Hi have tried therapy several times and always felt like I was going because I had to go. After a couple of weeks to a couple of months I would stop going because I didn't feel like I was getting anything out of it, the therapist didn't understand me or wasn't very helpful. I think I have developed a dependency on Armando - kidding :) I look forward to our sessions and find it hard to go a full week without one. He hears me, asks digging deeper questions, is thought provoking, and supportive. I'm looking forward to continuing my healing and self improvement journey with him.

About online counseling

- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Always a pleasure
For a long time I needed help, I was new to therapy and I honestly still am. Sadly I was only able to afford a single month. With that 1 month though Armando helped me out greatly and I truly appreciate the kindness and assistance he offered me. I truly do wish I had the funds to keep seeking his guidance in a troubling time in my life where I need more help than ever. But I will not forget the help he gave me in the short time I've been seeing him and getting his guidance. Thank you very much Armando Grijalva, I will take all the help you gave into moving forward with my life.
Very good therapist and very smart too! Definitely make sure to reach out to him if you’re having any personal struggles
Armando has been a tremendous help to all of the difficulties and conditions I've been dealing with, and I know that all of what I've learned with him will make all the difference in my life. I couldn't be more grateful.
Great service
Armando is an excellent therapist. His ability to listen and ascertain not only what is spoken but the unspoken aspects of things is truly exemplary. He asks great questions and is highly efficient in helping you see the multitudes of perspectives in any situation. I have immensely appreciated and enjoyed our sessions and the wonderful sense of humor he brings to our conversations!
Armando is a perfect fit for me and he exceeded my expectations I am greatly reaping the benefits of my sessions.
Armando is the best! He makes sure you feel listened to and comfortable, and takes the time to make sure you feel valued as well. I always feel better after our sessions!
