\n\t\t\t\t\t\tTeodoro is a patient, gentle and compassionate therapist. We worked together for two years, during which time I became aware of and responsible for my agency and boundaries in a way that wasn't accessible before therapy.\n\nI was in active addiction (and keen to stay that way!) when I started sessions and Teodoro never judged or challenged this, but he was my biggest cheerleader when I decided to get sober.\n\nI'm grateful for his expertise and support over the past two years and would recommend him to others in a heartbeat.\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\"I loved working with Teodoro. My weekly sessions with him helped me tremendously during very difficult and challenging times. Setting aside time for therapy with him helped me to find the necessary distance to start observing my life, my choices and seeing the \"why\" of many of my behaviours, thoughts and emotions. I would recommend Teodoro to anyone who is looking to understand themselves and also anyone who needs help with a challenge\/issue in their life. I came to Teodoro when I needed help with a specific issue in my life and working with him helped me to overcome my problems, learn from them and transform my attitude from victim to one who takes responsibility for her choices.\"\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
