“I have been a pt with Jose for over 2 years and he's been tremendous helping me navigate the ups and down of life. I highly recommend Jose. ”

“I was in a very dark place when I first met with Jose and didn’t really think therapy would help much. Dealing with high anxiety, stress & depression was a regular day for me. I can say now after our sessions that my life has changed for the better and no longer have those feelings of dread in my day to day. Even quitting my bad recreational habits which contributed to these feelings. Couldn’t recommend Jose enough to anyone looking to better their mental health. 10/10”

Our therapy sessions with Jose have been transformative for my wife and me. Through his guidance, we’ve learned to communicate more effectively, leading to a deeper understanding and renewed connection in our relationship. The tools and strategies we’ve acquired have not only resolved longstanding issues but also strengthened our bond, fostering a more harmonious and loving partnership.

I recently experienced two major life transitions at the same time: a cross-country relocation and retirement. This put a great deal of stress on me, individually, and on my marriage as well. My wife and I reached out to Jose for counseling, and he was extremely helpful. Besides our Zoom sessions together, he gave us materials to read on our own that helped us deal with the stress. He was always a thoughtful listener and helped point us in the right direction without being overly prescriptive. I would highly recommend Jose for individual therapy or joint counseling for couples.

Jose is a thoroughly compassionate and caring provider. He has helped me with becoming less anxious and depressed, along with offering self care practices that have enhanced my self esteem.

I first saw Jose at a tough time when I was experiencing extreme depression. Jose quickly gave me methods and strategies to help my depression that I still use today. He was always available between appointments when I needed it and was always concerned about what was going on in my life. I highly recommend Jose.

We recently just finished our couples therapy sessions with Jose. I personally have been with many therapists throughout my journey, but really appreciated how intentional, caring, and thoughtful Jose was for not only me but also my partner. Throughout our sessions together, he really catered to our needs, and made himself flexible to help us. I really would recommend Jose to anyone, he is amazing!

Jose helped us to work through a very difficult time in our lives. He was able to take a complex situation and help us work on the various component parts. We owe him major thanks for helping to save our relationship at a very critical moment in our relationship. Very much recommend him for others trying to navigate tough situations that are largely outside of their realm of control.

Our first appointment with Jose was great. He is very transparent, a great listener, and a clear communicator. He walked us through how his therapy style works, and we are excited to continue future sessions with him.

Jose is a great listener and friendly therapist. I always felt comfortable discussing my life with him and he gave me a feeling of genuine interest. He has been hugely helpful to me.

I am immensely grateful for the kindness, patience and understanding exhibited by my Jose. He has gone above and beyond to help me. He created a safe space where I could openly discuss my anxiety, stress, and the challenges of moving to a new country. His empathetic approach, combined with his expertise, allowed me to develop effective coping mechanisms and gain a stronger sense of self-awareness. I highly recommend his services to anyone in search of a compassionate and transformative therapeutic experience.

Jose is a miracle worker!!!!! He is extremely insightful and a great listener. He takes a holistic approach to cure every bad feeling you have inside. He takes every issue you present to him very seriously, while also adding humor and his great personality to the session. Do not think twice about seeing Jose, a therapist who is extremely dedicated to helping his clients feel better.

Jose is a very patient and thoughtful therapist. I worked with him for a year and a half. His calm, assured approach helped me undo long-term habits I'd wanted to shed for years and develop a personalized framework to develop new, healthier ones. I highly recommend him as a therapist and he is a wonderful person.

Saw Jose for couples therapy. He was very patient and listened actively. Over the course of a year he helped improve communication and overall dynamics. He was also responsive to our requests for active steps we could take to improve and provided us with concrete plans to put in place.
highly recommend!

Jose helped me a lot throughout some difficult times and a major life transition. He’s a really good listener and helped me rebuild my self esteem.

I do not say this lightly when I state that my life would not have taken the path of growth if it had not been for Jose Mestre. I recommend him to anyone struggling with anxiety, depression, lack of self love and compassion, feeling trapped in a toxic or dangerous domestic environment, and or heartaches of any kind. No therapist has understood and connected with me the way he has. I made progress in just months and still continue sessions despite not necessarily needing therapy the way I used to because his guidance still keeps me on track for further growth and self love. I am forever grateful.

Jose was the right therapy professional at one of the most difficult times in my life after losing my mother. He is highly educated and empathetic, with a great ability to relate to something like a grieving process.

He was great but the borderline insulting text messages I received after cutting our visit short due to a panic attack were offputting. while I take an extent of accountability for abruptly ending our visit and never getting back to him, to be texted one or two weeks later, being called immature and having my childhood trauma thrown in my face as to why I can't form "meaningful relationships", is really unprofessional. I told him that w/ effort I tried to create them w/ppl that didn't seem to want them, & for a large period of my life until about 3 years ago I started struggling w/ this. expressing to him that this was a newer problem for me, I was insulted by such assumptions. I wonder if he thought insulting me would make me go back to him or respond. he clearly learned nothing about me in the first visit and while he seems to be an excellent doctor and again maybe I didn't handle this the best way, there's no reason to come after me weeks after our session.

Jose Mestre is a very kind hearted, intelligent, well-meaning, professional and very fair social worker/psychologist. Having his many years of experience, he was able to help me for over three years concur many trying times and severe issues to make me functional optimally. I highly recommend him for services needed and offered.

I’ve been having sessions with Jose for over a year now, and I feel far more alleviated after every session. The sessions with him are very fruitful as he’s very open minded, responsive, and caring for his clients. I appreciate his flexibility when it comes to scheduling appointments and his relaxed persona makes him easier to talk to. He’s helped me and members of my family when we needed them the most. His door is always open and I recommend him for almost anyone especially if you’re a young adolescent or well into your adulthood.

Jose has been a tremendous help on my path of self growth. With his guidance, I always walked away from our sessions with a better understanding and perspective about myself. Thank you.

My visits were a moment of emotional growth and development. Jose makes you think and evaluate situations by guiding you in a very soft way to get your own answers.

Jose was very helpful for our couple's therapy. Very kind, compassionate and understanding; helping us communicate better and understand each other's points of view. We were ready to divorce.
Now 2 years later, we are still together.
Definitely would recommend his services.

I originally was referred to Jose Mestre from my insurance provider due to his listed experience working with those who have ADHD as well as vulnerable populations (being youth, queer, a person of color, suffering from severe trauma). My prior therapist despite having claimed to work with these same groups did not approach the issues of my life with the same compassion and care needed when addressing mental health for vulnerable communities.
I initially was worried I would not be able to connect with Jose as much as I wished to due to the lack of shared backgrounds, but I have been working with Jose for more than a year now. His educational background regarding his LCSW having a social justice lens and his own materialized experiences sums up to the manner of which he approaches healing, whether about severe trauma to conflicts within life. In essence, he proved me wrong, and I could not be more glad he did.
He has also heavily assisted in navigating psychiatric services and dismantling barriers to getting the proper medical treatment I have fought for years to access. His referrals to psychiatric evaluators and psychiatrists within his personal network all share the common arsenal Jose has, practicing inclusivity and seeking cultural nuances in their methods of treatment.
Jose is also heavily accommodating regarding the method of conducting his therapy sessions, using accessible video clients for patients, which in turn makes it accessible to reach out to him at any moment of crisis – this is considered a normal practice, however it is much appreciated.
I have had my fair share of severe unprecedented crises, and every time without fail he has tended to me day or night. I am extremely grateful for Jose for helping me heal. His compassion dealing with my sexual trauma was especially noteworthy of his character.
There are many options for LCSWs, let alone mental health providers that have the same sociocultural background as yourself as a patient – but seeking providers that can deeply understand the nuances of your background, your pain attached to your identity, and what you are culturally is extremely difficult. Jose Mestre's unique background as a therapist, a breath-work specialist, and conducting social work is one to take note of. I without a shred of doubt would heavily recommend him for consideration to potential patients who are part of a vulnerable minority.

I could not recommend Jose enough! He helped me through an extremely challenging time in my life and with his help I was able to overcome those obstacles beyond what I thought possible. I almost consider it a blessing having to seek help and meet Jose, because the techniques and guidance I have received have made me significantly stronger. I no longer consider my anxiety a weakness, but a strength that just presents unique challenges that I need to work with. This was all possible through the constant guidance and lessons I received while working with Jose. If you're even questioning whether or not you need help, or if you're struggling with anxiety, stress, or depression please reach out to Jose. I promise he'll be able to help, he sure did in my life!

Jose approached our first meeting with a genuine sense of empathy, patience and humor. He was encouraging and understanding and his career experience will be invaluable for our work together. I am looking forward to future sessions with him.
