Saludos, my name is Gerardo. Whatever the reason(s) may be that you sought help, I am glad that you are here now. I can understand how seeking therapy services can be scary and confusing - believe me, I’ve been there before. Funny thing is, I decided to become a therapist after meeting a mental health counselor who impacted my life for the better.
