Mr. Estefania Is an excellent supporter, his personality suits well with what I would look for in a therapist. He is incredibly understanding but also rigid. He strikes the right balance.
I would highly recommend Raymond to anyone one who seriously want to better them selves.
We are incredibly grateful for the positive impact that Ray has had on our son’s journey toward recovery. From the very first session, Ray demonstrated a deep understanding of addiction and approach to healing. My husband and I felt scared for our 23 year old son. We are an example of those families that think “this won’t happen in our family”. Well, I’m here to re-confirm that addiction truly does not discriminate. We felt uncertain and lost in a world that we didn’t fully understand.
Ray connected to our son quite easily (also by our son’s feedback) Ray didn’t just focus on the addiction itself, but also helped our son understand the underlying emotional and psychological factors that created and exacerbated his addiction. This part is so crucial. We understand that addiction is a long term process but we can’t thank Ray enough for pulling us through our son’s initial recovery stage.
As a parent, this has been the most frightening experience in our life. If you’re looking for an addiction therapist who is not only skilled but genuinely cares about their clients, we highly recommend Ray.
