Written on Feb 15, 2022 after therapy with Cleo for 2 months on issues concerning depression, relationship issues, intimacy-related issues, anger management, career difficulties, and coping with life changes

Cleo is a great therapist. I like how she asks during each session what I want to talk about so the discussion is always on my terms. When I tell her what I am struggling with, she helps me come up with a way of coping or dealing with the situation and even offers information from studies and mindfulness techniques like DBT. She is very knowledgeable and friendly. Cleo really listens to me and understands my feelings.

Cleo has been so instrumental in improving my mental health. We have practiced skills to help calm my body and mind when I am dealing with difficult situations. She hears and sees me. She is gentle when guiding me towards better ways to respond and is always respectful of me as well as neutral and respectful with those relationships I might be struggling with. Instead of focusing on their weaknesses, she validates my feelings and then changes our focus from negative responses to - how can I respond in a healthy way. I appreciate Cleo and will miss her when this therapist/client relationship ends.

Cleo is the best therapist I've had. She approaches all of our conversations with tremendous empathy, compassion, and active listening. She is especially sensitive to the unique experiences faced by women of color, immigrants, and multi-generational families – that was not easy for me to find in my previous experiences with therapy. We started out and have maintained video-only conversations, which I really appreciated as it helped build our relationship early on. I recommend Cleo wholeheartedly.

When I can find the words to gush over Cleo's efficacy without taking up pages of space, I'll do it. She's more than with the space, but who wants to read all that? I've been a student of life / mind & heart science for about thirty years now on and off, and she's one of the best I've met.

Cleo is patient, asks just enough probing questions, and helps you to think beyond your immediate stressors.

Ms. Cleo has been a wonderful counselor. I truly appreciate her having an option for phone calls which was much better for me than messaging or live chat. She took her time with me, listened to me, respected my concerns and provided sound Christian guidance which helped me tremendously in gaining a clearer understanding and perspective of my situation. I highly recommend Ms. Cleo for anyone who needs counseling. She's is truly a godsend.
