Reviews

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Rachel Bivens. 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.

She has made me feel heard. She is helping me find the love in me where there were holes. Slowly but surely we are getting this patch work done to make me feel whole again. I am so grateful

I refer her to all my friends. She is the best therapist I’ve ever had and I’ve switched around a lot.

So glad we found Rachel to provide therapy before our wedding! Definitely a 10/10.

Before I ever met my therapist, I was sent a worksheet about things that I needed in a therapist or things that’s a therapist, and I could discuss in our sessions. And the first message I received from her, was explaining to me about myself and my external validation that I need to feel good enough. It is really great that my therapist pin points things that need help or healthy boundaries or for me to be understood. My therapist is really helping me achieve my goals, understand myself better and giving me my confidence in my power back.

Mind blowing and life altering. Rachel has helped me realize so much about myself in just a couple sessions. From the first session I have felt safe to be vulnerable . Although I’m not where I want to be in my healing journey I’m also not where I was a few weeks ago.

Being able to have Rachel as my therapist has been a wonderful experience. Her expertise in the subject matter she talks about is excellent and she tailors each therapy session in a way that is constructive. During my sessions I feel understood, uplifted, and guided towards the right direction.

Rachel is very attentive and a great listener. I was skeptical because I’ve been looking for a therapist for a while now . But Rachel is very great to talk to she really helps you analyze what you’re thinking and why.
