Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Monique Gilcrest. 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.
Monique is compassionate and easy to talk to. She has a good understanding of what I am dealing with. She is helping me figure the best ways to overcome what I am going through.
Amazing
She’s compassionate, friendly and responds quickly.
Monique is there for me! Talking to her is my most anticipated call of the week.
I’ve only had one session with her but she made me feel very comfortable. She tackles intimate issues with fidelity and she stays neutral. I respect her and I’m glad I’m working with her.
Has good insight
Nikki has been absolutely amazing so far! I find myself nodding so much throughout our sessions because she always hits the nail on the head. She knows how to identify the pain points and speaks to them in a calm and reassuring manner. I’ve only had 2 sessions with her and I’m looking forward to more. She’s open, patient and attentive and I can’t wait to see the positive changes that will come about once I start putting her advice into practice. God bless you Nikki ❤️
This has been a great counseling experience so far and I intent to continue. Ms. Gilcrest gives me the perspective in a way I can receive it and understand it, so that I can be a better spouse myself and ultimately a better me. She's helped me to see why my spouse and I come into friction often during intense or less than positive conversations, and work on methods to reduce that friction.
excellent listening skills and work habits
Ms. “Nikki” Gilcrest is a phenomenal woman of God who is patient and attentive to your concerns. She doesn’t just respond to give an answer - she stops to digest and comprehend exactly what the nature of the concern is so that she may address the root. Additionally, if you’re faith-based, she incorporates scriptures in the appropriate places that you may takeaway. Our relationship is very much established and I’m grateful to be continuing therapy under her care and attention.
I am so grateful for Monique. She has helped me navigate this season of my life better than I could on my own. She is like my pathfinder. I know the path is there but she helps me get to it. :)
Monique is kind and understanding. She is a good listener with years of experience. Highly recommend.
She is straight to the point and is a great listener.
she is on time, and sympathetic and empathetic.
Right off the bat, on our first session together I've already started to see the ways in which I can improve and work towards, Ms. Gilcrest has helped me a lot.
Ms. Gil rest is very pleasant and really easy to talk to. I felt as it she could relate to my issues and Mede sure I was completely comfortable about the issues that I needed to discuss
I am very fortunate to have found Ms. Gilcrest. She's attentive, a great listener, and offers thoughtful suggestions. Her comforting presence makes opening up less stressful. I appreciate her.
Monique is a fantastic therapist. She has a unique way of making me feel supportive while gently "holding me to the fire" when I really need an encouraging push to move forward. She doesn't let me slack on myself, and I need that kind of support. It is amazing how she can bring these two approached together, and been so insightful. She gives me space, while also nudging me not to wallow in my indecision. She is great at cutting to the chase!

She is AMAZING!
My wife is a mental health therapist and she’s too good.. Monique leveled the field beteeen us like it was nothing. She is by far the best therapist we’ve had in about 10-13 attempts at this. Don’t waste your time. She is simply the best even if you hate what you hear. Take it!
