David Diaz

David Diaz

Therapist

Virtual • New York


I conduct therapy sessions in both English and Spanish. I have experience working with individuals facing challenges related to depression and/or anxiety, as well as those with a history of self-harm and suicidal ideation. I also work with clients to heal from sexual abuse, intimate partner violence, intergenerational trauma, and racial trauma.

My therapeutic approach is rooted in somatic psychotherapy, which acknowledges the mind-body connection and the ways stress is held in the body. As a first-generation Mexican, I am deeply passionate about supporting BIPOC individuals and those from immigrant families.

Additionally, I have a strong background in working with individuals who engage in problematic sexual behavior, as well as those seeking to address an unhealthy relationship with alcohol and drugs.

Find the right addiction counselor for you

Headway makes it easier to find support for overcoming addiction — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an Addiction Therapist in New York

Searching for addiction therapists in New York starts with finding a therapist whose experience matches the type of support you want. Addiction care can include support for alcohol use, drug use, substance use concerns, gambling, compulsive behaviors, or co-occurring concerns like anxiety, depression, and trauma. Look for therapists who list addiction, substance use, or recovery support in their specialties, and review whether they mention approaches like motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy for substance use, harm reduction, or coordination with medication management when a prescriber is part of your care team.

New York has a wide range of therapists across urban, suburban, and rural areas, so available options may look different in New York City, Buffalo, Albany, and smaller communities across the state. Some people prefer in-person sessions with a therapist near home or work, while others use virtual appointments to widen their search. As you compare therapists, consider appointment availability, whether they are accepting new clients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading bios can help you understand how a therapist talks about addiction care, including whether their approach is direct, collaborative, harm reduction-informed, or structured around recovery goals.

The cost of addiction therapy in New York varies, and using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you search for therapists who match your needs, may accept your insurance, and are ready to see new clients. You can enter your insurance details to see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, with access to therapists across over 100 plans nationally. From there, you can browse profiles, compare availability, and book directly when you’re ready.

If you or someone you know is experiencing severe withdrawal symptoms — especially from alcohol or benzodiazepines — talk to a medical provider or seek emergency care before starting outpatient therapy. If you or someone you know is struggling with addiction or substance use and is in a crisis, immediately reach out to:

* 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline — call or text 988 * SAMHSA National Helpline — 1-800-662-HELP (4357), free, confidential, 24/7 * Crisis Text Line — text HOME to 741741
