“George is a great therapist. He is an excellent listener, and also has a skill for reflecting your thoughts and emotions back in a way that feels like he’s truly listening. He is also vety thoughtful in responses to my regular messages/voice notes. <br /> <br /> I would highly recommend him.”

“Thank you George!”

“George has been very helpful, he has given me a lot of insight and guidance in my time of rebuilding and healing.”

“George has been extremely responsive and helpful getting me to focus on issues & working through them step by step.”

“George is a great therapist, offering sound advice, not just always telling you what you want to hear. That is the mark of true wisdom and counseling, someone who speaks truth and grace.”

“George has been an invaluable support to me and gently helped me navigate a lot of complex issues over the 3 years I worked with him. I highly recommend him.”

“G. Vega is the very best of me 🩷”

“He gives me the trust that he genuinely cares about me and my well being not just wanting to talk and listen about my problems but helps finds solutions and growth in self for me. He doesn’t work with you to just go through the motions but overcome challenges you face. I would recommend Mr.Vega to anyone looking to do better in themselves”

“Very kind and thoughtful when I have a problem or question he gives me different ways to help solve it and I really appreciate that and he’s an amazing listener”

“George is a compassionate and wise therapist!”

“I love how well George listens and asks good questions to learn more so he can genuinely help you!”

“George is easy to talk to, and goes above and beyond to communicate with me both in and out of the sessions. He is a great listener, and helps me process my thoughts in a safe and healthy way. Highly recommend.”

“I enjoy the sessions. <br /> The conversations could sometimes be a bit more lively.. but I also understand that it is not the therapists job to tell me what to do.. but rather help me find the way myself”

“George is well experienced and responds in a timely manner.”

“George has fundamentally changed my life and over the course of the year of therapy, I’ve gone from having consistent conflicts in my relationship that were mainly attributed to my childhood trauma and insecurities to having the most loving relationship where I’ve learned so much about myself and how to let go of things that no longer serve me. <br /> <br /> It’s been a transformational experience and I simply would not be in the place I’m in today without George’s help and support. He listened with empathy, challenges core belief systems and helps you be accountable along the way. My life is forever changed. Thank you so much George Vega!! :)”
