I appreciate Dr. Lobo's insights. He is good at asking questions and helping me to find answers myself. He sends a summary of the appointment which is a good tool. I tend to forget important points made during the live appointment. Having the summary is very useful.

Written on Feb 29, 2024 after therapy with Douglass for 2 years and 11 months on issues concerning relationship issues, family conflicts, and parenting issues

Dr. Lobo is an amazing person and excellent therapist. I have had the pleasure to connect with Dr. Lobo, a couple of times in my life. He has helped identified possible challenges, solutions, options and most important respect my thoughts and self. I would recommend Doc to anyone who seeks for a person who understands and asses the situation from a non-bias place.

Douglass is consistent, attentive and able to deal with manifestations of trauma without judging. He is calm and personable. He has and is helping me both with current life changes as well as past trauma and I feel I have an adult I can speak to without worrying that they won’t understand or criticise. Grateful for his input and attention to routines too.

Things in life are much easier when I talk with him, it has been 9 months of therapy. Every time I make big changes in my life I am able to be courageous because I know I can talk about whatever challenge I am going through. Challenges are more manageable when I am in therapy.

Dr. Lobo is extremely good at therapeutic communication, and helping facilitate communication between couples. He has been helpful at giving us suggestions of better ways to communicate our feelings, even when things get difficult. I don’t know where it would be without him, but I am very glad we found him!

Written on Apr 18, 2023 after therapy with Douglass for 1 year and 9 months on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, relationship issues, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related issues, eating disorders, sleeping disorders, and coaching

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.

Dr. Lobo has been wonderful during my entire experience with teen counseling. He and I cover a wide range of topics for discussion and while he is not part of the lgbtq+ community, he actively engages in helpful conversation and support with lgbtq+ related issues. I am very happy we were paired up together and I am excited to keep working with him in the future.

I am happy with our therapist. He listens carefully to what we have to say, and suggests solutions that are fairly simple to integrate to day to day life. He takes time to write down a brief summary of each sessions (the essentials), and it has been really helping both myself and my ADHD partner to stay on track with what we want to work on/ talk about during the week. I am looking forward to more sessions with Dr Lobo!

Written on Dec 13, 2021 after therapy with Douglass for 3 weeks on issues concerning stress, anxiety, self esteem, relationship issues, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, grief, addictions, compassion fatigue, and lgbt

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.

Written on Apr 23, 2021 after therapy with Douglass for 2 weeks on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, sleeping disorders, self esteem, and bipolar disorder

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.
