Diane Nanez, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Diane!

Every individual has unique needs and experiences. My goal is to help you become your better self, empowered personally and professionally. I help you develop awareness of how thoughts affect feelings and actions, learn healthy coping skills, create boundaries, and address how past experiences impact present situations.

My focus

I work with individuals navigating anxiety, depression, stress, relationship issues, and behaviors causing impairments at work, school, or in relationships.

My approach

I use cognitive behavioral therapy, client-centered approaches, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused techniques. Therapy is a safe place for healing. Compassion and genuine feedback are the cornerstone of my approach. Everyone goes through challenging situations, and it takes courage to reach out for support.

My communication style

I incorporate unconditional positive regard, congruence, and empathy with each client. I offer a relaxed, safe, and compassionate environment.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey to become a therapist came after the loss of my brother, who struggled with addiction and unspoken trauma. I want to help those who struggle with their mental health silently and feel alone. It breaks my heart for anyone to feel they are alone. I want to have a positive impact and make individuals feel they are not alone.

My goals for you

I walk side-by-side with clients as they go through the therapeutic journey of self-discovery rather than leading or following. My goal is to take the journey with my clients.

Our first session

My first session is to assess and collaboratively work on short-term and long-term goals that will help bring about change and cultivate the opportunity for healing and growth. Finding the right therapist is a very personal decision. I want you to feel comfortable in your decision to continue working with me on your therapeutic path.
