I have had an incredibly hard time finding a therapist that feels real, that meets my criteria, & that I can trust. However, within five minutes of connecting to Dr. Marcel, I knew he was what I've been looking for. I really appreciate his direct approach, and his humor made it even easier to just keep talking to him. I felt heard—he wasn't just absentmindedly agreeing to make me feel better, but giving me constructive criticism in order to help me be better.

My first session with Dr Flores was great. He was able to see me on short notice, and he was engaging and didn't shy away when I wanted to jump right into an issue. He was immediately helpful.
