“I was looking for someone in the beginning that had experience for as many of my anxiety symptoms as possible and I chose Maricela. I had never had a therapist before so I didn‚Äôt really know what to expect. What I ended up with was not just a therapist but someone who understood me and genuinely cared about how my day went. Someone I could tell anything to and not worry about it. Someone I could laugh with and feel good about myself and hopeful about facing the next day. I got really lucky!!üòä”

Getting to know Maricela Diaz
Hi there, I'm Maricela!
My name is Maricela Diaz; I am an LMFT and an LPCC. I enjoy working with people who are going through challenges and need some guidance in a therapeutic way. I earned my Master's in Counseling from California State University, Los Angeles.
My approach
I use CBT therapy, a strengths-based approach, career counseling, and come from a faith-based perspective.
My focus
I work with individuals, couples, and families. I like to work with teenagers, adults, and seniors.
My communication style
People have told me that I help them be challenged and step out of their comfort zone. But most importantly, I want them to be able to accomplish things at their own pace.
My journey to mental healthcare
I have been through many challenges in my life, and I bring a lot of experience, knowledge, and understanding that can help others on their journey to be in a better place themselves.
My goals for you
I like to invite clients to set up their goals with me. I offer reflection on what is a priority for them in their lives, along with my recommendations and suggestions.
My first session with you
Clients should expect a warm, understanding, empathetic therapist who is willing to listen, guide, and support them on their journey.
