Sergio is amazing, he has helped me talk through so many problems and anxieties that I have. I feel like he has enabled me to be more thoughtful in my actions and I know I am in a better place than when I started therapy with Sergio. Thank you so much!

Sergio really is a great therapist and the best I've worked with. He is very experienced and well-rounded in his expertise. I feel like I make progress every time I have a session with him and get closer to happiness and serenity. He is a great listener and also tells me what I need to hear. Thank you, Sergio!

Sergio is a complete professional and is dedicated to helping his patients. I have noticed how intently he listens to my concerns and he remembers a lot of the details even after several sessions. I recommend and have recommended Sergio as a therapist.
