Laura Diaz, LCSW

Psychotherapist
CA
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in California with over 15 years of professional experience. I hold a Master’s in Social Work from the University of Southern California. I have worked extensively with clients dealing with trauma and abuse, grief and loss, motivation, self-esteem, and anxiety/depression. My approach is warm and collaborative. I strive to create an open and safe environment where clients can share their thoughts and feelings without fear of judgment. I incorporate evidence-based practices alongside strength-based, solution-focused, mindfulness, and family systems approaches. Together, we address goals, build on strengths, and support opportunities for change in a safe, non-judgmental space. I have experience working with children, adults, and families, with a primary focus on anxiety and depression-related disorders. I have provided services to traditionally underserved and culturally diverse populations, assisting clients in managing symptoms and developing healthier coping skills. My communication style is warm and empathetic, helping clients express themselves openly. Many have shared that they appreciate my personable approach and my ability to help them feel more hopeful and motivated for change. My journey to mental healthcare began with a fascination for how the mind works and how people demonstrate resilience despite challenges. I strongly believe in the power of helping others. By building on people’s undiscovered strengths and offering effective tools, we can support their personal healing and growth. As Maya Angelou said, “People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”
