Testimonials

“As soon as we met Ali we knew he was the right therapist for us. Not only because he speaks flawless Spanish and English, which was important to us as a bilingual couple, but because within five minutes of meeting him we were able to realize how kind and compassionate he is. Ali is an accomplished therapist: smart, patient, professional, and extremely intuitive, but also articulate, generous, and empathetic. Working with him in therapy has improved communication in our marriage and is helping us break free of old negative patterns that create suffering in our relationship. It is also clear to us that you genuinely care about the well-being of your patients and that you consistently create a safe space for us to share our deepest vulnerabilities and help us reconnect in a constructive way. We are very grateful to have your guide. He has a gift for what he does. "

“From the beginning of our process in the EFT Therapy Model we have seen benefit; We have learned to communicate better, to take better care of our relationship and we have been learning to resolve issues and problems that have arisen in our relationship since its inception and that were never treated correctly and were there affecting without our realizing it. Today we are aware of them and we can talk about them without hurting ourselves and we are in the process to overcome them completely. This therapy has been very enriching and positive for us as a couple, and also individually, since we have understood and got to know our partner better, ourselves and especially our relationship; what is allowing us to establish a better communication, a greater understanding and above all a stronger and healthier emotional intimacy.
