For a long time I needed help, I was new to therapy and I honestly still am. Sadly I was only able to afford a single month. With that 1 month though Armando helped me out greatly and I truly appreciate the kindness and assistance he offered me. I truly do wish I had the funds to keep seeking his guidance in a troubling time in my life where I need more help than ever. But I will not forget the help he gave me in the short time I've been seeing him and getting his guidance. Thank you very much Armando Grijalva, I will take all the help you gave into moving forward with my life.

Armando is an excellent therapist. His ability to listen and ascertain not only what is spoken but the unspoken aspects of things is truly exemplary. He asks great questions and is highly efficient in helping you see the multitudes of perspectives in any situation.
I have immensely appreciated and enjoyed our sessions and the wonderful sense of humor he brings to our conversations!
