New York City, Greenwich, CT, Virtual

Dr. Claudia Diez is a consulting and clinical psychologist in private practice. She has expertise in individual psychotherapy for adults, couples counseling, and coaching for working dyads (cofounders, business partners, friends, or family working together.) Years of intensive hospital experience led to her peer-recognized keen, intuitive yet data based diagnostic and therapeutic skills; Her extensive private practice led her to specialize in facilitating interpersonal awareness and change, with focus on couples' conflicts and relational coaching and personal development.
Couples Therapy: Having trained in most major lines of psychotherapy (Psychodynamic, CBT, AEDP, interpersonal, EFT, and Terry Real's Relational Life Therapy among others), she integrates them moment by moment as is the best fit, a flexibility that allows optimal interventions. A decade of work with couples, dyads and groups culminated in her adoption of Terry Real's Relational Life Therapy Model for couples work, the most effective methodology for change among individuals experiencing conflict in their close relationships, whether intimate or professional.
Coaching: Individuals who are at a crossroads in life, phasing a new phase of life (high stress, loss of meaning or pleasure), or those who are experiencing a focal conflict affecting their daily life benefit from time-limited consultations, These consultations have a beneficial effect in a persons' mood and stress level, yet they are not clinical nor are they oriented to treat mental health challenges.
Depth Psychology: Individuals interested in explorations of the deep mind and consciousness can engage with Dr. Diez in Jungian informed work (dream, fantasy and archetype analysis) and transpersonal perspectives. On occasion, sound meditation elements become part of the journey. All together, these diverse technologies make for powerful therapeutic experiences with transformative outcomes in people's wellbeing and everyday life.
*Psychedelic Integration (for Individuals, Groups, or Couples): Dr. Diez is a psychedelics-assisted therapist and psychedelics integration facilitator*. She is certified in MAPS' MDMA-AT (MDMA Assisted Therapy) and Journey Clinical KAP (Ketamine Assisted Therapy) protocols, which are evidence-based competences adding to her extensive experience working with altered mental states in multiple settings (hospitals, corporate and private practice). Dr. Diez has attended and facilitated psychedelic retreats and training programs in the United States and abroad, experiencing herself as well as guiding individuals or couples who use psychedelics to deepen their self-knowledge, wellbeing and relationality.
