Misty Annette Diaz
Welcome to M.A.D. Therapy, LLC! I am Misty Annette Diaz, PhD (abd), and we’re all M.A.D. here. Together we’ll move from survival mode into a life guided by confidence, connection, and change. As an LMFT and PhD (abd), helping relationships thrive is my ultimate goal. Lasting change begins with the relationship we have with ourselves. I actively challenge the patterns that keep clients stuck. I guide my clients out of survival mode into the present moment. I incorporate trauma informed yoga to reset the nervous system. I am EMDR trained. In-person & in-home case-by-case. Stay safe and talk soon. My experience varies from severe mood disorders to generalized anxiety.
Having clinical experience in military settings i.e. war zones, in-patient/out-patient psych units, Texas state agencies, and private practice…I do not scare easily.
Niches with training: Suicidality and high-risk, LGBTQIA+, Military, Adoption, First responders .
First session
In our first session, we will join together to discuss concerns and create goals for a preferred future. The following sessions will explore dynamics individually and systemically as we stabilize day-to-day routines. Restructuring daily environments provides safety to explore the past traumas which continue to sabotage our present choices. Let the healing begin... M.A.D. Therapy, LLC.
Strengths
Having clinical experience in military settings i.e. forward deployed war zones, in-patient/out-patient psych units, Texas state agencies, and private practice…I do not scare easily. I’ve been around. I can also sit with you in the dark. Namaste M.A.D. Therapy, LLC.
Ideal clients
I enjoy clients who are eager for change. My favorites are motivated to exit survival mode and enter into safety in the present moment. Let’s feel our feels. I am here to guide you. Change can only happen when we are sick of our own poor choices. The lowest we have been is equivalent to the height of our ascension ability. Let’s get weird and connect to our highest & best self with the support of our ancestors. I love to watch my clients fall in love with themselves. What’s the best that could happen? Namaste M.A.D.

Treatment methods
Family Therapy
As a relationship therapist, LMFT, and PhD (abd), helping relationships thrive is my ultimate goal. In addition to Family Systems work, I utilize Solution-Focused Therapy to stabilize day-to-day life and design a preferred future. Once a safe environment is established we will explore the root of the traumas. We will re-evaluate boundaries and increase self-confidence and self-validation with the development of strong coping skills and self-soothing techniques. I guide my clients out of survival mode to living in the present. I include trauma-informed yoga, DBT, attachment, and neuropsychology, and psychopharm. M.A.D. Therapy, LLC
