These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Marianne Costales-Roman. 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.
Written on Oct 22, 2024 after therapy with Marianne for 2 weeks on issues concerning relationship
Marianne brings a wealth of experience to her sessions which shows in the way she listens, understands and supports her clients. I especially like how she can use humour to bring levity to a tense situation & how she creates an open environment to share. Marianne also incorporates a variety of therapy styles which I like & she understands how our past impacts our present. Highly recommend working with her, she is very good at what she does and cares about her clients wellbeing & success.

Marianne Is The Best
Written on Aug 01, 2024 after therapy with Marianne for 4 months on issues concerning relationship
Marianne listens carefully and provides wise advice. This has got to be hard because of all the emotion and conflicting perspectives flying around in couples therapy. She always manages to see what's true but doesn't "take" sides.

Marianne was extremely fair in her responses for me and my husband. I never felt like anything was one-sided and we were given tools and explanations for effective communication. My husband and I came to therapy preemptively and we're so glad that we tried it out and got paired with Marianne.

She's honestly great. Marianne has a very calming presence that helps put you at ease and feel comfortable sharing what's going on. She works well managing conflict and scheduling. If it made sense for me to keep seeing a therapist, it would be her.
