Therapist in Evanston, Illinois Gabrielle Diaz, Therapist

Gabrielle Diaz, LCSW, helps individuals and families build practical skills, emotional insight, and resilience so they can navigate life’s challenges with greater confidence and stability. She provides individual therapy through LifeStance Health to children, adolescents, teens, adults, and seniors across Illinois, offering a supportive and structured space for healing, growth, and meaningful change. Her clinical work focuses on ADHD, anxiety, and depression, while also addressing related concerns such as trauma, grief, school avoidance, identity exploration, and life transitions. Gabrielle tailors treatment to each person’s goals and developmental stage, drawing from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness-based strategies, and parenting skills interventions. She works with individuals as well as caregivers, and serves diverse populations including those involved in adoption or foster care and members of the LGBTQ+ community, while also supporting additional populations as needs arise. A central passion in Gabrielle’s work is supporting individuals who have been recently discharged from a psychiatric hospital or who are engaged in court-ordered treatment. She understands the complexity of these transitions and prioritizes continuity of care, emotional safety, and realistic goal-setting. Her approach emphasizes accountability paired with compassion, helping clients regain stability, strengthen coping strategies, and reintegrate into daily life with clarity and support. Outside of her clinical work, Gabrielle enjoys traveling to new states and countries, hiking state parks across the U.S., and spending quality time with family and friends.
