Highly recommend marriage counseling from Luis. My husband and i have been blessed to receive counseling from him and every end session we feel so much relief and encouraged. 10/10 read more

If anyone is considering this therapist, I would strongly suggest looking elsewhere. During a very difficult time in my marriage, my husband and I attended couples therapy with him, and the experience was disappointing and unprofessional. He spoke negatively about me directly to my partner and made unnecessary, inappropriate comments (including remarks about my emotions that felt dismissive rather than constructive). We only attended two sessions because the therapy was not helpful, supportive, or conducive to personal or relational growth. Instead of fostering understanding or healing, the sessions left me feeling judged and undermined. Overall, this was not a positive or productive experience. read more

I just want to say that Luis is helping my marriage tremendously. My wife and I have been struggling for years and the first session with Luis was a game changer. We are very grateful for him and we will continue to grow with the help of Luis. read more

My wife and I both highly recommend, Luis and his service. He was recommended by friends and WOW, we have just been so blessed by his God given wisdom and counsel. The way he presents what a marriage should be, made my wife and I feel like teammates and not enemies. He had such a with us where we could not point the finger at one another. We left his office feeling closer than ever and plan to continue our counseling sessions with him. I would recommend him to ANYONE looking to save/restore their marriage. read more

My husband and I have been in marriage counseling for almost four years, and working with Luis at Marriage Matters has been one of the best decisions we've ever made. From the very beginning, Luis never came in with an agenda or told us what we "should" do. There was never pressure to stay together, separate, or choose a particular outcome. Instead, he met us exactly where we were and walked alongside us with patience, wisdom, and genuine care. What makes Marriage Matters stand out is the focus on tools, guidance, and self-discovery. Luis helped us learn how to communicate better, understand ourselves more deeply, and approach challenges with clarity and intention. It wasn't about fixing us or labeling our marriage--it was about empowering us to find our own answers and make decisions that aligned with who we are and where we are in life. If you're on the fence about counseling, hesitant to ask for help, or unsure what direction your relationship should take, I can't recommend Marriage Matters enough... book a session. Book a 15-30min phone call to see if it's something that can help. Sometimes all it takes is a safe, supportive space and a skilled guide to gain a new perspective. No matter where your journey leads--whether that's moving forward together or choosing a different path--this kind of support helps you get there with confidence, insight, and respect for yourself and your relationship. read more

A Lifeline When We Needed It Most - Luis Saved Our Marriage After nearly giving up on my marriage, I can now say--with full confidence--that we are stronger and more connected than ever before. And it all began with one simple, almost unbelievable offer from Luis: "Just give me a few sessions." Skeptical but desperate, I thought--how much difference could a few sessions really make? The answer: everything. Luis helped my husband and me see one another in a completely different light. For the first time, we stepped out of our own perspectives and truly saw each other--not as adversaries, but as two people shaped by life, childhood wounds, and unmet needs. It was a humbling, healing experience. I realized I had been so focused on what I needed that I failed to recognize the humanity, pain, and strength in my partner. What made the experience even more powerful--and frankly, refreshing--was that God was welcomed into the conversation. Luis didn't just give us tools; he reminded us of the sacredness of our marriage covenant. Bringing faith into the process helped anchor us in something greater than ourselves, and gave us hope beyond what we could manufacture on our own. It wasn't about religion--it was about truth, grace, and the courage to rebuild on a foundation that lasts. Through his guidance, we stopped trying to change each other. We began listening--really listening--with respect, empathy, and love. Conversations that once felt exhausting or combative became moments of genuine connection. Today, we communicate openly and without judgment. We laugh more. We enjoy each other's company again. It honestly feels like we're newlyweds--but this time with the wisdom and depth that only comes from walking through the fire together. My husband now feels safe to express what's bothering him instead of shutting down or walking away. And I've created a home--a true home--that feels warm, welcoming, and safe for him to return to every day. After two broken marriages, I finally understand what it means to choose well and communicate with maturity, grace, and love. If your marriage feels like it's unraveling--or if you've quietly lost hope--Luis may be the lifeline you didn't know you needed. He was for us. Don't wait until it's too late. Sometimes, all it takes is a few hours to change everything. read more

My husband and I have been married for 14 years, but we never had the right tools to navigate our marriage. We reached a breaking point and were just one step away from divorce when, by the grace of God, we were led to Luis. Words cannot express how grateful we are that God brought Luis into our lives. From our very first session, we felt a sense of hope and renewal. Luis provided us with the guidance, support, and wisdom we desperately needed. We are now thriving as a couple, enjoying date nights, and reconnecting in ways we never thought possible. If you're struggling in your marriage, I wholeheartedly recommend Luis. I would shout from the mountaintops that divorce is not the only option--you just need a compassionate and caring marriage counselor like Luis. On behalf of my husband and me, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts for saving our family. God bless you, Luis! read more

Very unprofessional man , he turned my fiance and I against each other rather than help, also kept starring at my breast which made me feel very uncomfortable. read more

My wife and I started marriage counseling with Luis in September 2024. Luis' caring approach to counseling during our 1st session made us want to come back for more. Luis is relatable, genuine, compassionate and funny. He provides us with a safe and healthy environment for us to be "Really Honest" with each other. The techniques acquired in our sessions have put us on a path to HEALING! Luis is an excellent therapist. He is committed to seeing marriages, relationships and individuals thrive! read more

This was an amazing life changing, experience. Not only did I learn how to forgive I was able To help recover my family.

We were referred by a close friend. I'm so grateful that we found Marriage Matters. After years of therapy and getting no results and feeling helpless...we met Luis. It's a totally different experience than therapy sessions where you just go to vent. I highly recommend Marriage Matters. The tools that I have now are priceless. read more

I went to see luis solo the first time and went back with my wife the second time. I initiated the appt. for me and my wife to get tools to help us better our relationship. He basically suggested my wife should leave me??? He really didnt even get to hear my side. No thank you. He does spend most of his time talking about his own family and drinking coffee not really giving attention to ours. Will not be going back for sure! P.S. Even his espresso was a bit harsh read more

We started seeing Luis in 2020. We were SO toxic to each other! Since then he has given us a plethora of tools and got us out of toxicity and now we are working towards marriage. I love his style of coaching. He knows how to communicate to each person to get through to them. It's amazing. 110% recommend. read more

Unresponsive. Was really hoping to get an appointment since me and my hubby are in serious need of help with our marriage but I'll take my search elsewhere where they actually care to help. read more

After 33 years of marriage, my husband and I were at a point of desperation because our relationship was toxic. I was ready to call it quits. We heard great things about Marriage Matters and had to check it out! After several sessions with Luis, we were able to learn and understand ourselves so that we could fully love each other. Thank you Luis for loving us thru the most challenging times of our lives. I look forward to celebrating more anniversaries with my husband, the love of my life! read more

Luis is a marriage saver! Hubby and I decided to visit him after hitting some rough patches in our marriage. I prefer in-person sessions and Luis was able to accommodate us. The drive from Rancho Cucamonga to the OC was worth it. Luis really digs deep and makes you think. Hubby and I have had 2 sessions with him so far and will be returning. Make sure to take a notebook to take notes and also to do the homework that Luis suggests. read more

Unfortunately the first session was long and I paid a lot to sit and fight back and forth with my ex for the entire time. The recommendation was to read a book he had in his bookshelf. My ex is a veteran and has PTSD and substance abuse. There was domestic violence as well. I do not recommend a life coach to anyone with a similar situation as ours. A situation like this needs a psychologist along with military support for the abuser, if that person is military and maybe even a psychotherapist. I wish he could've stopped us in the middle of going back and forth and made a more professional recommendation. This was a stepping stone to finding what was really needed. We are not together and I got the help to get out via therapy with a psychologist and empowerment groups. Got a restraining order and am safe. Life coach can be good for some but for matters like this, I would have to disagree. But I'm grateful for the experience at that session. read more

Louis has been instrumental in helping our marriage. From being available late at night to returning text messages, while he is on vacation. Louis takes a no-nonsense approach to saving marriages and families. My family would not be together without Louis. The other side of Marriage Matters, Compass Trainings, has literally transformed my life. I was hopeless and without direction. After completing Louis' 3 Compass Trainings, I have more control and vision for my life than I ever had or could have imagined. Thank you, Louis, for being my friend, coach and mentor. RT read more

There aren't enough words to encapsulate just how life-changing this experience was for me and my family. Luis is the most insightful person I've ever met and my perspective on life has done a complete 180. From the books he recommends to his fun-loving personality, Luis has altered everything I thought I knew about life and myself and opened my eyes to what could be. He is reliable, consistent, wise and is always available for calls and texts. If he is busy, he immediately communicates his schedule and makes a plan to speak when he is free. This experience has been LIFE-CHANGING. Did I mention that already?! I recommend Marriage Matters to everyone I know because no one should miss out on all the tools Luis has to teach you. Being a part of this has improved my relationships with my family, friends, husband and most of all my children. If you're looking for peace, looking for true happiness, look no further than Luis at Marriage Matters. read more

I was honestly impressed with the immediate response and specially how quick and easy I was able to book my initial therapy session.

This review is long overdue. Luis have been an absolute blessing! I called him out of nowhere and he was able to accommodate a session almost immediately. Luis provided insight and tools to help my husband and I to communicate better. We're forever grateful Luis. Thank you. read more

I literally debated driving here or to the courthouse to pick up a divorce packet before I walked in to a session with Luis. My husband and I had spent ridiculous amounts of money on counselors in the past, and I was over throwing money away to a counselor who could care less, on a marriage that was all but over. One session with Luis changed that. He actually TEACHES you new skills on how to build trust that is gone, how to fight and be CLOSER afterward, and how to LOVE someone and also love yourself. If you are willing to work to save your marriage, you've come to the right place. It's never too late to change the direction you're going if you're willing to put in the work... read more

375 down the drain. I really thought that we could get somewhere in the first session being that it was 3 hours but it did not happen. He provided mostly personal stories and went off on quite a few tangents and would forget as to why he was making certain points. We walked out of there confused and not sure we got any tools to get us on the right track. He tells us he's available at any time to text when when we have questions or need help, but that wasn't the case. Nice guy but Maybe this just wasn't a good match for us. read more

"When your only tool is a hammer, the world looks like a nail." I have known coach Luis for two years now, and he has been a significant part of my transformation in life. I went through his Bootcamp, Extreme, and graduated from Legacy Program. He is someone who is FULLY COMMITTED and ALL IN when it comes to the success of his students. Coach Luis has helped fiancee and I, through a rough patch in our relationship, and he was there every step of the way. We felt lost, stuck, and didn't know where to go. After a few sessions, we started to do the work, and our relationship improved significantly. He was also available and ready to assist whenever we needed him. Thank you coach Luis! read more

I can't even start by saying how life changing Luis has been in my life and with my marriage. It has changed our family for the better. This is definitely no therapy season where it leaves you feeling even more frustrated at the end of a session and that's why his initial session is always 2-3 hours it makes sense. And the right tools will be given to you but of course it's up to you to put the work and apply them. If you are ready and want life changing results then Luis is your man. read more

When we found Coach Luis, my husband and I were legally separated, with no hope for reconciliation, whatsoever. During the course of our separation, my husband, initially, sought Luis' coaching and immediately started to show changes in his way of being, as a result. He had been applying tools he picked up from Luis. We could finally have conversations without raising our voices, and found enjoyment in spending time together, always making sure the others needs were met. Although, I saw the changes and was very happy with the results, I was still hesitant to Luis' counseling. But after being given the ultimatum to go (for the sake of us being in alignment) I finally agreed, not realizing that would be the biggest blessing to not only my relationship with my husband, but the catalyst to mending other relationships as well, including with our children and parents. I am happy to share that after 3 years of working with Luis, we just celebrated our 15 year wedding anniversary! We are ONE, again! Our family was ONE, again. I learned how to forgive, healthy communication, how to listen and most importantly, how to LOVE, unconditionally. Whether single/dating, engaged, married or divorced, happy where you are, on the fence, or feeling defeated, I highly recommend Luis' counseling/coaching. He truly cares and has demonstrated it through his advocacy for couples and families. read more

Although I have not yet reached the part of my life that involves marriage, Coach Luis has had an EXTREMELY tremendous impact on my life as well as the relationships i hold with others. Whether it be under the topic of romance, family, or friends, my interpersonal relationships with my loved ones skyrocketed as a result of meeting/receiving coaching from Luis. He is not only a mentor but a lifelong dear friend, someone who lives to support others and, as cliché as it may sound, make an enormous difference in this world. When I met Coach Luis, I was not aware of the potential that was possible for my relationships; i was oblivious to the fact that i was settling for surface-level, mediocre connections with the people who meant the most to me in my life (i.e. parents, siblings, close friends). However, Luis did not spoon-feed me the answers i was seeking. That is the beauty of Luis' coaching style- results are only reached when YOU put in the work to make real change. What he did for my own personal journey was challenge me to recognize the possibility for more as well as realize that the only thing stopping me from living my life EXACTLY how i wanted it was...me. I have known Luis for 3 years now, and I can confidently say that he is a remarkable man, father, husband, and difference maker. No words can properly describe the amount of appreciation I have for Coach Luis and what he's done for me and what he does for the people he crosses paths with! read more

My bf & I can't wait use the skills Luis taught us & our next therapy sessions! After the first session with Luis I felt an instant relief between my partner & I, I felt like there was so much tension between us & now that we are working on it I'm starting to feel much better. I can't wait to use the skills he taught us & apply it to our relationship & he read me to a T! Thanks Luis!! read more

Changing the way you see things the way you react isn't easy. But having a coach right there for you through the whole process made it easy. I highly recommend couples coaching/marriage counseling/leadership programs to help get you where you want to be especially with your significant other. I met Luis almost a year ago when my fiance and I we're going through a big decision of working through our relationship or making the decision of co-parenting our at the time 8 month belly baby. I didn't think it was going to work out but Luis saw something in both of us that he knew it would. He gave us a lot of understanding of where we came from and knowing how to work with other people. He gave us tools to use to help keep us grounded when we get into it. Human nation, you fall back into your routine and what you're used to. So when we get into again, he reminds us about the tools we need to utilize and it has saved us tremendously! There were times I had no idea what to do but there Luis, a call away to help guide us through and calm the storm. almost a year later and we still see and talk to Luis! High recommend for anyone in a relationship and esp for those who want growth and to strengthen your relationship read more

My husband '& I have been to a few other marriage counselors but Luis is by far the best one. Not only does he share his own personal experiences, but he also makes you feel like you are not alone. We are human. My husband & I are doing so much better already. We will forever return!! read more

This is not your average marriage counseling approach. My husband and I had tried another MFT and weren't satisfied with his methods. Last week we came to the office in dire need of hope for our marriage. Carlos gave us both a chance to get our main problems off of our chests than began with a lesson on how we, as individuals, are wired. He made us understand why we carried all these feeling towards each other and help us acknowledge our issues and take accountability. It's only our first time there, but we both left grateful for taking a chance with marriage counseling again. Can't wait for our next appointment. read more

Luis's approach to counseling is not like ordinary counselors. It is very real, relevant, relatable, and definitely refreshing! He has a very practical approach to his counseling and takes his time to get to know you and your partner and really dig into the roots of the issues so he can address them and provide the tools needed to overcome them! 10/10 highly recommend him! read more

My wife and I have received counseling before But never like this. Our problems have been highly self-destructive in the past; in fact, we even had a counselor tell us that we should go our separate ways and just split already! It felt like we paid hundreds of dollars to argue with each other and gained nothing but superstitial forgiveness. Marriage Matters Is a program that My wife and I found. They create a safe place to talk about "REAL" deep wounds that WE have caused to each other and bring into the relationship from our past. It is a God-sent program that allows My wife and I to look within ourselves to understand each other's perspectives healthily. We have realized that marriage truly does matter, as well as the significant implications it would have on our children for generations to come. In addition, we can now communicate with each other beyond superstitial conversations. Because of this program, we have overcome things like alcoholism and even domestic violence. Believe me when I say it's not an easy topic for me to admit. Luis's practical and effective communication skills allow us to move forward in our marriage. However, Luis's "tough love" approach may be harsh at times. But, I know that I can go into that meeting room and come out a better man... All in all, I can't recommend marriage matters enough. If I could, I'd give it a 100-star rating. I absolutely would. read more

Luis has not only been the catalyst for my personal growth and development, but he's helped me tremendously in my relationship. His coaching is insightful, personal, and wise.
