Review Summary
Positive Experience
Ron Pestana's therapy sessions have been life-changing for some clients, providing a safe and secure setting for individuals to address their issues. His intuitiveness and insight have helped clients gain a foundation for healthy change.
Negative Experience
On the other hand, some clients have had horrible experiences with The Center for Contextual Change, specifically with Peg Duros. Allegations of lying under oath in a divorce trial have been made, which has led to mistrust and concern for the well-being of men and children involved.
