Gema Diaz, LMFT

Do you often feel 'ni de aquí ni de allá'? As a member of the Latino community, navigating cultural identity can be challenging, and you're not alone. I specialize in culturally-affirming therapy specifically designed for individuals within the bicultural community, addressing the unique struggles we face, including trauma, anxiety, grief, and relational challenges.

My mission is to create a safe and inclusive space where you can explore your experiences and feelings without judgment. I am here to help you reclaim your authentic self, heal from past wounds, and develop a stronger sense of belonging in both your cultural roots.

I have 8 years of experience working as a clinician providing individual and family therapy. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify and shift the anxious or negative thought patterns, giving you practical, immediate tools. For deeper wounds, I utilize Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), a proven approach that helps the brain naturally process traumatic memories, allowing you to move past the pain without reliving it. I often use Attachment Based Therapy, to help you identify past patterns that have not been beneficial and begin breaking free from those old habits to create new fulfilling and healthy relationships.

As a first generation Mexican-American, I am sensitive to diverse cultural values, unique identities, and perspectives. I value an authentic connection and a little bit of humor in the therapy room.

Together, we can work towards understanding and embracing your identity, empowering you to foster meaningful connections and cultivate resilience. Book a FREE consult now or visit my website.
