Mr. Magno really listened to me and gave me appropriate feedback (solution-minded) to help me get to the root of many of my issues. He is very warm, open-minded. and has a good sense of humor too. Thank you Mr. Magno!

Coming into my first session, I was very nervous and anxious as this was my first form of mental health treatment. But Ryan was a very warm presence and my anxiety was lifted after a few minutes of talking to him. He's a great therapist and he made the idea of therapy less anxiety inducing for me
