I’ve seen many therapists over the years in the pursuit of finding someone who aligns with my therapy goals. I have looked for someone who can do more than just be a supportive ear. I looked for someone who pushes me, challenges me, and calls me on my crap. Someone who helps move forward and facilitates personal evolution. Doug is great for all of those things. He also has a book recommendation for everything. That may sound daunting, but it really makes all the different throughout the week in between sessions.

This is my first time doing this type of therapy. I didn’t know what to expect and I was quite apprehensive and anxious. Especially right before I had my first live-session with Dr. Lobo. From the first five minutes speaking with him I knew he was a great match. He is very personable, the conversation was flawless. It was as if I was speaking with someone I’ve known for a while. After some time I relaxed and became comfortable speaking more openly with him and receiving therapy.
He is very knowledgeable, I really like that he has given me advice, exercises, worksheets to do and recommends books for me to read. He has helped open my eyes to my trauma and how to go about working through it. I am confident that Dr. Lobo can assist me with the therapy that I am in need of to live a better more anxiety free life. I look forward to future sessions with his expertise.

Dr. Lobo is a no bullshit kind of guy and provides clarity when things often seem vague. He's helpful, understanding and provides practical solutions to how you can be a happier and better person. Sometimes when you're in a bad place, you need someone to snap you out of it and help you see the bigger picture, help you understand where these emotions are coming from and how to tackle them. Dr. Lobo has done all of this and I couldn't recommend him enough.

Dr Lobo has been a perfect fit for what I've needed. He's guided me and helped me to make my own decisions. He's never push or steered my decisions. He's always helped me by encouraging me to try my institution to know what's right, unless it comes to getting cats, apparently that was a bad cut decision :).
Dr Lobo has be wonderful. If I didn't have to leave I wouldn't. He's been the best counselor I've ever found and I worry when I'm able to take the time to focus again. I will never get so lucky to find another like him. Thank you for all your support, kind words and most importantly your style of counseling helping me believe in me.
