Jose is a very good therapist. I appreciate his caring nature and his ability to communicate with me about my situation. As someone who has never sought therapy before, I felt comfortable with Jose and his insight regarding my anxiety issues.

Jose is a patient therapist who listens first and then gives his positive input on the topic or conversation! I recommend anyone who has been diagnosed or experienced any type of anxiety, depression, or other symptoms to contact Jose! The crazy thing is just speaking and having normal conversations with him you start analyzing and reflecting what the issue is and where it stems from!

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.
