Ray Estefania is THE person I would recommend for patients and families seeking help for treatment of addiction. He is a consummate professional, extremely knowledgeable about treatment modalities and facilities available throughout the country, a deeply insightful and caring therapist and a wonderful human being. His involvement has been instrumental in helping our child on the path to long-term sobriety.
Ray was my drug treatment therapist almost 8 years ago. His counseling helped me to stay sober ever since. He is one of the most trustworthy and effective psychotherapists I've ever encountered. Ray can instill hope and motivation in the most hopeless cases. I'll always respect and admire the professional that helped me when I needed it the most.
I have gotten a great deal from my interaction with Ray. He is focused with each client but with a tailored approach applicable to each situation. He is flexible but with a consistency of treatment. He is experienced in the field(s) of addiction and provides a wealth of knowledge to the patient. I would definitely recommend him.
Ray understands treatment, both from the side of his client's and their families. His diagnostic skills and ability to motivate treatment resistant young people are un matched. I would recommend a family member in need to Ray in an instant.
Raymond Estefania is an accomplished professional who provides exemplary services to his clients. I am happy to refer to him when the situation is right. I highly recommend him.
