Daniela Guzman

Daniela Guzman is a Queer Chicana born in the East Bay to Mexican Immigrants. After high school, Daniela was unclear about her career and decided to attend Contra Costa College, where she discovered her passion for Psychology. This inspired her to pursue her B.A. in Psychology, and later her Masters in Marriage, Family, and Child Counseling from San Francisco State University (SFSU). During her time in the Masters program, she had the opportunity to cultivate her counseling skills as a Bilingual Mental Health Intern at the Wellness Center at Berkeley City College (BCC). After a year of focusing on mental health, Daniela decided to continue her journey at BCC by shifting to the role of Counselor. Her hopes are to continue serving the community by acting as a guiding source for those on their academic journeys. Her personal and professional goals are fueled by her passion to break generational cycles of trauma, decolonize her lens, heal, and lean into love and empathy to aid those around her.
