I am a therapist with a Latinx background and strongly believe we can benefit from a therapist during major life events to help us navigate the valleys of life. This can be major job change, divorce, reinventing ourselves, empty nest syndrome, and death of a loved one. All of these events change our identify a bit. They can bring up unresolved issues in our past. I am therapist that goes to therapy. I believe in the healing power and magic of safe spaces that allow US to be AUTHENTIC. I've been a therapist for the past 12 years and have accumulated experience working with folks who have experienced trauma, anxiety, infertility, bereavement, suicide, PNES, epilepsy, immigration and depression.
I am a New York State licensed psychotherapist and board-certified creative arts therapist helping people with anxiety, OCD, depression, and stress at work or home. I am a big believer in the therapeutic relationship between therapist and client. I provide emotional support and a safe environment and aim to work with empathy and warmth to help generate new perspectives, aim at a sense of wholeness, and restore balance and hope. I also encourage my clients to think deeply about their lives and to take actions to create the change they want to see.
I use cognitive behavioral therapy to alleviate symptoms and a psychodynamic approach to explore attachments and relationships. I am also licensed to use non-verbal forms of exploration such as art therapy and have an interest in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. I have been practicing for 10 years.
I believe therapy works best when people feel safe, understood, and respected. I strive to create a warm and supportive space where clients can talk openly about what they are going through without fear of judgment. I approach my work with compassion, curiosity, and genuine care.
I work with children and adults experiencing anxiety, stress, depression, and life transitions. I also believe that perspective matters—sometimes a difficult day is just that, a day—and I try to bring warmth, mindfulness, and a bit of humor into the process to help keep things grounded and manageable.
My name is Karen Diaz, LMHC. I welcome clients from diverse cultural backgrounds and provide therapy in both English and Spanish. Throughout my experience in outpatient mental health settings, I have worked with children, adolescents, adults, and older adults experiencing a wide range of concerns.
Whether you're navigating anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship challenges, trauma, or self-esteem concerns, you don't have to have everything figured out before starting therapy. Everyone's journey is different, and I consider it a privilege to walk alongside clients as they work toward personal growth.
Healing and growth can be challenging, and you don’t have to do it alone. Whether you’re feeling the weight of past experiences or facing challenges in your relationship, we offer a warm, welcoming space for relational psychotherapy where you can be honest about what you’re carrying and feel fully supported. Our work is grounded in relational and attachment-focused therapy with attention to somatic awareness.
We focus on what matters most—the moments that spark insight, the conversations that feel necessary but tough, and the steps that help you move forward. Together, we will process what has been difficult, nurture your connection with yourself, and deepen your bond with the people who matter most.
