Reviews

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

Steve has been a helpful and respectful couples therapist. He stays neutral, guides our conversations well, and helps us communicate more clearly with each other. While he hasn’t introduced many new concepts yet, that’s likely because we already have a strong foundation in relationship skills. Even so, his steady presence and support during difficult conversations have been valuable, and we appreciate his calm approach.

I was very happy to find a therapist with experience with gay couples. I prefer to work with someone that understands gay culture, and is thoughtful and respectful In the way he approaches issues during our sessions.
