I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with extensive experience working individually with clients to address issues and promote their personal well-being and success. I believe every individual is unique and my approach is tailored to and reflects the specific needs of the client. I have dedicated myself to assisting individuals navigate through the various issues encountered in their personal life experience, while improving their quality of life.
The human experience and the needs of every individual are specific to the person, and I believe that there is not a "one-size-fits all" approach and/or solution that will "work all the time." Every session is tailored to the current, here & now, physical and mental state of the client and always in direction of the underlying personal need.
Together, we can deal with and/or navigate, any difficulty that you may encounter in life, as I believe, no issue/challenge is too big for an individual to overcome/manage. Thank you for taking the time to read this description, I look forward to our time and work together during session.
Kind regards,
Diego Gumucio

I’ve worked with Diego for over a year now and he’s genuinely the best therapist I’ve ever worked with. He’s fully engaged in the session, feels like a friend you can talk to during the session and he also makes you feel like you’re seen and he’s really good at dissecting what you’re going through while having a hands off approach. I still don’t know how that’s possible ? but 10/10 recommend! He’s awesome

I have had a great experience. I’ve seen A LOT of different therapists over the years and I know how stressful it can be trying to find the right one. I’ve had 2 great therapists who helped me out tremendously and Mr. Gumucio is shaping up to be the third. Give him a try. He is very qualified and it shows. He asks a lot of questions and doesn’t judge how you answer them, he just uses the info to help him understand how to better treat you. He also guides you through thoughts and often uses the chat to send useful info about what you might have talked about during the session. The 45 minutes always go by fast and I never have to worry about what he might say. In my experience this is just the type of therapist that has helped me in the past.

Diego is very fluid regarding your therapy needs. He doesn't try to fit you in a category. His answers are not generic. He listens to the problem and takes the session in a direction which will specifically solve your case. I also like the fact that he challenges my thoughts and thinking process a lot which helps me identify harmful patterns and change them accordingly.

I am happy with Mr. Diego Gunucio. He has ALWAYS been attentive to my concerns. He has good every and I am pleased with his professionalism too. He understands my needs and he pays attention to the issues that I deem important. He was my rock when I faced the most difficult time of my life and he has supported me me ways that not even him would ever truly understand.
I feel confident that recommending him to a family member, a friend or colleague would be would be a positive and they would be pleased with his skills, experience and his ability to understand and offer the help needed to get them in a better place. He is not one to be late for his appointments nor is he one to hold back on anything. He is kind, and I love that fact that his approach to therapy motivates while at the same time inspires. He also responds to messages in quick time and he makes sure that I am aware the he is always accessible outside of my booked sessions/appointments to ask any questions of share anything that would be on my mind… . Apart from the time he speaks with me and respond to my messages he also sends me thoughtful nuggets for wellness. I strongly believe in him and I will conclude by stating that while I would want to give up BetterHelp; I would not want to loose Mr. Gumucio.

Diego is a non judgmental compassionate listener who makes me feel safe to share things I’ve never told anyone. He asks excellent questions that elicit a lot of inner reflection and empowerment. He is much better than my last therapist who had a PHD but seemed to lack real curiosity in her questions. She was looking for answers that confirmed her biases and when she wasn’t making progress she projected that onto me. Thank god I am old enough and know myself well enough to not be screwed up by that kind of poor therapy. I am so glad I found Diego. I am rapidly acknowledging buried traumas and old thinking habits and replacing with new more helpful inner belief systems. Diego has a unique gift of making you feel seen, heard and your experience validated. He is a unicorn.
