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.
Get to know me
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
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...
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
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?!
