George is awesome, he puts words to feelings and ideas I’m just not able to articulate. He’s incredibly intelligent and thoughtful, and gives you new ways of examining your feelings. He’s not scared to address difficult and intimate issues, and he does so in a way that does not make you feel embarrassed or ashamed. Highly recommend.

I really was always extremely skeptical about virtual therapy, i was trying it off the recommendation of my boss. When I signed up I was matched with George. I was very anxious to meet yet another therapist after many failed attempts to find one that I vibed with. But George has been nothing but patient and kind to me. He lets me have my space and say what I have to say, and doesn’t make me feel judged or rushed about what I’m feeling or trying to work through. But also isn’t afraid to give his professional opinion in a polite and respectful manner. He’s insightful and does a good job keeping in touch with me if I need a question answered, or if I’m having a bad day and need to vent, or even if I miss a session or go MIA for a bit he checks up on me to make sure I’m okay. He really has been the best therapist I have had since I started going to therapy. Thank you George!

George is very respectful and attentive when listening to your story. He helps invoke thoughtful conversation into the root cause of my mental injuries in a structured way while remaining cognizant of the pace of my healing journey. I am a young Asian American in my late 20s unpacking many different repressed trauma cases and was initially wary of seeing a therapist that would not understand my culture, but George manages to be respectful of what he doesn’t know while still providing a guiding hand in navigating my mental injuries. I would recommend George to anyone.

George is a wonderful professional and I was grateful to work with him. It was only after several months of therapy that I realized George was a wheelchair user. When you realize the person you are talking to has overcome so much in their own life, it further deepens and highlights the advice they give, to say the least. I admire George's humility and empathy, and his many years of expertise.
