Diego Chiluisa
My name is Diego and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC, #010011) in New York State. I have experience providing mental health counseling to individuals, couples, families, and groups. My Master’s degree is in Mental Health Counseling, with a focus on Community services from The City College - City University of New York. My Bachelor’s degree from Queens College is in Psychology. I have worked in multiple settings, including a hospital clinic serving in the area of research of public health with elderly populations and chronic patients. I've also actively volunteered at a local church since 2008 working in the youth department. I understand that seeking “counseling” or “therapy” can be very broad and mean different things. It can be intimidating at first if you haven’t had any prior experience or surprising to experience different therapeutic approaches if you have previously experienced counseling. I want to tell you that I’m here to provide assistance for the needs that you have currently in your life. I see counseling as a dual relationship where you get to be on the driver’s seat and choose where to go on this journey. I seat next to you pointing out details, providing useful information or simply supporting you as you reach towards your destination. Since becoming a counselor, clients, such as yourself, have come to me for a lot of different things, including depression, anxiety, trauma (particularly in the areas of childhood abuse and domestic violence), family and social relationships, self-esteem, and substance abuse. My therapeutic approach integrates humanistic as well as cognitive-behavioral theories to help sort through the various challenges you may be facing at this time. I understand that it takes courage to recognize that you need "help" and that it's a huge step towards wellness in seeking that extra help to deal with those life stressors and I understand that starting counseling can evoke some negative feelings, such as worry, anxiety, or fear; but rest assured that once you embark on this process you won’t be alone and you will have the support to face those challenges and pull from within yourself the resources that you have to solve those problems or challenges on your own. I want to provide a safe atmosphere and assist you with a frame that will be warm, respectful, empowering and supportive to meet your individual needs. I look forward to meeting you should I get to do that. Thank you for taking the time to look at my page!
