He was not nice at all. On the initial phone call, he had so much attitude and was so rude, I cannot comprehend how he would be a good therapist or be able to compassionate.

I was hesitant at first reaching out for help. As a male I always felt that I needed to somehow magically handle any of my issues on my own. Recently my work life balance had become too much to handle. I was able to discuss with Dr. Espinoza some ways to try and handle the added stresses as well as options I can seek through work. Additionally Dr. Espinoza provided me with some worksheets to help me. Overall he helped make me aware that my mental health is just as important as my overall health. Thank you Dr. Espinoza

Dr. E is very professional but also casual. Meaning he is comfortable to talk to but can put his point across on specific topics in a clear and professional way. I am so comfortable talking with him, that I can open up and speak on anything at all with him. He is really thoughtful about allowing you to go at your own pace, and his sense of humor helps with making things feel more lighthearted. His expertise in behaviors and patterns help with understanding that it's better to seek help than continue to suffer with the continuous cycles. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone.

His indignant attitude and lack of understanding when I raised the issue over e-mail -- refusing to get on the phone with me OR insurance to hear me out -- felt unprofessional and was honestly shocking.
