Apenas tenemos nuestras dos sesiones, Pero puedo decir que honestamente me ha gustado do mucho la manera que nos ayuda a entendernos, No solo eso pero nos a puesto tareas y a ensenado maneras como tratar de comunicarnos y eso jamas lo habíamos practicado con otro Therapeuta. Siempre solo era escucharnos y tratar de entendernos, y creo que esta vez nos ayuda a buscar solución.

I appreciate Sergio's unconditional attention to my stories. Sometimes it takes me a while to get to the point, but he's able to find themes, suggestions - what I don't see in myself and give me something to take away.
