Maribel Diaz, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Maribel!

I work with individuals, families, and couples of all ages to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and trauma.

My focus

I am experienced working with school-aged children from K-12, and adults who have challenges with life transitions (i.e., Divorce, Grief, and Loss) and/or have endured traumatic experiences that make it difficult to focus, learn, and enjoy life.

My approach

I provide a holistic and unique treatment experience by utilizing a combination of Evidence-Based Practices and modalities that best fit the people I work with. Including but not limited to Trauma Informed CBT, Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Based Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy.

My communication style

My communication style is warm, accepting, and personable. I make the people I work with feel comfortable, understood, supported, and empowered.

My journey to mental healthcare

I have always advocated for people who did not have a voice or the ability to stand up for themselves. I became a therapist to help children and adults find their voice, courage, and power to work through traumas and challenges from the past and learn how to live a safe, healthy, well-balanced life.

My goals for you

My approach to goal setting and treatment planning is to start where you want to start and work together to formulate a roadmap in which we can identify the root cause, triggers, and symptoms of challenges and ways to overcome them. I can help you lower the duration, intensity, and frequency of symptoms.

Our first session

You will find my approach easygoing and direct. You will walk away from our sessions feeling empowered and ready to make shifts and changes to improve your overall health, outlook on life, and daily functioning.
