Carlos Cavazos, LPCC, LPC

Carlos and I are a great match. Carlos is so positive and respectful. Carlos asks simple, potent questions that really change the way I view myself and my relationships. Carlos gives great feedback and solution based therapy. Unlike previous therapists, I feel like I’m making so much headway and really changing my life for the better. I couldn’t ask for a better therapist!

Carlos has been very helpful to me in the short time I've been speaking with them, every time we talk I get insightful advice and it really feels like they hear what I'm saying. Having a counsellor who is familiar with my experience as an LGBTQ+ person has been incredible as well.

I have worked with Carlos for 3 years since 2017. He is the first therapist I’ve had that I really click with. He understands where I am at in my life, and is able to help me see parts of my difficult situations that allow me to move past them. I have really been able to grow into myself, become more comfortable and confident with myself, and express myself more openly since working with Carlos.

Carlos is a kind, compassionate, friendly person who has made me feel comfortable from the start. He’s a great listener and offers thoughtful, sound advice. He challenges me to grow and question my thoughts and habits. He has been my therapist for almost 2 years and I have grown so much as a result!

Carlos has really helped me a lot. From helping me sort through some heavy traumas to just reminding me that I'm okay and doing well - I haven't been this confident and self aware in years!

He will help you to set short and long term goals, listening to any ranting and raving you need to do and is generally just a nice person to talk with.

Also - check out his YouTube channel, his videos are a winning combo of interesting and entertaining!

I definitely love working with Carlos. It feels like I was talking with a really fun friend, who's very understanding and empathetic, and at the same time, offers really great advice/suggestions to your problem. He also made me realized that I have more qualities than I ever give credit to myself for. Thanks for everything!

I really like the style of the help. Messages are sent in a timely manner, and replies are always non-judgmental and understanding.

I came to Pride Counselling and to Carlos six months with issues on understanding myself as a gay man, my masculinity, and anger management.

Over the six months, Carlos has helped me work through each session one by one in a methodic and supportive manner.

Carlos speaks to me as a person, a gay man and as an athlete. He understands me and has helped me to understand that so much in our lives is intertwined: as we work one issue, we subsequently work on many at the same time.

I've been impressed with how Carlos has been very responsive to my needs and offered me various ways to participate in therapy. This has ranged from long and intense messaging through short-notice phone calls to video sessions.

If you are after a counsellor who can support you with any of the following, then from my own personal experience I cannot recommend Carlos enough:

- Relationship issues
- Anger management and stres
- Sports psychology

Above all, what I appreciate about Carlos is that I feel like I can tell him anything and he never ever judges me. This has meant that I've been able to open to Carlos and really work through my inner most concerns, safely and securely. This perhaps the key reason why I've made so much progress in such a short period of time.

Sensitive and responsive. Great counselor.

Carlos gets to the point. Is it always comfortable (for me) to think about and seek answers to the difficult questions - hell no! [NOT saying Carlos is making me feel uncomfortable - NOT AT ALL!] Is it necessary, and more importantly...is it working? Hell yes! He is patient, encouraging and just a nice human being who I feel absolutely comfortable with. Thank you, Carlos.

Carlos is a good listener. I feel totally comfortable with him. He helps me work through my issues in the best way to see results. Love him.

I have only had two sessions with Carlos but I have gotten so much just out of two sessions than I ever imagined. He is not only very knowledgeable and has really great ideas for ways to accomplish a healthier relationship, but also doesn’t allow me to get in my own way. He’s sharp, funny, and I feel I can tell him anything and there’s zero judgment. He makes you feel so comfortable and I look forward to each session with him. I’m very confident that I have found the right counselor for what I need. He’s multi-faceted in his experience and that shows with the suggestions and concepts he asks me to try with my partner. Can’t wait till our next session.

Carlos, is an amazing therapist! He goes deeper into understanding what’s really going on and he gives the best advice. He makes you think a little bit which is also a good thing. He truly tries to understand and you can tell he really cares. We love him!
