My time of Graciela Rios has been outstanding. Before starting therapy with her I had lots of thoughts and ideas that felt scattered around in an abyss, together, I believe we’ve worked towards change for me in a way that fits ME. She has a mantra that really fits and has a way of helping me feel as though every day is an accomplishment now, slowly but surely my mind is turning around, hence my life – day by day is evolving. Graciela is a professional but also very human and approachable, I would recommend her to anyone.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Graciela takes her time and allows me the space to just have space to speak, to think, to be sad, to be angry, to learn, to change. So far our time together has been very fruitful for me on a personal level. I recommend Graciela to anyone looking for an open and safe space to share and evolve.
Graciela has allowed me to blossom.
I was not sure of asking for help in a Professional manner but glad I did it's helping alot on my personal life right now!
Graciela is patient, and willing to work with my individual needs. I have less than common needs, and the ways in which I am accommodated for them with the counseling provided has allowed me a space that is very important for someone like me. I am thankful to have a supportive human who listens and supports the healthy efforts I make. I feel supported even when I fail because I am reminded of who I am, and what I want to be in life. I value my counseling sessions as much as my medication management, and the positive growth I am capable of with my needs accommodated. I am still learning my needs myself. I’ve used this app for one year to the day. Both counselors I have worked with have served me very well. My first counselor walked with me through the darkest part of my life to attaining my official diagnosis with a neuropsychologist, and Graciela is supporting me through finding the strength of my disability and mental health resilience. I highly recommend Graciela to anyone in my position in life.
Licenciada Graciela is amazing, she is there for you and takes care of your mental health. She helped me to go through stressful situations. I recommend her
Graciela has been a great help. She was very helpful and understanding. She works with you to try and understand how to move forward and really understands that taking it day by day is ok !!
