MELISSA PARAMO MFT - MELISSA PARAMO THERAPY REVIEWS
I am extremely grateful to Melissa for everything she has done for me. She really helped me through a very difficult time in my life. She is an amazing human being, who is very passionate about the work she does in helping others. She truly has a heart of gold. I have felt extremely comfortable speaking with her since the very beginning because she creates a safe and nurturing environment at every session. She has helped me reflect, learn and grow through my trying journey. My experience with her has been incredibly positive.
I've been seeing Melissa for Family and Personal therapy and have always come out with a great and positive feeling. When talking through issues i felt compassion and a genuine concern from her. Even when i stopped going for a while she would occasionally reach out and check up on me, I have had other therapists and she is by far the best one i've had the please of talking to. I would highly recommend her to anyone
Melissa was referred to me through a close friend of mine. I am so grateful she recommend her because she is such an incredible person. She creates a safe environment where you can speak freely. She has guided me and helped me get through rough patches in my life. One thing I truly appreciate is that she is empathetic and understands the hardships one may have, which makes it so easy to express your concerns. I am truly gratefully to have met her.

PATRICK CLEVELAND, MA, LMFT - DAYBREAK COUNSELING CENTER REVIEWS
Patrick has been such an integral part of my evolution over the past 5+ years. Knowing he’s there when I most need a professional listener who is a continuous student of the human experience, is a gift. When a challenge/experience arrives in my life, I get to face it knowing I can call on him if I want to. It matters. The knowledge that there is a therapist I have built trust with provides a freedom to face the unknown on my own, without being alone. In a perfect world, everyone would have a therapist. I had no idea how much my ability to work through challenges would improve, just from having someone to talk through the big ones with. Patrick in particular has a deep understanding of the ways our minds can respond to life, and provides that insight without the detached, clinical vibe so many therapists seem to approach patients with. It’s something truly special that he brings to the table. Finding a therapist you vibe with is not a simple task. Having one is a gift. You are a gift, Patrick. Thank you.
Patrick is a great, down to earth counselor/therapist. He listens and gives you enough insight to do "the work". I'm on a good, mentally healthy path and will continue to see him as life's challenges arises. It does wonders just talking to a neutral person about your issues - there no judgement, just help. If you need insight, to vent, support, etc., please do not hesitate to seek help. it is not a weakness to need support. If we don't take care of ourselves, we cannot take care of our loved ones.
Patrick is amazing. He focuses on the whole person and approached our family with heart-centered therapy that created a foundation of strength and courage for us all. His therapy is empowering and we felt rejuvenated, strong, and more aware after seeing him. He has a fantastic way of getting to the root of the problem and challenges you to rise above with love and support all the way. Highly recommend.

JEFFREY H. SALINAS, MS, LMFT - CALIFORNIA PRACTITIONERS NETWORK REVIEWS
I have been seeing Jeffrey for almost 3 years, both by myself and also with my husband. I felt very resistant to give therapy a try after not so great experiences many years ago. But meeting with Jeffery has been truly life changing for me. He has helped me work through anxiety and depression and helped me understand why these pop up at different times in your life. Lots of self work, but in an encouraging way. My husband and I also go in together at times to work on communication and the ups and downs that come with marriage. Jeffery has given us so many tools we use on a daily basis to keep our relationship strong. I am so grateful we found Jeffery, he is a truly caring and helpful soul!
My partner and I saw Jeffrey Salinas for about a year or more. Our relationship was crumbling and we did not have any tools to fix what was broken. My partner and I went to different therapists together, saw therapists on our own and things never improved. One of my partners therapists even called me a 'B word' during one of their sessions. When we met Jeffrey, we were finally given the appropriate tools we needed to communicate with each other. He was so helpful and on the nose with everything. I really don't think we would still be together if we hadn't been referred to him. We are both so so grateful, he will be our go-to therapist in the future. Currently, we are trying to walk on our own two feet and its going so well.
Jeffrey Salinas is a fantastic therapist and marriage counselor. My husband and I were experiencing a rocky patch not too long ago and finally decided to give counseling with Jeff a try-- I'm so glad we did! Sessions with him made an immediate difference. He gave us assignments and taught us strategies to communicate better and deal with conflict more effectively. He is understanding and sympathetic, while also being very honest and straightforward, which is really valuable. My marriage is much better now, but I still see Jeff because this experience has helped me grow a lot and I want to keep working through some of my own stuff. I've learned that it can take time to find the right therapist, but once you do, it makes a world of difference. If you're looking for help or need someone to talk to, give Jeff a try, he's terrific!
