Hello, My name is Thalia Diaz, and I'm thrilled to have been connected with you! As a therapist, I strive to create a warm, caring, and non-judgmental space to work with clients. I am aware that the times in which talk-therapy is sought out are also the times in which life feels overwhelming. Whatever that struggle may be, I believe that the human spirit is strong and capable of healing. I am passionate about working alongside my clients to heal those wounds and setting them up to be able to reach the goals they've set for their futures. Though I have experience working with a wide range of people, my passion is to help young adults who struggle with trauma, depression, grief, and/or anxiety to process their life stories, strengthen their sense of identity, and develop the skills needed for the life they desire.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
As your therapist you can expect me to approach you with kindness, warmth, genuine curiosity, and at times a razzle dazzle of humor. I will initially want to get to know you as an individual, learn more about your personal goal for therapy, and identify the changes you would like to see in your life. Once goals are identified we will continue to meet to do the difficult but rewarding introspective work of therapy. I am an encouraging and optimistic therapist while also a therapist that will challenge you when patterns of incongruent thoughts/behaviors arise. I am always honored when entrusted to join people in their mental health journey, and am looking forward to meeting with you!
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
My approach is strengths-based and uses a combination of several theories including, Adlerian, CBT, solution-focused, and internal family systems. Though talk-therapy is at the root of what I do, I know that there are some things that for some reason or another cannot be put into words. Because of this I enjoy incorporating art, movement, and play into therapy sessions whenever my clients are comfortable with it.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My strengths are working with young adults who have been hurt by those they loved. Regardless of that pain being intentional or unintentional, recent or historical, big or small, that pain deserves healing. I am also a therapist that is culturally competent, and understands that each family system is unique. I have over 5 years of experience working with adolescents and young adults who have experienced various traumas and are ready to process it and work towards living the life they want.
