I have found success with Graciela, she has allowed me the space to take the time I need to realign my life. I feel as though I have been able to create the correct shifts necessary to continue forward and blaze a life that works for me, in the best mindset possible.

My time of Graciela Rios has been outstanding. Before starting therapy with her I had lots of thoughts and ideas that felt scattered around in an abyss, together, I believe we’ve worked towards change for me in a way that fits ME. She has a mantra that really fits and has a way of helping me feel as though every day is an accomplishment now, slowly but surely my mind is turning around, hence my life – day by day is evolving. Graciela is a professional but also very human and approachable, I would recommend her to anyone.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space. Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Graciela takes her time and allows me the space to just have space to speak, to think, to be sad, to be angry, to learn, to change. So far our time together has been very fruitful for me on a personal level. I recommend Graciela to anyone looking for an open and safe space to share and evolve.

I was not sure of asking for help in a Professional manner but glad I did it's helping alot on my personal life right now!

Graciela is patient, and willing to work with my individual needs. I have less than common needs, and the ways in which I am accommodated for them with the counseling provided has allowed me a space that is very important for someone like me. I am thankful to have a supportive human who listens and supports the healthy efforts I make. I feel supported even when I fail because I am reminded of who I am, and what I want to be in life. I value my counseling sessions as much as my medication management, and the positive growth I am capable of with my needs accommodated. I am still learning my needs myself. I’ve used this app for one year to the day. Both counselors I have worked with have served me very well. My first counselor walked with me through the darkest part of my life to attaining my official diagnosis with a neuropsychologist, and Graciela is supporting me through finding the strength of my disability and mental health resilience. I highly recommend Graciela to anyone in my position in life.
