He’s very genuine and authentic. I appreciate how he give me all the clinical terminology but then also breaks it down for me little by little to help me better understand. I feel like he’s genuinely listening but also hearing me, if that makes any sense.

I’ve had a few therapists over the years but Emmanuel is by far the best I’ve had. He's a great listener. Lots of empathy and understanding. Takes great notes and summarizes well. Also, he really pushes me, in a positive way, to go deeper. If you want a superficial therapist, he’s not the one. But if you truly want to go deeper and want to feel like you are constantly doing “the work” then I highly recommend him.

Emmanuel is a fantastic therapist! He really helped me through a difficult season with the relationships in my life. His cultural understanding, empathy, and being able to hold me accountable for how I’m showing up and thinking about a situation really helped me get through some turbulent family situations and unique experiences in my relationship. As a man (especially someone who comes from a strong cultural background) selecting Emmanuel for a therapist will be one of the best things you can do. He is highly skilled at helping you reframe your thinking, see things with a fresh lens, and brings a compassionate and wise encouragement of the things you’re doing well and opportunities for growth that you should be mindful of and he makes sure with his check-ins that you’re progressing in that area. Highly, highly recommend this therapist!

Emmanuel is intelligent, kind, and extremely thoughtful. His wisdom, processing, ad communication skills are one of a kind. I specifically sought therapy to discuss a relationship. My partner is moving long distance with me and I wanted to make sure it was the right decision. Emmanuel help me clarify my thoughts by listening, asking questions, and giving me assignments at the end of each session. He was brilliant and after 2 sessions I had confidence in my decision. I feel much happier that I have made a decision based on a thoughtful analysis which was only possible because of Emmanuel. I highly recommend him to anyone seeking therapy.
