Luz came with a shovel and started digging! She came to work! My traumas are trembling in fear right now poor things. She is amazing and just who I needed to help me dissect my issues, get to the root and heal. We're not anywhere done, but I'm happy to have help now. I'm not alone fighting my demons.

I’ve had two sessions with Luz so far and I feel so seen and understood. She doesn’t judge me or make me feel bad. She provides guidance and support with the upmost empathy. I love that I can connect with her through my culture too as we switch back and forth from English and Spanish during our sessions. That makes me feel closer to her and more at ease.

Luz is expert at helping to seek out the cause of issues. She is caring and compassionate and wants to see her clients heal and navigate life successfully. Highly recommend.

Luz has been great. In the past, I’ve tried therapy but didn’t stick with it because I didn’t think my therapists were a good match for me. But I feel differently with Luz. I look forward to talking with her every week. It’s been 4 months, and I can tell she is making a difference for me. She is doing a great job, even on days when I have trouble opening up. I would recommend Luz to others.

You are lucky to get paired up with Luz. She is kind, supportive and genuinely listens to me. This is my first time in therapy and she has made it such a positive experience. Just knowing I have her as my therapist brings me comfort. I’m confident she will guide me through struggles and I’m amazed at what I’ve learned in only a few sessions. I am so grateful for Luz and BetterHelp!
