The Team
Liz Diaz, MA. LPC. CPCS. Executive Director Counselor Supervisor Therapist
The best way to describe Liz is to say, “Bring it on!” Liz takes on the most difficult cases. She has been serving families in the Atlanta metro area for decades and in that time, she has seen a lot and fears nothing!
Her work with adults includes tackling issues related to trauma, acute relationship issues, high conflict co-parenting, reunification therapy, and anti-recidivism counseling. She also works with individuals navigating antisocial behaviors and other personality disorders. Liz specializes in working with angry teenagers, high achievers, corporate executives, and high profile individuals.
Her background in early childhood development has also allowed her to act as a child’s personal guide through the world of toys, imagination, and feelings! As a play therapist, she speaks fluent LEGO, superhero, and princess—because sometimes, words just don’t cut it. Besides, who says therapy can’t include a little bit of playtime magic?"
Afiya Yabuku, MA. LPC Clinical Director Therapist
Otherwise known as “Yoda,” Afiya is our resident child whisperer. As a former early childhood educator, Afiya can connect with kids unlike anyone else. She is a kid at heart herself and brings all of that youthful energy to her play therapy space. She specializes in behavior modification, emotional regulation, trauma, and difficult life transitions. Some say her mere presence can bring calm to any space. She is an expert Pokemon TCG player and Roblox aficionado.
