“Diana has been a great therapist to me for the last two years. She's helped me get through a family emergency and figure out how to navigate day-to-day life and decision-making with less anxiety and more trust in myself. She's always made me feel like I have a compassionate person on my side who isn't afraid to question my thinking. And she asks the kind of great questions that have helped me know myself more and figure out what beliefs and habits aren't serving me. ”

Getting to know Diana Fortunato
When life gets difficult, sometimes asking for help seems like an impossible task-whether it is relationship issues, financial stress, or day-to-day lack of motivation. My main priority is that, when stepping into a session, you understand that you're entering a safe space and the beginning of a partnership. The foundations of this partnership are empathy, compassion, and support. Therapy is a journey that I am proud to be a part of. In this partnership, I will work to understand potential triggers and build a treatment plan with the goal of releasing these mental strains. I hold a Master's in Mental Health Counseling from Pace University and a background in Psychology from Mount Saint Mary College, which inform my approach to providing thoughtful and effective care.
What should a new client know about working with you?
As your ally, I will support your path to health, while incorporating techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), solution-focused therapy, and positive psychology. My educational background includes an M.A. in Mental Health Counseling from Pace University and a B.A. in Psychology from Mount Saint Mary College.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
By working together, it’s my goal to ensure that my clients can strengthen their self-confidence, self-love, and self-worth over time and learn how to have healthy relationships for the long term. Creating achievable goals and celebrating accomplishments along the way will provide encouragement that change does not have to be scary.

Diana is a compassionate and insightful therapist who creates a safe, supportive space. She truly listens without judgment, and her guidance has helped me gain new perspectives and tools that have made a difference in my life.

Diana has been wonderful to work with. Her gentle yet thought provoking approach has been very effective in addressing the core issues I wasn’t aware of. She offers words of encouragement and validation while still challenging you think through your own beliefs and unpack those that are no longer serving you. She holds you accountable where it’s needed and encourages you to practice self-forgiveness and reflection. I highly recommend Diana for anyone who is interested in going a bit deeper into your therapy journey and understanding how to make the work you’re doing really work for you.
