Diana Guzman is a clinical director at Recovery First.

Passionate about addiction recovery since her college days, Guzman took her degrees in psychology and mental health counseling from Barry University and Nova Southeastern University and embarked on a personal mission to help those struggling with addiction achieve recovery.

Licensed in both Florida and Massachusetts, Diana specializes in treating trauma, anxiety disorders, and crisis intervention. For Diana, the clinician’s chair is not merely a seat of influence; it’s a space where vulnerability meets strength. She invites individuals to confront their challenges head-on, fostering an environment where struggles are met with empathy. Her mantra, “Befriend Stigma,” serves as a rallying cry, encouraging everyone to embrace their journeys and rewrite the narrative around mental health.

Diana is also a sought-after speaker at international conferences, where she embodies the spirit of transformation, lighting the way from darkness to hope. Her powerful message is clear: seeking help is not a sign of weakness but a testament to courage and resilience.
