Great listener and gives solid advice. Couldn't recommend enough. He is helping me through the hardest stuff I've ever dealt with in my life

Chose him based off his profile info and what I am specifically looking for. I knew following our initial session that we were going to be a good fit. Made reoccurring weekly sessions after that. Every session I go in not knowing what to talk about and every session flies by. He listens, and responds in a way that works for me. I enjoy my sessions and always leave feeling confident, and ready to tackle the next week. I’m very pleased with Dr Vega.

Working with George has been a genuinely grounding and helpful experience. From our first session, he created a comfortable, judgment-free space where I felt safe opening up. He asks thoughtful questions that encourage me to reflect deeply and see different perspectives on my challenges, without ever forcing solutions or pushing an agenda. The practical exercises and tools he shares have made a real difference in helping me feel more in control of my daily life. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a supportive, insightful therapist.

George is a great therapist. He is an excellent listener, and also has a skill for reflecting your thoughts and emotions back in a way that feels like he’s truly listening. He is also vety thoughtful in responses to my regular messages/voice notes.

I would highly recommend him.
