As a 1st timer, going to therapy was daunting but Esmeralda was great in making me feel at ease and welcomed to open up about all my troubles.

I am on my 12th session with Esmeralda now and I have to say she has converted a therapy sceptical. I agree with the other review that she asks the right questions. I am seeing an improvement already. What she says makes total sense. Y el hecho de ser bilingüe ayuda mucho para otros bilingües, porque claro hay veces que la palabra adecuada no está siempre en inglés o español! Estoy muy contenta 😌
