Working with Javiola as my therapist has been an amazing experience. She created a comfortable environment that made it easy for me to open up. Despite some scheduling issues, I highly recommend her to others. She is kind and takes the time to explain things clearly. Being bilingual allowed me to express myself fully, and Javiola truly listened to me. Her advice has been incredibly helpful. Thank you, Javiola!
