# Juliana Diaz

AMFT  
✦ Supervised by  
Shazia Bashiruddin

Therapy and mental health awareness have been present in my upbringing and, while exploring possibilities for mental health, I became interested in providing support for children and families. My experience in elementary education, intensive services, and outpatient services for families and individuals ranging from 0-75+ years of life experience empowers me to tailor support for each person’s unique journey.
