Rita Diaz, LPCC — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Rita!

I work with you in English, Spanish, or Spanglish. My focus areas are first-generation Latinx issues and conflict.

My focus

I am well aware of the trauma and complexities that come with being a child of migrants, as well as the identity concerns and issues that can be attributed to them.

My approach

I have a constructivist theoretical orientation and utilize an eclectic approach to interventions. I work with the tools you already have but may not be aware of. I also engage and challenge you to process parts of your past you may not be aware of.

My communication style

I will encourage you for more, to move toward your goals, and more.

My journey to mental healthcare

I've always been an observer and have had curiosity about our human behaviors, as well as considering our environment and how it affects us. But! Also, understanding that our environment does not define us.

My goals for you

I meet you where you are and encourage a step further.

Our first session

We will establish our expectations of one another and do our best to ensure that I can provide what you need for your therapeutic goals.
