About me
The teenage years are filled with what seems like insurmountable issues related to relationships, self esteem, anxiety, family dynamics and academic challenges just to name a few. It is beyond important to have a safe space to get support and guidance in a non judgmental and confidential atmosphere. Talking to friends or family just simply isn't enough sometimes although those support systems are critically important as well. As a Licensed Clinical Social worker in the state of New Jersey, I have had the pleasure of working with teens for many years and in diverse settings (foster care, residential, schools and in home). I understand the multitude of pressures teens today face. Let's work together to address whatever obstacles you feel you are currently facing that get in the way of your happiness and inner peace. Remember you are not alone and things will get better.

Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Doreen Guddemi. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with Teen Counseling might be different.
Doreen had been an amazing help to myself and my daughter. I look forward to speaking with her even if there aren't any pressing things that I need assistance with. She is FANTASTIC!!
Doreen is a great therapist and has been a tremendous part of my life this past year! I can’t thank god and everything for directing me to therapy and me landing Doreen as a therapist! I really feel better in life getting out all my problems and sadness and not holding it all in anymore. Thank you!
Wonderful ! She understands what my partner and I need. Listens intently. She tries to implement different techniques for us to help grow closer and stronger, and provides us opportunities to journal and complete worksheets to help solidify what we have just learned
Awesome!
I have the privilege of working with Doreen Guddemi, and I cannot speak highly enough of her professionalism and expertise.
Doreen has the ability to empathize and understand my concerns as I am working through a life transition. She provides a nonjudgmental space for me to express myself. I feel genuinely heard and understood during our sessions. Doreen shows remarkable empathy and compassion and has provided the valuable perspective that has helped me make positive changes in my life. I'm grateful for the wonderful impact Doreen has had on my life. :-)
I instantly felt at ease with Doreen. I am 100% comfortable talking to her even about things that are embarrassing. She is fantastic!!
Doreen has a great way of listening to my thoughts and ideas and complimenting them with her own views. She allows me to freely express myself without judgement and then allows me to be more open with my self. I have enjoyed working with her tremendously!
Doreen is amazing. Her expertise is helpful in every aspect of life and my decision making. She is kind, caring, and very thoughtful. I would recommend her to anyone in my life because their lives would be better after speaking with her. I’m very thankful to have met Doreen and feel lucky to be working with her.
Before coming to teencounseling.com I had some negative experiences and was hesitent to try again with online therapy. Luckily, I was persuaded by a family member to give it another try with Doawhilet teencounseling.com. From the very start, I felt comfortable and at ease with Doreen as if I had known her for awhile . What she said, what she didn't say, how she said it, when she said it, created a professional yet personal environment that made me feel safe and relaxed allowing me to easily put my trust in her. A level of trust shared between therapist and patient that enabled me to share my deepest thoughts and feelings needed to work towards a better, healthier and happy me. I am a work in progress, progress that Dorren helped me to make possible, when I didn't think I could. Team Dorreen and Me with all the possibilities.
Doreen has been a great therapist for what I was going through. Thanks to my hard work from her guidance I have been truly a better person to myself and those I care for. Doreen has always responded in a timely and professional manner.
I’ve been speaking with Doreen for over a year now and her actionable advice and thoughtful insights have been life-changing. Words cannot express how grateful I am for her support!
Doreen was not only understanding and helpful, but she was sincere. It is so difficult to find a therapist who genuinely cares and actively listens to what you want to discuss. Right from the beginning, Doreen made it clear that although we set goals in the beginning of the program, it was my choice on what we discussed and how the sessions went. If I was unavailable or needed to reschedule, she was more than accommodating. She was insightful and overall kind. I've learned things about myself that I've never known before and I've been in therapy for most of my life. She is truly amazing.
Doreen was very easy to talk to and helped us immensely.
I already had a very positive outlook on therapy before, but Doreen completely changed my viewpoint on the application and usage of therapy just in the short 1st month I had sessions with her, which I can't be more thankful for. Her strength based approach is one that helped me realize that certain things I do already are either underutilized or underappreciated by myself, and by focusing on them or fleshing it out, I can simply enrich my relationships and draw boundaries with valid reasons given to those around me. She is an amazing listener, extremely patient with any hiccups or schedule change requests, and truly is a gem of a person that doesn't see everything as a hammer that needs to be nailed with her solution, but rather a way of life that needs to be adjusted or understood better. Highly recommend her to anyone new in therapy or wanting to appreciate their situation and personal relationships, hope to continue using her services in the future!
Doreen gives validation to my problems and struggles. She believes in me to be hopeful, while also accepting the bad times and feeling vulnerable. She makes her clients well-rounded and works to help me see issues from different perspectives other than my own! Doreen reminds me of my strengths as a human being and I cannot thank her enough for being an active listener! The subscription is worth it!!
She is very attentive, pay attention and remember what my concerns are
Doreen has been an excellent fit for me. She meets me where I’m at and encourages me to go at my own pace while reminding me to take care of myself. I have never felt so supported in this field before like I do with Doreen.
Dooreen has been very attentive to our issues and is very good at getting us to open up to each other.. We have only just started our sessions but I am confident that Dooreen is the best help that we could have gotten.. Thank you Doreen.
Dorreen has been a very good Counselor. This is my first time and she has made me feel very comfortable. She is listens to understand, very important aspect of counselling . Her wise advice have help me to jump the hurdles I was facing and I am now on a better path. I would recommend her to anyone.
Doreen is absolutely wonderful, I look forward to talking to her every week. She seriously cares how you feel and uses her professionalism to the utmost to help you truly understand yourself.
Doreen is extreme good at the work she does and I feel lucky to have a therapeutic relationship with her. She has the perfect blend of empathy, expertise and real world practicality that makes her easy to talk to and makes me want to consider her input more than I have with others in the past. I feel so lucky to get to work with Doreen.
Doreen is very compassionate and understanding. She is knowledgeable and has a calming demeanor. She listens and asks the stimulating questions that will have you thinking deeply. She has been unbiased and very professional. I’d recommend her services to anyone needed help with relationship or personal mental health issues. I’m experiencing results from our sessions and it has only been 3 weeks . I’m very happy to have found her .
Amazing makes me full supported and cared for !
