Hello, I’m Hazel

Hi, I’m Hazel Erika Diaz, a Canadian Certified Counsellor (CCC) and Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) based in Calgary, Alberta. I work with individuals who are often high-functioning on the outside but quietly navigating anxiety, overthinking, self-doubt, or the feeling of being caught between “too much” and “not enough.”

Many of my clients are the ones others rely on — the helpers, the over-thinkers, the ones who learned early how to be strong, responsible, or emotionally aware. They may resonate with anxious attachment, ADHD, autism, or find themselves in the midst of a life transition where old ways of coping no longer fit. Whether you’re new to therapy or returning with deeper questions, you’re welcome here.

My approach is trauma-informed, relational, and emotionally attuned, with a solution-focused lens that helps translate insight into meaningful, practical change. Together, we explore how your nervous system, relationships, upbringing, and sense of identity intersect — and we also identify what’s already working, clarify what you want more of, and take small, intentional steps toward feeling more grounded and capable in your day-to-day life.

My work is also gently informed by my experience as a second-generation Filipino immigrant, shaping a sensitivity to cultural expectations, responsibility, and the quiet ways people learn to put others first.

You don’t have to carry everything alone. You deserve support that meets you where you are — with curiosity, care, and gentleness. If you’re ready to feel more connected, steady, and at home within yourself, I’d be honoured to walk alongside you.
