I have over 10 years of experience in Mental Health and Addictions Counseling and have a good understanding of the evidenced based practices that will help you address your trauma, anxiety, depression or problems with alcohol and drugs. I am qualified to guide you in your treatment and my experience has taught me that people can and do get better with help.
My therapy style is supportive and interactive. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, and rational-emotive therapy. I will tailor our dialogue and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
I believe that you hold the solution within you and are the expert of your own story. Through talk therapy you'll be able to sort out the why of the problem, while also focusing on a sustainable solution. Once again I acknowledge your resilience and courage to reach for help and I am here to support you in achieving a healthier and more fulfilling life.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions. Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

One of the best therapist on the platform!
Jorge is extremely patient. He was really interested in listening to your issues and trying to find the cause and the solution. He interacted with an open mind and without any judgement and that really help me to open up my feelings and he was definitely pointing out both my positives and my negatives and in a balanced manner, and that really gave me a good perspective of what is happening? I will definitely recommend Jorge.
Jorge has always responded to my questions and concerns. He would always provide commentary to what I would say and allow me to speak my thoughts whenever I intervene. He’s very patient but still remains determined to help me battle my addiction struggles and he provides me the right encouragement that I can take control of my personal problems
I think Jorge is one of the most important person in my life who helped me to gain perspective. His talking and technique helped me believe in myself a lot more. I would like to thank him for taking me on as his patient.
So far, Jorge has been able to allow me differing perspectives about issues I face, has been extremely motivating for ways to handle the issues beyond trying to have different perspectives, and has been instrumental in the ability to process a lot of my own emotions as of late. I'm not sure I would be where I am right now without his help, and we haven't even had very many sessions. I'd recommend Jorge to anyone who needs a true ear that has thoughtful responses, and well thought out ideas to suggest for help.
