The session felt very genuine and I was heard. It was refreshing to have a conversation like this. Nilson is very good at understanding and being present. He is very flexible and works to see you win.

Mr. Nilson is extremely understanding, easy to talk to, and is very informative. He always has the best and most educated outlooks on any given situation. There has not been a time where he has steered me wrong. He is very helpful, and is not afraid to call things what they are. Mr. Nilson made me start liking therapy, and I’ve started looking forward to it.

Very professional, eloquent and genuine therapist! I have not felt this comfortable attending sessions in years. His understanding and approach to therapy are appreciated.

Honestly I was really skeptical with going into my first session. Men have this stigma that we can’t talk to a therapist because it isn’t manly enough. Whoever that about therapy probably needed it themselves.. I’d like thank Mr.Mejia because this has been a life altering experience for me, all the advice or talks he’s given me to help me create a better version of myself has been amazing. I wouldn’t change this for anything in the world.

Nilson is receptive, flexible, clear and caring. I've been working with him for almost a year. He reaches out when I've been out of touch, and he pulls from an impressive repertoire of literature that relates to the topics that come up. He is fun to talk to and helps build you up.

Came in when I was going through a very rough and confusing time in my life. I’ll be completely honest in saying that I almost cancelled my appointment the night before because I didn’t know what to expect. Since the first minute of meeting Nilson I felt very comfortable and I was able to open up 100% completely about what was bothering me. I am very grateful to have someone like him to be honest with me and help position my mind and thoughts in a way that I can succeed and keep moving forward. I don’t even consider him my therapist anymore he is more like an older brother to me!!

Nilson provides a safe space and no judgement to talk through whatever is on your mind and helps you form your thoughts and ideas on how to think about questions to ask yourself when you are really lost in the emotions you are feeling. Nilson has been patient with me as I work on my fallbacks and growth forward, while being supportive.

It was a great experience, this man has helped me deal with almost every issue I’ve mentioned in his office. The visits have truly changed my out look on the world and made me feel better to be living in it. He is incredibly professional, understanding, and thorough in his analysis of my mental state and makes me feel welcomed. The wait time is minimal and he often calls and texts me In order to make sure I’m on my way. I highly recommend him for most people, hope he can be of service to them.

Nilson has been such an amazing support and sounding board as a therapist. He respects his patients and brings a breath of fresh air to the conversation. I’ve been working with Nilson for over 8 months now, and my life has changed for the better with the help of his guidance and the way he challenges old patterns of thought/behavior. With the combination of working with him, and DOING THE WORK outside of our sessions, I’ve transformed the way I approach challenges and have been able to stay more present in my life. THANK YOU NILSON!!!
