Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Robert Shackelford. 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.
Very easy to talk to. Only had 1 session but I would recommend him.
Robert is highly intelligent and demonstrates an impressive ability to quickly grasp complex concepts and articulate them with exceptional clarity. He has a pleasant and approachable demeanor, creating a comfortable and supportive environment for growth. He genuinely cares about his clients and serves as an encouraging advocate, always inspiring confidence and progress.
Robert from day, one has listened to me and given me insight that has helped me incredibly in life. I got matched with him and I would never change therapists after meeting Rob. It was a blessing to be matched with the best therapist I’ve ever had the first time around joining teen counseling. I’ve done in person counseling for my whole life and not one has advanced me or helped me like a therapist is supposed to. Rob as well as teen counseling has changed my life and I thank him for that.
Robert continues to be patient and listen to my needs and hopes. He has helped me build, understand, and maintain a framework of how my thinking works and to identify where events fall within my framework. This has given me more pause in my actions, which allows for more deliberate next steps instead of winging it like I had been.
Robert is a fantastic coach and therapist. He has a way of extracting hidden thoughts and emotions out of you. Very easy to talk to and a very talented therapist. Highly recommend.
He's awesome.
Robert is the 1st therapist I've talked to that I feel comfortable with. There's no judgement and it seems that he genuinely cares and wants to help.
Fantastic
My son liked his session which speaks volumes of Rob
Great
Incredible therapist. Anyone would be lucky to have Robert on the other end. I went through a terrible divorce with children and Robert was extremely thoughtful and attentive.
He has a most fascinating and brilliant way of choosing the words, the patterns, and the in-between-the-lines moments of my storytelling. Be they moments of genuine panic, genuine confusion, or genuine amusement, (on my end of course) he always listens to the moment and asks the questions that are meant to bring me back into the room. Something to hold onto, the examine, the weight of his words are exemplified by the humor, kindness, and personalized toolsets he offers me to shape my thoughts. Philosophically he is rich which insight and emotionally he is inquisitive, supportive, and exceptionally mindful. I am rather grateful for his practice, and so enthusiastic whenever he reflects on the inner workings of my mind.
Robert has been a pleasure to work with. He’s kind and easy to talk to. I appreciate that he helps me find the bright side of situations and I feel like he’s rooting for me to succeed. He helped me understand healthy levels of push back and that’s something I’ll remember forever. Thanks Robert!
Robert has helped me through soooo much through my journey of healing. He’s so insightful, patient, a great listener and communicator. His soul is so gentle and familiar. When he speaks, I’m quick to Want to listen to what he has to say. He has become such a safe haven for me to be myself. He challenges me in a healthy way. Overall, I wish everyone could have their healing journey with Robert. I’ve recommended teencounseling.com but especially Robert to my friends and family.
Robert has been a fantastic therapist. His structured approach to identifying patterns of behavior and use of modes to understand them has been really helpful on a daily basis in my relationships.
Mr. Shackelford is an amazing therapist. Helped my partner and I through some difficulties. I would 10/10 use him he’s worth it and will definitely revisit.
My first time working with a male therapist (which I was always nervous to do) and he’s been wonderful!!! So glad I picked him, he’s been patient with me.
