatment. I like to travel, spend time with my family, and train my five parrots in my free time.

At times I know life can be daunting and overwhelming with life stressors, the complexity that comes with navigating relationships, or perhaps the feeling that something is holding you back from reaching your full potential; yet part of you wants to feel better and move forward. I have specific experience working with individuals, couples, and families who struggle mental health issues and trauma. In my practice, I am affirming of people of all backgrounds, gender identities, and sexual orientations. Everyone is unique; in my work, I strive to identify the specific factors that foster growth and healing for my clients.

I believe that every individual possesses immense potential for growth, healing, and self-discovery. I am committed to providing a safe and compassionate space where you can explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences without judgment. I am passionate about helping individuals harness their inner strength, overcome obstacles, and achieve peak performance in their chosen fields. Whether you're an athlete, artist, musician, or professional striving for excellence, I am here to support you on your path to success. Together, we can unlock your full potential and help you reach new heights of mental strength and satisfaction!
