Dr. Acosta is an amazing therapist in her ability to understand my concerns, both about my relationship issues and my own personal issues. Her personality has proven to be an excellelant match for me as she presents things in a very clear light without trying to soften the sometimes harsh realities that I want to hear.

Dr. Acosta has been very helpful listened when I needed to talk and express myself and gave me some feedback that I needed. I would recommend her to anybody that is looking for and hearing ear and also some balanced advice on how to deal with it.

Dr Acosta is a God sent. She understands my complex situation sometimes even before I finish explaining all the details. All her practical advise has already yielded results and had me avoid making emotional decisions that I would later regret. Thank you!
