My name is Rosa Diaz. I am a bilingual, Spanish-speaking Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and Reiki Master. I bring both professional expertise and lived experience to my work. My personal journey includes navigating life as a previously undocumented immigrant, growing up as a preacher’s child, and serving as a family caregiver for a loved one with a chronic illness that ultimately ended in death. These experiences have given me a deep appreciation for the ways identity, family, culture, spirituality, loss, and resilience shape our lives and relationships.

My clinical experience spans a range of settings, including county mental health outpatient programs, field-based crisis intervention services, adult correctional facilities, and private practice. Working across these diverse environments has strengthened my ability to support individuals navigating complex mental health challenges, life transitions, trauma, grief, family conflict, and systemic barriers.

I believe that healing happens when people feel genuinely seen, understood, and accepted. While my work is grounded in evidence-based therapeutic approaches, I also recognize the importance of honoring each person’s unique story and lived experience. I strive to create a collaborative and compassionate space where clients can explore challenges, deepen self-understanding, and move toward meaningful, lasting change.
