Written on Apr 12, 2022 after therapy with Aldo for 2 months on issues concerning stress, anxiety, relationship issues, family conflicts, grief, parenting issues, career difficulties, coping with life changes, and compassion fatigue

Aldo is a great therapist. He brings a ton of energy and humor to every session, and will give you the encouragement, support, and sometimes tough love (if necessary) that you need. He brightens every conversation, no matter how tough, with his humor and vivacious energy. He helps you assess your situation clearly, and then works to help you address the situation in a way that benefits you (whether it be adjusting your mindset, recognizing behavioral patterns, creating boundaries, etc.) I am excited for people who will get to go through their journey with Aldo on their team!

Before meeting Aldo i treated anxiety like something that i would always have and could only escape temporarily. Now i view anxiety as a symptom of a much deeper state of mind.
