Leonel is a wonderful therapist in so many ways. He has helped me through one of the hardest times in my life. He helped me during a time of loss, depression, and an abusive relationship. Leonel also helped me identify my anxiety that I wasn't even sure was there. I have trauma from my childhood that he has helped me work through. He is consistent, reliable and makes himself available to help. I would highly recommend him to anyone needing help in those areas I mentioned.

Leonel is an absolutely amazing Therapist! The first time I tried BetterHelp, I will be honest...it didn't help, but I think I wasn't a proper match with that Therapist.
When I started working with Leonel, I noticed an immediate difference in his style. He was engaged in the conversation, he gave feedback and even assigned homework. It took me some time to truly open up, but Leonel has never judged me, always supported me and has truly been a difference maker in my life.
I came into these sessions thinking I was a monster, someone to be shunned and thrown in a hole to live the rest of my days. But Leonel changed my perspective, helped me see the beauty in myself, he guided me to finding ways of expressing myself and he helped me lift a great weight off my shoulders.
The gateway to self destruction is wide, and the path it leads you through is so very easy to follow if you let yourself...and I realize I still have a very long way to go to where I know I will be self sustaining and self loving, but Leonel has guided me to finding the correct path.
It brings tears to my eyes just thinking of the ways this man has helped me...and I fear he will never fully understand the magnitude of my gratefulness. If you suffer from PTSD, Stress & Anxiety, Family Conflicts, Anger or Depression, this is the man you want to talk to as he and I have touched every one of these subjects.
His thoughtfulness, attentiveness, knowledge and willingness to truly help his clients are beyond measure.
Leonel saved my life...I mean that from the bottom of my heart.

I’ve had two sessions so far with Leonel and this whole experience has definitely exceeded my expectations. What I like about him is he gives me real practical tools to use in life for the issues I’m having. But he allows me to come to the solution through asking intelligent questions. He’s a great listener, knows how to direct and lead the conversation. Very happy!

I've been working with Leonel now for about 4 months and the experience has been wonderful. Leonel makes you feel heard and brings personal and professional experience to the table. I was skeptical going in, as I prefer to solve problems on my own. While working with Leonel, I've been able to work through past traumas and self doubt which I didn't think would ever be possible. I though I was "stuck" for life. Obviously you get out what you put in and I've put a lot of work into the time we've been together, but you can't do it alone and Leonel is great at what he does.

So far so great! Three sessions thus far and no intention of stopping from my end.

I think my loved ones are vicariously feeling his calming presence too...
