Diana Delgado, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Diana!

I'm a first-generation Latina therapist who understands the unique challenges many of my clients face. My experiences as a Latina woman guide my practice and help me connect deeply with the issues you may be navigating. I'm here to support you with warmth and understanding.

My focus

I work with families and individuals who have experienced trauma, PTSD, anxiety, and depression. My focus is on helping you process difficult experiences and find pathways to healing and growth.

My approach

I use CBT to help you challenge unhelpful thoughts and replace them with more positive, empowering ones. Our thoughts shape how we feel, and together we'll identify patterns that aren't serving you. We'll also explore your strengths, discovering what you already have and how to use those tools to move forward.

My communication style

Open, honest communication is the foundation of our work together. I take pride in building strong partnerships with my clients and meeting you exactly where you are. Therapy is about what you want to work on, and I'm here to support that process with genuine care and collaboration.

My journey to mental healthcare

My personal experiences as a first-generation college graduate shape how I understand and connect with the challenges my clients face. These experiences guide my commitment to supporting others through their own journeys.

My goals for you

Our work focuses on identifying and challenging unhelpful thought patterns while discovering and maximizing your existing strengths. Together, we'll create meaningful change that aligns with what matters most to you.

Our first session

First sessions start with you and what feels comfortable. We can ease in with introductions and questions to get to know each other, or dive deeper if you're ready. There's no pressure—we'll move at your pace. Follow-up sessions combine processing with working toward your goals.
