Great to meet you!

Hi! My name is Diego Fuentes and I have been counseling and providing therapy for 16 years in southern California. I attended Cal state Fullerton for undergrad and went to Cal state L.A. for graduate school. I am strongest when working with alcohol/substance use, depression, anxiety, and goal setting. I focus on recognizing the individual's many strengths and reframing negative self-images in order to achieve a healthier perception of self.

A bit about my approach to therapy

The main principles that we touch on are strength based perspective, CBT and Motivational Interviewing, with the goal of recognizing a person's many strengths and reframing negative self-images. Part of the journey includes implementing positive self talk, validation, healing and working to achieve healthier boundaries

What you can expect from our first session

Our first meeting will be about understanding your goals and gathering a little history about you!. When a client works with me they will feel validated and supported and will never feel judged
