Meet Our Clinical Team
Silvia Diaz, LCSW Director
When I decided to become a therapist, I envisioned having the privilege of walking with people on their journey to reach their wellness goals. I want people to feel seen, respected, and heard. I am a second generation Latina that offers bilingual and bicultural patient centered care, using a trauma informed, solution focused approach. Since 2014, I've worked in various therapeutic settings, working with at-risk youth, providing integrated behavioral health care, and working with parents using components of the Strengthening Families curriculum. I look forward to supporting you in your journey, reaching your goals, and living a fulfilled life.
Natalie Jinete, LCPC
Being a therapist is a privilege and an honor to have the ability to hold space for others as well as help them process and understand themselves better. As a client centered, solution focused therapist I like to focus on people's strengths to promote growth and encourage change. I am a bilingual, bicultural Latina, with specialized training in group therapy, grief counseling, crisis intervention & de-escalation, motivational interviewing, LGBTQIA+ (gender affirming care), and forensic psychology. I have over 9 years of experience working with adolescents, young adults, adults, and older adults. I have experience working in a variety of clinical settings such as: community mental health/outpatient care, mental health courts, inpatient hospitals, and medical settings. I welcome the opportunity to walk with clients in their life's journey. To work alongside them to grow and learn to better understand themselves.
