Dr. Miguel Diaz

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • Texas


Hello, my name is Miguel A. Diaz and I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) with a Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) degree. I was born and raised in rural South Texas, which gives me a deep understanding of the unique challenges our local communities face when it comes to mental health care. My experience as a U.S. Army veteran has taught me the importance of resilience, service, and compassion—values I bring to every client relationship.

I specialize in providing psychiatric evaluation, medication management, and treatment for a wide range of mental health concerns, including anxiety, depression, and ADHD. My practice focuses on increasing access to care for children, adolescents, adults, and seniors, especially those living in underserved rural areas. Whether you’re new to mental health treatment or looking for ongoing support, you can expect care that is empathetic, evidence-based, and tailored to your individual needs.

I welcome you to reach out and take that first step toward improving your well-being.

Find the right addiction counselor for you

Headway makes it easier to find support for overcoming addiction — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an Addiction Therapist in Austin, TX

Searching for addiction therapists in Austin starts with finding someone whose training matches the kind of support you want. Addiction care can include support for alcohol use, drug use, substance use concerns, gambling, or other behavioral patterns. Some therapists use approaches like motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy for substance use, or care coordination with a prescriber when medication support is part of the care plan. As you compare addiction counselors or an addictions specialist, look for profiles that clearly list experience with your concern and describe how they structure care.

Austin has many therapists across areas like downtown, South Austin, East Austin, and North Austin, which can make the search feel broad at first. Start by narrowing for practical fit: in-person or virtual appointments, scheduling options, therapists accepting new patients, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Some people prefer an office near work or home, while others choose virtual sessions to expand access and reduce travel time. Reading therapist bios can also help you understand communication style, experience with harm reduction frameworks, and whether the therapist describes addiction care in a non-judgmental way.

Therapy in Austin can be a significant expense without insurance, and using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you find Austin therapists who support addiction-related concerns and are accepting new patients. Nationally, Headway partners with 70+ insurance plans, and you can enter your insurance details to confirm coverage for your specific area and plan. You can enter your insurance details to see your estimated out-of-pocket cost before booking, then compare therapist profiles, review availability, and book directly when you’re ready.

If you or someone you know is experiencing severe withdrawal symptoms — especially from alcohol or benzodiazepines — talk to a medical provider or seek emergency care before starting outpatient therapy. If you or someone you know is struggling with addiction or substance use and is in a crisis, immediately reach out to:

* 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline — call or text 988 * SAMHSA National Helpline — 1-800-662-HELP (4357), free, confidential, 24/7 * Crisis Text Line — text HOME to 741741
