Welcome to our latest Clinician Spotlight, where we’re thrilled to introduce Diana Veliz, LCSW. With a deep commitment to serving vulnerable and diverse communities, Diana has supported families in domestic violence shelters and provided compassionate telehealth care to adults facing a wide range of mental health challenges.
Join us in welcoming Diana and read on to learn how her thoughtful, client-centered approach is making a difference.
Specialty & Approach To Therapy
Diana specializes in generational trauma and culturally competent care. She understands how emotional, mental, and physical pain can ripple through families and communities across generations. Diana is particularly skilled at recognizing how an individual’s place in society — sometimes shaped by forces beyond their control — impacts them. With a strong awareness of systemic and societal influences, she brings a nuanced perspective to each person’s journey.
“My style of therapy is empowering and acknowledging. I believe all clients are experts in their lives. My approach is to support by incorporating my experience and knowledge of mental health.”
Advice To Those Seeking Therapy
Diana understands that seeking mental health care can feel daunting, but she emphasizes that it doesn’t have to be. She reminds clients that they hold the power of choice, and the provider’s role is to support them every step of the way.
“My advice when choosing a mental health provider is to stay open to the experience, and sometimes, the challenge. Always trust your gut — it should never feel painful or traumatizing.”
Finding Balance Through Self-Care
Just like anyone else, mental healthcare providers need time to unwind. Diana does just that by watching TV and spending quality time with her dog. She also prioritizes self-care by connecting with friends and family and enjoying a good laugh.
