I was lead to this provider because I was having a difficult time with living life, it felt like I was just existing and I could seem to find any joy out of it. However, upon the months that I have been with Ritsa I have learned so much more about my place in life and coping skills to get through each day with the grace and help of God. I am thankful that she helps me establish goals for next time and the support she gives me whenever I fall short - she encourages and aids me to get back up.

Just finished our first couples therapy session with Ritsa. She was very easy to talk to and helped us both communicate our issues, while giving feedback and ways to improve our communication. Looking forward to our next session.

She is the best therapist I ever had. She believes in me and is genuinely there for me. She encourages me to be better and always gives me goals and motivation after every session to work on going into the next one. I am extremely thankful for finding her, she is a gem!
