Some of the things my clients said about me

Excellent Therapist
Georgina has been wonderfully supportive, insightful, and caring through my time working with her. I consider her a blessing dealing with my health issues. She always comes up with new ways to help me tackle difficult issues. Whenever we communicate I learn something helpful and feel a sense of peace. Her approach is honest and refreshing.

Friend in my pocket
Georgina is so nice. She is compassionate, flexible, understanding, and patient. She listens and offers her opinion and offers unconditional support. I feel completely comfortable telling her my darkest thoughts and she offers useful suggestions. She checks in often yet gives me the space to just be when I do not have the time or energy to write. Thank you Georgina!


Georgina was very kind and empathic during my sessions. She was especially helpful regarding my father’s abandonment and my mother’s mental illness.I found our sessions very transformative. I learned that therapy is not a bad thing, something to be ashamed of. The benefits of our sessions were bigger than words can express. Georgina made me understand that I am not to blame for the abandonment by my father, Often children blame themselves for whatever problems their parents have. As adults we keep holding on to that pain and this ruins our life. You also made me realize that because I was exposed to my mother’s mental illness I had to grow up fast.

When I first met Georgina Nunez I was depressed and addicted to crack cocaine. My self-esteem was down the pits. I had many problems at my job. I am proud to say that I no longer feel that I am an ugly loser. Georgina helped me raise my self-esteem and I kicked my habit. I am now clean and sober. Georgina helped me raise my self-esteem and I kicked my habit. I am now clean and sober. Currently I have a steady job in a hospital and my life is great!

Georgina is very intuitive about how a person feels and how to best respond. I was pleased and surprised that she used her own personal experiences to help guide me through my issues.
