Report
This review is long overdue. We did couple's therapy with Jaime and I have to say it was one of the best things we have done for our relationship. I only wish we could have done it sooner (like 20 years prior) to avoid a lot of misunderstanding and hurt. Jaime took the time to understand and explained the dynamics of our relationship and gave us tools to move forward. He also suggested books that opened up my eyes to other aspects of my psychological well being. It was one of the most valuable things we have done for our relationship. I feel like he imparted on us long lasting skills to deal
