Eneida Diaz Velasquez, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Eneida!

I know that seeking therapy can feel overwhelming, but my goal is to create a safe, compassionate space where you can feel heard and supported. I work primarily with those navigating trauma, depression, anxiety, and low self-esteem. I believe in the power of personal growth and connecting with your true self.

My focus

I work with those navigating trauma, depression, and anxiety. My goal is to guide you through understanding and processing your emotions, empowering you to create lasting change. I specialize in supporting clients facing interpersonal challenges, including family conflict, divorce, relationship codependency, and struggles with self-worth.

My approach

I use evidence-based practices—including CBT, EFT, DBT, and mindfulness techniques like breathing exercises and meditation—to help you uncover the root of your challenges and move forward with greater clarity and confidence. I'll work with you at your pace, offering practical tools, emotional support, and guidance tailored to your needs.

My communication style

My communication style is warm, empathetic, and collaborative. I take the time to really listen to what you're saying, creating a comfortable, non-judgmental space where you can express your thoughts and emotions freely. My goal is to foster safety, so you feel supported and empowered to explore your feelings at your own pace.

My journey to mental healthcare

I've always been fascinated by the way people think, feel, and connect with each other. I found myself drawn to the stories of others—listening, offering support, and wanting to understand the deeper layers of human emotions. This passion for helping people navigate their emotional lives became a calling.

My goals for you

I help clients reach their goals by creating a clear, collaborative roadmap tailored to their unique needs. Together, we identify what's most important to you—whether that's healing from trauma, managing anxiety, improving relationships, or building self-esteem. We break goals into smaller, achievable steps that feel manageable.

Our first session

The first session is about getting to know each other and laying the foundation for our work together. We'll discuss your current challenges and reasons for seeking therapy. We'll talk about your goals for treatment and discuss a plan moving forward, building trust and establishing a collaborative relationship.
