02 · In Reynaldo's own words

What Reynaldo says about the work

Reproduced in full and unedited - not summarised, not tightened, not rewritten in a house voice.

I'm a therapist dedicated to supporting individuals through life's most challenging moments. I work with clients navigating depression, anxiety, stress, trauma, ADHD, and addiction, drawing on evidence-based approaches tailored to your unique needs.

My practice centers on helping people explore deeper issues like isolation, shame, guilt, and attachment patterns, as well as life transitions including divorce, grief, and questions about purpose and identity. I'm experienced in supporting clients with panic disorder, OCD, sexual concerns, relationship dynamics, and trauma recovery. I also work with men's issues, caregiver stress, financial challenges, and the complexities of family relationships.

I bring a client-centered, affirming approach to therapy. I'm committed to creating a space where you feel seen, respected, and supported-regardless of your background, identity, or beliefs. I honor the full spectrum of human experience, including sexuality and alternative relationship structures, and I'm here to meet you without judgment.

My goal is to help you build insight, resilience, and meaningful change at your own pace. I believe in walking alongside you with genuine care and curiosity as you navigate your healing journey. Thank you for taking this courageous step toward growth.

03 · What happens next

From this page to a first session

Reynaldo practises through BetterHelp, so the route in is BetterHelp's. This is that sequence, written by Maker Therapy from the platform's published process - not a description of Reynaldo's own practice, and not a promise about how quickly anything happens.

1. A questionnaire, not a booking form

   BetterHelp opens with a set of questions about what you are dealing with, what you want from therapy, and any preferences on the therapist. You are not booking Reynaldo at this point.

2. Naming Reynaldo specifically

   BetterHelp matches algorithmically by default, so asking for Reynaldo is a step you have to take. There is a field for requesting a specific therapist during sign-up, and you can switch afterwards from your account. Starting from a link on this page does not by itself assign you to Reynaldo.

3. If the caseload is full

   You will be offered somebody else rather than put on a waitlist. Worth knowing, because it is easy to assume a match is the person you asked for.

4. The first conversation

   A first session is typically history and orientation: what brought you, what has been tried, what you want to be different. It is also where the questions in the next section belong.

5. If the fit is wrong

   Changing therapist on BetterHelp does not need a reason. A first session that does not click is common and is not a verdict on therapy. That option existing is the main practical difference between a platform and a private practice.

04 · Before you commit

3 questions worth asking Reynaldo

Built from what Reynaldo actually lists, so they are answerable and specific rather than generic. Maker Therapy's, not Reynaldo's - Reynaldo has not seen them and is under no obligation to answer any of them.

• “How do you decide when someone is ready to work on a traumatic memory itself?”

  Pacing is the biggest safety question in trauma work. A clear, unhurried answer here matters more than any credential.

• “How do you handle the gap between sessions if something comes up?”

  On BetterHelp this varies a great deal by therapist. Better to know the rhythm now than to discover it on a bad week.

• “You offer sessions in English and Spanish. Does the work change depending on which we use?”

  People often reach different material in a first language than in a second. Worth naming before you choose.

06 · Provenance

Where every line on this page came from

Reynaldo's name, credential, state, subjects, approaches and biography are read from BetterHelp's therapist roster, which Maker Therapy re-reads once a day; this page reflects the reading taken on 7 Nov 2026. The licence number and NPI are cross-checked against public registers.

The plain-English method descriptions, the first-session walkthrough and the questions are written by Maker Therapy and labelled as such wherever they appear.

Maker Therapy is not BetterHelp, does not take bookings, and has not met Reynaldo. There are no reviews or ratings on this page because we have no way to verify one. If you start therapy through a link here, we may be paid a commission - it does not change your price and it does not affect who appears here or in what order.
