Dr. Miguel Diaz

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • Texas


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.

Therapist

Virtual • Texas


I am a licensed mental health professional who works with individuals navigating stress, anxiety, life transitions, and the emotional impact of difficult experiences. My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where clients feel heard, respected, and understood as they work through life’s challenges.

I believe therapy is most effective when it is a collaborative process. Rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach, I take the time to understand each person’s unique experiences, strengths, and goals. Many people come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or uncertain about what comes next. Together, we explore those challenges, build insight, and identify practical steps toward meaningful change.

I approach therapy with curiosity, compassion, and deep respect for each person’s story. My hope is that clients leave each session feeling more grounded, empowered, and confident in their ability to navigate life’s challenges and move forward with greater clarity.

Find the right addiction counselor for you

Headway makes it easier to find support for overcoming addiction — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an Addiction Therapist in Pasadena, TX

Finding addiction therapists in Pasadena starts with knowing what kind of support fits your needs. Addiction care can include support for substance use, alcohol use, compulsive behaviors, relapse prevention, and concerns that occur alongside addiction, such as anxiety, depression, or trauma. As you compare Pasadena therapists, look for someone whose listed specialties and approach match what you want to work on. Relevant approaches may include motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy for substance use, harm reduction, and coordination with a prescriber when medication support is part of your care team.

In a smaller city like Pasadena, the number of local therapists with addiction experience may vary by schedule, office location, and specialty. Virtual appointments can expand your options beyond nearby offices while still giving you access to therapists licensed in Texas. As you narrow your search, consider appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new clients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading bios can also help you see how a therapist describes their communication style, experience with addiction care, and approach to recovery, including non-judgmental or harm reduction-informed support.

Addiction therapy in Pasadena can be a significant cost without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you search for therapists who match your needs, check your insurance, view estimated out-of-pocket costs, and book directly when you’re ready. You can compare Pasadena counseling options by specialty, availability, appointment format, and insurance fit, making it easier to find a therapist who accepts your plan and is ready to take new clients.

If you or someone you know is experiencing severe withdrawal symptoms — especially from alcohol or benzodiazepines — talk to a medical provider or seek emergency care before starting outpatient therapy. If you or someone you know is struggling with addiction or substance use and is in a crisis, immediately reach out to:

* 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline — call or text 988 * SAMHSA National Helpline — 1-800-662-HELP (4357), free, confidential, 24/7 * Crisis Text Line — text HOME to 741741
