I’ve been a client of Lou for about 6months, and see him once every 1-2weeks, and he has been phenomenal!! Lou is a great listener and asks me questions to help walk me through issues, instead of just telling me what he would do, which I appreciate. Lou is compassionate and truly cares about his clients. I can’t recommend him enough!

Luis has been great thus far. I enjoy his practical and knowledgeable approach to therapy, he not only listens, but also gives clear guidance and advice on how to deal with issues. This extended past the session itself, as he gives you exercises and tips catered to your needs.

The auto-matching to this therapist proved accurate. This therapist is conversant in areas where I personally have done much growth and development and learning. I feel I can establish a context of my challenges, my goals and I get in return listening and feedback that immediately feel like clarity and progress for my challenges.
