Itzel Diaz | LSW
Itzel Diaz, LSW, is a bilingual therapist offering in-person sessions in Chicago and virtual therapy across Illinois. As a proud Chicana and first-generation professional, Itzel brings personal understanding and cultural attunement to her work with Latinx clients, especially students and young adults navigating stress, identity, and self-doubt.
Her therapeutic style is warm, strengths-based, and empowering. Itzel creates a nonjudgmental space where you can explore your experiences, unpack generational pressures, and learn tools to manage anxiety and emotions. She blends CBT, mindfulness, and cultural values like familismo to help clients reconnect with themselves and find their own path forward.
Itzel is especially passionate about helping clients honor where they come from, while also giving themselves permission to grow in new directions. Healing, in her eyes, is about self-compassion and rediscovering your voice.
"You’ve spent so long being strong for everyone else. Now it’s time to show up for yourself."
