Get To Know Me
Becky Diaz LMFT
Hello, and welcome. I'm Becky and my journey into therapy comes from an understanding in the power of giving and receiving help. Growing up in a big immigrant family I learned the importance of relationships in shaping my sense of self. This understanding ignited my passion for studying marriage and family therapy, a passion that continues to fuel my personal and professional growth.
As a full-time professor, I am deeply devoted to the art of teaching about therapy, engaging in discussions around it, and, of course, practicing it. Teaching allows me to remain a perpetual student, ever curious and eager to evolve. Beyond academia and therapy, I wear many hats—mom, wife, sister, Titi, friend, and more—each role offering valuable insights into the complexities of human connection.
Outside of my professional endeavors, you'll often find me indulging in my interests, whether it's nurturing my plants, moving around, getting lost in a good book, or enjoying music. These diverse passions enrich my perspective and allow me to approach therapy with a well-rounded outlook, nurturing a holistic approach to healing and growth.
In my practice, I strive to create a supportive and empowering environment for growth, where clients can explore, heal, and thrive. I invite you to delve deeper into my journey and approach to therapy. If you have any questions or if you're ready to schedule a session, please don't hesitate to reach out. I look forward to connecting with you.

How I Work:
I approach therapy with respect for the full complexity of your life. Instead of viewing individuals as broken or isolating experiences from their context, I focus on understanding your relationships, history, culture, and hopes for the future. My goal is to support meaningful relational change grounded in your lived experience.
As a bilingual, trauma-informed systems therapist, I use integrative models that honor the present moment while acknowledging how past trauma and systemic oppression impact your life and relationships. I bring a culturally responsive and affirming lens, recognizing how attachment patterns and intergenerational dynamics shape your inner and outer worlds.
Together, we create a safe and compassionate space where you can explore your experiences, heal from trauma and pain, and build deeper connections—with yourself, your loved ones, and your environment.
I tailor evidence-based models to fit your needs. Internal Family Systems (IFS) helps you develop a compassionate relationship with your inner parts, fostering healing and internal harmony. For couples, I draw from Imago Relationship Therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), and Internal Family Systems for Couples (IFIO) to deepen connection, empathy, and emotional safety.
With families, I use Structural Family Therapy as a foundation, combined with IFS and a multigenerational, culturally attuned lens to understand how the past influences present dynamics. This approach supports families in identifying patterns, strengthening bonds, and creating healthier ways of relating.
With compassion and respect, I support individuals, couples, and families in building intimacy, trust, and resilience on their healing journey.
