Nicole Dieterich Ruiz Diaz

Nicole Dieterich Ruiz Diaz is a compassionate Marriage & Family Therapist (LMFT) who provides holistic, strength-based, trauma-informed, and culturally competent therapy. She believes that building therapeutic relationships on trust, empathy, compassion, and acceptance without judgment is essential to create a safe space for clients. This enables them not only to connect authentically with themselves and others but also to embrace vulnerability. Utilizing a systemic approach, she examines inter-generational patterns within families through an emotionally focused therapeutic lens. Nicole assists clients in gaining awareness of their emotions, increasing their self-contentment, fostering connected and secure relationships, and developing insight into their negative cycles and patterns. Additionally, she offers Medical Family Therapy to families experiencing chronic or terminal illness, facilitating discussions around the impact of illness within the family system. Throughout her sessions, she incorporates biological, psychological, social, and spiritual dimensions into her work. Nicole's hope is to guide her clients on their journey of self-discovery, helping them to dismantle barriers and expand their boundaries, empowering them to become their best selves.
