Amando is great! I have spoken to therapists before, but I have never felt as comfortable and heard as I have with him. I would highly recommend!

Always dedicated to his patients/clients whatever you want to call them. Always responds in a timely manner and shows the utmost respect and professionalism when addressing the key issues, I have unloaded paragraphs on him and he’s right with me the whole way, never a need to double explain and for that I will always stick with him

We are only two phone sessions in . But I have zero complaints so far. Work sheets mirror many of the things of journaled about solo. AJ does a really good job helping me work with on my outlook.
Having a listening ear is a good look
