Tonia is very good at making me feel "normal". She has a great laugh and uses it to calm me. I trust her and like her very much.

For a person as myself that never agreed or wanted to try therapy she had made it really easy and comforting to open up and actually get what I need off of my chest with ease and no pressure at all she is an amazing person

I had been thinking about starting therapy for a long time and honestly went back and forth about it, but I am so thankful that I finally took the step. Tonia is truly phenomenal. She is kind, understanding, and genuinely amazing. From the very first session, I felt safe, comfortable, and heard. She is an incredible active listener and offers advice that feels thoughtful, real, and meaningful. I felt a connection with her almost instantly, which made opening up feel natural and easy. Even though it’s only been one session, I already feel excited and hopeful about continuing this journey with her.

Ms. Guzman is awesome! Great listener and provides timely input, helping me to see things in the in the best prospectively. At times I wanted to give up, but couldn’t. She helped me to see me! I could not have made it this far without her. She truly is a God send.
