Natalie Diaz, LSW
Natalie Diaz is a psychotherapist, writer, changemaker, and activist dedicated to fostering holistic wellness in mind, body, and spirit. As a licensed social worker, Natalie partners with clients on their journeys of healing and personal growth, helping them create meaningful change and build tools for a more fulfilling future.
Natalie’s therapeutic approach is rooted in creating a safe, affirming space for exploration and transformation. Combining compassion, authenticity, and empathy, she uses a strengths-based framework to honor the inherent dignity and value of every client. Her practice integrates various modalities—including psychodynamic psychotherapy, somatic awareness, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and mindfulness—and is deeply informed by attachment theory. She approaches therapy with a trauma-informed lens, prioritizing safety, empowerment, and trust. Her practice is grounded in cultural humility and responsiveness, ensuring that clients’ unique identities, backgrounds, and lived experiences are respected and centered in their work together. By fostering an environment of respect and curiosity, Natalie works to create a safe space where clients feel understood and empowered to explore their personal narratives within the context of their culture and values.
Natalie received her Masters of Social Work at the NYU Silver School of Social Work. She received her undergraduate degree from Williams College, during which time she studied at College Year in Athens in Athens, Greece.Before pursuing social work, Natalie had a career as a corporate executive in the real estate industry. As an agent of change, she led diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives, founded mentorship and equity programs, and worked to address systemic barriers in the workplace. Her commitment to social justice extends beyond her clinical practice into her writing and advocacy. She has published pieces in Forbes and USA Today’s network, and her op-ed following George Floyd’s murder was widely shared in outlets like the New York Daily News.
Now based on Maui with her dog, Franklin, she continues her commitment to uplifting individuals, communities, and creating structural change. When she’s not working to change the world and empower individuals, you can find her exploring Maui’s beauty, on long walks with her dog, or planning her next travel adventure.

I went here a few years ago and recently my daughter did as well. It was the BEST experience of my life. I don't know how Mindful Living Group's team do it but they're masters at their work. I've been in therapy for most of my life and have never before made such bounds and stride with confidence, stamina, and pure bliss in my life. No words can express how much I appreciate this practice.
