About me

Pastoral Counselor with more than 30 years of experience. I have worked with survivors of disasters or crises, people who have experienced a humanitarian crisis, or who are survivors of migration-related trauma. I have also worked with disaster workers experiencing compassion fatigue and/or veterans experiencing adjustment issues. I consider it important to walk with people who seek accompaniment and a compassionate ear after a traumatic experience, as well as those people who because of their age feel overwhelmed and without desire to move forward, as well as those who have suffered loss and hope.

Consejera Pastoral con más de 30 años de experiencia. He trabajado con sobrevivientes de desastres o crisis, personas que han experimentado una crisis humanitaria o que son sobrevivientes de traumas relacionados con la migración. También he trabajado con trabajadores de desastres que experimentan fatiga por compasión y / o veteranos que experimentan problemas de adaptación. Considero importante caminar con personas que buscan acompañamiento y un oído compasivo después de una experiencia traumática, así como con aquellas personas que por su edad se sienten abrumadas y sin ganas de seguir adelante, así como con aquellas que han sufrido pérdida y esperanza.

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Dr. Joseph Prewitt-Diaz. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.

He is honest and understands you very well from the first time. I am looking forward to continuing my therapy with him

Dr. Prewitt-Diaz offers advice and counseling that is grounded in a firm understanding of my cultural background and my religious beliefs.

He approaches every conversation with his best effort to understand, and move forward with practical solutions that can help me. He also encourages me to go out and seek important resources outside of our virtual counseling such as religious leaders in my community.

What I appreciate most about Dr. Prewitt-Diaz is his honest approach to counseling. He does not add fluff or try and sugarcoat the message. He will be honest about how he sees things and why he sees things in a way that is fair, respectful, and above all, is characterized by positive intent.

He is someone who genuinely wants to help and he makes that his goal from day one.

I have navigated incredibly complex situations from a cultural and religious perspective in relation to the relationships and events in my life, purely based off the advice that he’s given me.

Im grateful I have the opportunity to work with him.

I trusted Dr. Diaz was going to be a good match for me, because he holds much wisdom in human behavior and interpersonal dynamics, and knows when and how to challenge. I wanted someone who could relate without being a sycophant.
Thanks Joe! I'm glad you encouraged me to keep fighting.

Dr. Prewitt-Diaz has a gentle, yet stern approach to helping me understand my emotions and thoughts. He lets you speak and simply asks questions. He will call you out on any BS that isn’t fair or true, which I enjoy. I have had to rethink my entire life because of several of our conversations. He is one of the best professionals I have had the privilege of meeting.
