Therapists » Marriage & Family Therapist Associate
There may be so many painful and powerful memories that brought you here, stringing along with them the thoughts and emotions that continue to have a negative toll on your daily life. You disconnect, you zone out, you freeze, you run. You may have asked yourself, “Why can’t I just let all of this go and move on?” People in your life may have asked you the same question. Maybe you already tried to take care of the issue yourself, you tried going down so many different avenues to heal and you worked doing so. I’d like to honor that. Now you’re here, trying a different path. So, let’s let's try something new. We'll travel together. Welcome! My name is Mariana Diaz, and I am a Registered AMFT. I reside in New Jersey while working for my California licensure and am currently under the supervision of Ah Hyun Lee, LCSW. I utilize MI, CBT, ACT, and DBT, and Trauma-Informed Care. I have worked for both inpatient and outpatient programs treating substance use and co-occurring disorders. I see myself as both a learner and fellow traveler as I empathize and normalize your reactions while you work towards healthy emotional expression and relief, whatever that means for you! Every session will hold space for you. This is your time. This is your journey. I am here to walk with you wherever you wish to go. I look forward to connecting!
