“Dr. Garrido gave me a level of empathy and understanding that I had not yet experienced in my therapy sessions to date. He clearly understood what I was saying and when I had trouble evaluating my own feelings, rather than trying to explain how I felt, it felt like he was guiding me along to find how I felt myself. I really enjoyed my time with him and will be returning to him for more sessions!”

More information on payments and coverage
Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.

I really hate to write negative reviews, but here I am. My partner and I were disappointed with our session. It didn’t feel like we were heard and the things we were asking for were not even addressed.
I also did not realize that Grow Therapy was a venture capital “medical provider.” That’s on me. I will not be going to any other practitioners under that banner. Felt like we were being pushed into scheduling regular sessions just so we kept spending.

Dr. Garrido was very friendly and fostered a calm, welcoming atmosphere during my appointment. He asked great leading questions to understand my situation, and he quickly assessed my current state. Dr. Garrido is obviously very smart, but is even more humble and a great listener. I highly recommend meeting with him!

While only an intake, I did have very positive impressions of Mr. Garrido as a compassionate therapist, and am looking forward to continuing to work with him.

My partner and I had a virtual appointment and it was great. Dr Garrido was patient, listened, absorbed and provided appropriate insight and advice. First appointments are always awkward, and nothing happens overnight… but we’re looking forward to this experience with Dr Garrido. I’d recommend this doctor to my loved ones.
