Testimonials

Don't just take our word for it. Our clients have seen real results from our counseling services. Here's what some of them have to say:

"I was dealing with the loss of my mother, along with other personal issues. So, I started seeing Victor Llerena at Journey Counseling in April. He has helped me learn how to cope with and accept things that I previously couldn't. I've had other therapists, but only Victor has helped me. He is an amazing and caring person, and I thank God that I found him. He made a huge difference in my way of thinking and how I react to things. I was always in a negative frame of mind, and he has definitely helped me learn how to handle things that are out of my control. I highly recommend Victor to anyone who needs to see a therapist." - Mrs. T.R.

"My father passed in late 2020, during the pandemic. Finding a therapist was absolutely impossible. I was in deep grief and tons of stress from my family. Two years passed, and I Googled a therapist in my area. I placed the call, and I spoke with Laura, who could hear in my voice I needed to speak with someone. When I had my session with Victor, he listened with an empathetic ear. Towards the end of the session he gave me homework. This homework has become the tools that I use to help me navigate from day to day. Victor helped me rebuild from the tremendous pain of losing my father, build healthy boundaries, and learn how to better care for myself." - Mrs. K.L.

"My husband and I are very grateful to Mr. Llerena for his services. I found him online when I was looking for counseling because of the circumstances we were going through in our family. He helped us manage our feelings and focus on solving the situation. I was hesitant in the beginning, because it was our first time doing online sessions, but he made us feel at ease since the first session. He is very professional and respectful. We definitely recommend his services." - Mr. & Mrs. D.T. & M.T.
