He’s legitimately helped me see through to an issue in my life which I was at a loss to tackle. He’s very forward and is able to hone in on the actual issues occurring inside someone’s life. I could not recommend him more.

He is direct, knowledgeable, and tries to understand what I'm saying.

I had one therapist and then I switched to doctor GIAN SARABIA and he was great he cared about me. He was very sensitive. I really never had a male therapist, but he was very caring that made me feel very comfortable I highly recommend.

Gian has encouraged me to work through many issues. He has encouraged me and challenged me in a way that is kind but professional at the same time. Every session has had me both encouraged and challenged. I’ve never thought any session was a waste of time. I absolutely do recommend Gian for anyone looking for a great therapist. I’m very thankful for the encouragement and help.

He is great. Gives amazing advice and has really calmed me down and made me into a better human being. He makes me think differently and sometimes challenges me to change for the better.
