Osvaldo has been a wonderful therapist who has gotten to know me over the past few months and knows what to focus on that are my biggest struggles. He is great at giving examples of situations and giving me advice on things to work on. I've seen at least 10+ therapists in my life and I feel good knowing that he is a "real person." I feel like he actually understands me, and not just in a clinical way, but can understand how I feel, which is hard to find in a therapist. We have moved from working on my general anxiety to working on my OCD and phobias. I have been successful in going down on my anxiety medication in the past few months that I've been taking since I was a teenager. Highly recommend him!
