I just started working with Jose Santiago and I have been pleased with our sessions. I’m very comfortable speaking with him which has allowed me to open up more about my feeling and share past trauma that no one have heard before. I look forwards to you sessions. I highly recommend him. Thanks

Jose is very helpful. Even when I could not schedule an appointment he checked in to make sure things are going well and if I need anything.

Jose has been extremely patient with me and makes an effort to listen to me and understand my concerns. He not only listens to the concerns but also provides coping up mechanisms!
I’d recommend going to him for therapy to sort your life better!
