Miguel did a great job at asking specific questions very quickly to determine what the underlying issues were so he could steer us in a solution based matter. He was very respectful and knowledgeable about relationships and offered great insight for us to consider moving forward.

Miguel is amazing!! He is so smart and truly listens to you and provides very clear and actionable feedback to help you grow in your journey of life. I laughed with him during our first couples session that in the past, couples therapy is my least favorite hour of my week, but I know I have to do it. Now that we switched to Miguel, I look forward to our sessions, and feel excited and happy and inspired after our sessions. Thanks for being amazing Miguel!!
