LMFT, 13 years of experience
Welcome to M.A.D. Therapy, LLC! I am Misty Annette Diaz, and we’re all M.A.D. here. You are no longer alone because I am here to join you. I guide my clients out of survival mode and into the present moment as your co-pilot. As a doctoral student, helping relationships thrive is my ultimate goal. The most important relationship is with ourselves. As a “Parkland baby” native Dallasite, I returned home after my military retirement to heal my city. I incorporate trauma-informed yoga to reset the nervous system. In-home & outdoor in-person. Stay safe and talk soon.
In our first session, we will join together to discuss concerns and create goals for a preferred future. The following sessions will explore dynamics individually and systemically. As we stabilize day-to-day routines, restructuring daily environments provides safety to explore past traumas which continue to sabotage will be unpacked and processed. Let the healing begin...
Having clinical experience in military settings i.e. war zones, in-patient/out-patient units, Texas state agencies, and private practice…I do not scare easily. I’ve been around. I can also sit with you in the dark. Namaste
I love joining with clients who are eager for change. I love watching my clients evolve and become their best selves, living their best lives! You survived the trauma, and you will survive the healing journey. I am here as your copilot...what's the BEST that could happen?!

I’ve seen Misty for a month and I already feel a meaningful shift taking place. One of the things I appreciate most about her approach is how grounded and empowering it is. She helps me bring my struggles into the room, sort through them, and figure out what’s truly mine to carry—and what I can give back to others. She doesn’t try to fix everything for me—she walks beside me while I learn how to do that for myself. It’s only been a short time, but I can already feel the difference.

The session was insightful and I was given some tools that were useful and honest.

I came to this therapy group through my insurance. Speaking with a Humana nurse. I'm 81 have had lots of therapy through my life and I just needed to talk to someone objective to my story. Mist was a very good listener. Her personality seem o fit with me. I was a little anxious about having a counselor again, but Misty calmed me almost immediately. Thank you Misty, I look forward to our next session.
As a relationship therapist, LMFT, and doctoral MFT student, helping relationships thrive is my ultimate goal. In addition to Family Systems work, I utilize Solution-Focused Therapy to stabilize day-to-day life and design a preferred future. Once a safe environment is established we will explore the root of the traumas. We will re-evaluate boundaries and increase self-confidence and self-validation with the development of strong coping skills and self-soothing techniques. I guide my clients out of survival mode to living in the present. I include trauma-informed yoga, DBT, attachment, and neuropsychology.

Emotional intelligence is a learned skill. Most of us were not taught how to manage our emotions. I am here to help you experience emotions somatically and understand how emotional awareness and emotional management, somatically and cognitively.
For family systems, I utilize structural systems to restructure the system creating clear roles and boundaries within the system.
As a certified trauma-informed yoga instructor, reconnecting the mind and body following survival mode is utilized to reset the nervous system.
