I've really taken a lot from my sessions with Manuel. He is easy to talk to, follows the discussion where I need it to go, and asks insightful questions. This is my first time seeking therapy, so thank you!

Manuel has been extremely helpful for me, we have only ever texted but even with just that he has helped me make many improvements to my life. He always has some kind of advice no matter how bad a situation is. Some problems in life are unavoidable and I feel he helps me deal with them better than I would’ve before.
