Bipolar disorder therapists & psychiatrists in Lufkin, TX

I am passionate about helping people feel seen, heard, and supported as they navigate life's challenges and discover their inner strengths. My approach is to create an authentic and individual relationship with my clients so they can explore their thoughts, feelings, and hopes without judgment.

As a board certified psychotherapist, I believe prioritizing mental health is key to happiness and stability in life. Seeking help can be one of the hardest parts, so congratulations on taking that step! I have 13 years of experience in the mental health field but more recently have focused on work with adult clients who have unresolved childhood trauma. I also enjoy helping clients who are struggling with depression, anxiety, OCD, stress and life transitions.

I love helping people navigate anxiety and the ups and downs of everyday life—because let’s be honest, it can get a little chaotic. I aim to create a space that feels supportive, nonjudgmental, and real, where you can be yourself. Along the way, I’ll help you gain insight, build tools, and maybe even share a few laughs as you grow into the version of yourself you’re working toward.

Successful therapy begins by meeting the client where they’re at. As a clinical therapist with a background in social work, I believe therapy should be client-centered with a feeling of safety and trust. I pull techniques from various well-known therapies that are unique to the client's needs, acting as a guide, partnering with the client to find the best path to success. Some may need only one or two sessions, while others more. Regardless, this is a journey that we can figure out together.

I provide personalized mental health care for adults and adolescents struggling with anxiety, depression, ADHD, PTSD, OCD, bipolar disorder, and related concerns. My focus is helping you feel better, think more clearly, and regain control of your daily life.

I offer comprehensive evaluations and medication management through secure telehealth across Texas, with in-person availability in the Dallas–Fort Worth area. Treatment is tailored to your unique needs, with careful attention to effectiveness, side effects, and long-term stability.

I’m a licensed clinical psychologist whose work is grounded in evidence-based, compassionate care. I completed advanced graduate training in clinical psychology, followed by supervised work in outpatient and higher-acuity settings, where I treated adults and adolescents with a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship difficulties.

In my practice, I primarily use approaches like CBT, ACT, and trauma-informed therapies, integrating them in a way that’s tailored to each person rather than one-size-fits-all. I pay close attention to cultural and contextual factors, and I use measurement-based care so we can see whether treatment is actually helping you over time.

Clients often describe me as understanding, direct, and collaborative: I’ll bring structure and clinical expertise while also respecting your pace and values. I work with individual adults (and in some cases teens) who are dealing with issues like chronic stress, perfectionism, identity and life transitions, grief, and the impact of past traumatic experiences.

My goal is to provide a space that is both validating and change-focused; somewhere you can be fully honest, feel understood, and also develop practical skills to live in a way that feels more aligned with who you want to be

Hello, my name is Miguel A. Diaz and I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) with a Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) degree. I was born and raised in rural South Texas, which gives me a deep understanding of the unique challenges our local communities face when it comes to mental health care. My experience as a U.S. Army veteran has taught me the importance of resilience, service, and compassion—values I bring to every client relationship.

I specialize in providing psychiatric evaluation, medication management, and treatment for a wide range of mental health concerns, including anxiety, depression, and ADHD. My practice focuses on increasing access to care for children, adolescents, adults, and seniors, especially those living in underserved rural areas. Whether you’re new to mental health treatment or looking for ongoing support, you can expect care that is empathetic, evidence-based, and tailored to your individual needs.

I welcome you to reach out and take that first step toward improving your well-being.
