Lisa has been a nice support to me as a parent

Written on Jan 28, 2025 after therapy with Lisa for 2 months on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, grief, career difficulties, coping with life changes, and coaching

I would not hesitate to recommend Lisa to anyone. In fact, I'd tell you she's the best part of the arsenal I have in my coping and growth toolkit. She's not only extremely knowledgable but I walk away with actionable tips on how to cope and approach situations I face every single session. It's my first therapy experience and I'm so grateful I bet on myself and have such a kind, talented therapist to help me navigate through this experience we call life. I am certain that without her guidance, grace, knowledge and support I would absolutely not be where I am today in my journey. 100/10 would recommend without question.

Lisa has been a great fit for me and my individual needs. I appreciate that she can empathize with some of what I have going on as a fellow mom. She also points out my successes/wins, which I need too.

Lisa is so great. I really wanted a therapist who wouldn't just agree with and validate everything I said, and I am so happy that I can have genuine conversations with Lisa where she will share her viewpoints and productively help me move forward. I feel like she is so honest, and it's easy to talk to her, and I really appreciate all of the ways she has helped me progress and continues to help me progress.

I recently started with teencounseling.com and Lisa. Lisa has been wonderful and even though this is all very new, I feel as though I have made bounds of improvement and look forward to continuing to work with Lisa and working towards the best version of myself!

Lisa has consistently been there to listen intently, offer encouraging and positive-minded support, and humanize what can otherwise be very isolating. 10 out of 10 would recommend Lisa to anyone who wants to grow and improve their lives!

Lisa is a very nice and caring person. She truly listens to me on what I all have to say and she gives me advice and some skills which I love and that is really helping me. What I really like not only about Lisa is teencounseling.com in general when your therapist will check in on you weekly and see how you're doing. With only seeing Lisa for a couple of weeks I truly am blessed to have her, my life is feeling better just having her in my corner! She doesn't feel like a therapist, she is so easy to talk to, she is like a friend! I would recommend anyone to teencounseling.com or Lisa!!

Lisa is warm, friendly, and a very good listener. She takes what she hears and mirrors back but also adds questions, insights, and ideas for me to take into my daily life to make changes that help me.

Work with me!
