Oak Creek Relational Counseling Center is delighted to welcome Desiree Tatarazuk to our team of therapists.

“I believe therapy should feel like a safe, supportive, and sometimes even playful space,” Desiree shares. “My hope is to walk alongside clients as they navigate challenges, find clarity, and build stronger connections with themselves and others.”

Desiree works with children, teens, adults, couples, and families. She brings compassion and creativity to her practice, drawing from approaches that honor each client’s story while fostering resilience, self-awareness, and growth. Whether a child is learning to express big emotions, a couple is working through conflict, or an individual is seeking support through a life transition, Desiree meets clients where they are with warmth and care.

Desiree is supervised by Stephen Polin, LMFT #7861, and offers therapy through Oak Creek’s counseling program. We’re grateful to have her insight, dedication, and supportive presence on our team.

We’re excited to welcome Nataly Velasquez to Oak Creek Relational Counseling Center in Pleasant Hill, California, as our newest Marriage and Family Therapist Trainee. Nataly brings a heartfelt commitment to supporting children and families through life’s challenges with compassion, cultural humility, and deep respect for each person’s unique experience.

In her clinical work, Nataly draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), family systems theory, and strength-based techniques — always tailoring her approach to meet the specific needs of her clients. Whether she’s working with children, adolescents, or families facing anxiety, trauma, or relationship stress, Nataly creates a safe, affirming space where clients can feel heard and supported.

“I see therapy as a powerful space to explore emotions and uncover inner strengths,” Nataly says. “My goal is to help you recognize what’s holding you back and work with you to create practical, meaningful steps toward healing and growth.”

Nataly is supervised by Stephen Polin, LMFT #7861, and offers therapy through Oak Creek’s low-fee counseling program. We’re grateful to have her warmth, insight, and dedication on our team.

We are excited to welcome Sara Diaz (she/her) to Oak Creek Relational Counseling Center as a Marriage and Family Therapist Trainee. Sara is currently pursuing her M.A. in Marriage and Family Therapy at Alliant International University and is supervised by Stephen Polin, LMFT #7861.

Before beginning her clinical training, Sara spent nearly a decade as a teacher, an experience that continues to shape her compassionate, relational approach to therapy. She believes in the healing power of connection and offers a supportive, client-centered space where individuals, couples, and families can explore the stories that have shaped them and begin writing new ones. Her work is guided by warmth, curiosity, and deep respect for the lived experiences each client brings.

Sara integrates a collaborative and relational framework into her work and is passionate about supporting clients navigating anxiety, depression, life transitions, identity exploration, and faith deconstruction. She works with adolescents and adults across diverse backgrounds, including LGBTQ+ clients.

Please join us in warmly welcoming Sara to our community. We are honored to have her at Oak Creek.
