Therapy can be an intimidating thing to start, but Pedro has made the experience comfortable and supportive so that talking things through feels safe and natural. The level of care and concern he treats each session with is what anyone would hope for in someone they confide in and seek advice from.

I've only seen Pedro a couple of times, but he has proven in this time that he is attentive, trustworthy, and experienced. His regular recaps of our meeting by text reassure me that I am being listened to, and his sessions always feel to be at my pace making it easy to open up. I cab already tell Pedro is among the best therapists I've ever had.

My experience with Pedro has been insightful and has allowed me to find balance in my chaos and confusion about the circumstances that I am faced with and feeling in control amongst all of it. He listens and hears me. He responds with experience and compassion. I have come to trust him immensely through our conversations and video chats. I give him an 5 star rating.

Pedro has been a fantastic counsellor - he's attentive and responsive, and extremely professional. He's helped me think through issues without me feeling overwhelmed or defeated. It's a gradual process but I feel really happy with how I can genuinely see things have been improving steadily over time. :)

Very personable, prepared, educated, and articulate. Also, Pedro is empathic, yet a realist. I sought out Pedro for his past experience as a probation/parole officer— and his Life-coaching skills. I heartily recommend Pedro!

Pedro is so great at listening and providing relevant and helpful feedback that is constructive and thought provoking. I have had many therapists before, and never have I felt so comfortable discussing any and all issues, even very personal issues. I would highly recommend Pedro to anyone looking for a caring, safe and knowledgeable therapist.

I live abroad in a culture that is different from my own background. I have struggled to find help in the country where I live in to start resolving my problems. Already from the first session on discussions with Pedro have been a significant help for me. I feel like I can express myself with being judged and Pedro has a way of asking the right questions to trigger my thinking to flow the right direction. Our sessions have been through chat and already after a few chats I feel like I am making progress and I am able to process my thoughts a lot better than a few months ago.

Pedro is very supportive and I’d like to change the one neutral answer to strongly agree as I forgot that he encourage’s me to communicate via this chat site and send him an email whenever I need to. He is an excellent support therapist!!

I have been working with Pedro for about three months now, and he's really helped me achieve emotional stability and helps me understand how my brain is reacting to current events based on my accumulated life experience, and offers me tools to help manage and regulate my thoughts and emotions. I really appreciate his patience and when he challenges me to consider other ways of looking at things.
