Reyna Diaz, LCSW

Are you having difficulty finding or maintaining meaningful relationships? Wrestling with self-esteem issues? Tired and frustrated with not feeling that you are good enough? Do you find yourself having trouble prioritizing your needs and have people pleasing behaviors. Or perhaps you want to know how lived trauma and/or generational trauma may be affecting you? These are challenges thousands of people face every day. One of my strengths is my ability to connect with my clients by being empathetic, honest, and direct. I provide assistance with life transitions, relationship issues, burnout, grief and loss, depression, anxiety, self-esteem, goal setting and achievement. I can help in understanding how systemic forms of oppression affect the mental health of BIPOC communities. Through a trauma-informed approach, I work to validate and process these experiences, while also empowering clients to reclaim their narratives and cultivate resilience. My approach is rooted in cultural humility, acknowledging that each person's experiences are shaped by their cultural background, family dynamics, and societal influences. I work collaboratively with clients to explore the intersectionality of their identities and how these factors may impact their mental health and well-being. As an immigrant from Central America, I am all too familiar with the cultural and sociological challenges that can consume our daily lives. I am familiar with the stigma attached to therapy and the perception of weakness that can be associated with seeking treatment. In reality, true strength comes from the ability to recognize and acknowledge you have a problem and the courage to do something about it. I believe you possess the necessary strength to begin the healing process. My clients describe me as authentic, direct, empowering, and open-minded. I am someone with a sense of humor, that will call you out and give you direction when needed. I welcome those that are seeking therapy for the first time and/or have had negative experiences with therapy. Contact me for a free consultation to see if I am a good fit.
