From music to poetry, creativity has been a special piece of Keren since she can remember. She enjoys listening to music from all different languages, playing piano, creative writing, drawing, creating stickers, and more. Keren is on her path to finding her niche in this field and helping others find their own as well.

Education Background

Keren Diaz (she/her/ella) is a second-year graduate level intern pursuing her master’s at Loyola University Maryland’s clinical professional counseling program. She received her Bachelors in Arts at the University of Baltimore in Psychology and a minor in creative writing. Keren has extensive experience working with children and teens in both individual and classroom settings. She has learned skills to collaborate with parents to create a safe and supportive space where kids can grow and thrive. She has used Spanish as a primary language to teach and empower young children within their cultural roots or introduce Spanish/Latin roots to young children. Working with children allowed her to experience life through the lens of saturated colors and endless opportunities, which inspired her to pursue a field that facilitates their emotional, social, and intellectual needs. She is excited to develop and build on her skillsets to empower all individuals at Creative Psychological Health Services.
