“Alphonso gives you time to speak and to feel heard. He always ends sessions with I'm a phone or text away and he means it! When I was having a bad day and he made time to speak with me made me feel better. I feel supported by him and he is giving me tools to live my life without constant worry. I highly recommend him to anyone who is looking for a therapist that treats you like a human and not an number!!!”
