Teral is very helpful and professional.
I would like to recommend her to you.
My therapist listens and understands me, the homework and tools have helped me tremendously
Just in a few sessions I am so comfortable when Teral. She's a great for for my current life needs and has already been a great support to my emotional and mental health.
She’s very kind and never judges no matter what I say.
I really enjoy and appreciate all the help and resources provided by my therapist.
Excellent management of my partner and my issues. Focuses on what is our future and what is important for us now.
Teral provides a very safe and comforting environment. She has helped me through a lot of difficult phases of my life.
Teral has been great. Look forward to continuing with her.
She is absolutely wonderful. She is very attentive and understanding of my concerns. My thoughts and feelings are validated and my sessions do not feel clinical, but are still very professional. I highly recommend Teral.
This was my first session with Teral Williams. I found her to be very observant and astute in identifying some of the key areas I need to work on. I find Teral professional and experienced and I look forward to more sessions with her.
Teral Williams is a wonderful therapist and I have been with her for more than one year. Every session, I feel heard and I can tackle the events of the day more confidently due to her guidance.
Teral Williams has been a great therapist for me
Teral takes the time to listen, understand then respond. I am able to see how my sessions with her are impacting my life in a positive way.
She has been the single best therapist I’ve ever had. She always knows what to say and gives me the correct tools to better my life and manage my traumas. She is quite intelligent and offers many different support options and advice. I would highly recommend her if you need proper help in dealing with most mental health problems.
Accomplished more in 2 sessions with Teral, than years of therapy. Concise and organized in her approach, Teral works with the precision and care of a skilled surgeon! She know how to get to the heart of a matter, and with compassionate means.
Mrs Williams is the most respectful and honest person I have encountered online. One has to interact with her to get the experience. She is simply the best in my opinion.
Respectful and helpful :)
Teral has been supporting my son for several months now. He feels heard, valued and has build trust with her and is getting the support that he needs. Thank you, Teral!
I like it
Teral is a great therapist. She has such a such a depth of knowledge that is truly refreshing in helping to connect many different and complex elements, with also such a breadth of life experience she draws on to help make those same elements more easily understandable, digestible, and relatable. It is truly enjoyable having her as a therapist that can make complex topics simple, but also truly uses her knowledge and experience to be able to connect with her clients with where they are. Teral is such a wonderfully empathetic therapist that I've had the absolute pleasure in working through things with her, and can only say I feel very lucky in having her as my therapist.
Very experienced therapist...
I really felt the first session gave me confidence that she is great at understanding and giving feedback. This will be valuable for me in the next future sessions.
Teral, in a short amount of time, has helped me more than I thought possible. She has given me real-life methods and ideas to work with. She understands what I am saying from what I say and from her own similar life experiences.
She is really good and I whole-heartedly recommend her to anyone looking for actionable advice and results.
Great, she is a perfect fit for me!
She’s the best therapist I’ve found. I’ve grown so much in the months that I’ve been working with Teral. Highly recommend her if she has the capacity to take new patients.
Teral is awesome. She made me feel comfortable from the moment we first spoke. I didn’t know what to expect coming in to this because this is my first time in therapy, but she was very reassuring.
Excellent listener. Compassionate and understanding.
My husband and I have only had 2 sessions with Teral, but they were groundbreaking for our communication. We really could stop beating around the bush and talk about our issues and needs. Teral knows the right questions to ask to make the sessions efficient for the time provided.
Teral is extremely knowledgable and insightful. I’ve been so blessed to have her as my most trusted therapist for years. Always grateful to have her in my life.
Teral has been great so far. I have never had therapy in my life, but finally realizing the importance of talking with a professional as I have alot of stuff going on in my head.
Teral provided quality feedback through thoughtful listening and understanding of our situation.
Teral is very genuine. She uses reflective listening and gives good insight. I would recommend her for sure.
She is amazing! And has helped my family so much!
Teral is a great match for me. I truly appreciate her calm and empathetic listening style, and she never fails to offer helpful insights and suggestions for coping with the stressors in my life. Exactly why I signed up for therapy!

Teral is an expert and really helped us in our relationship.
We achieved our goals thanks to her.
We highly recommend her.
She has a very positive outlook and counseled us for 6 months.
Ms. Teral is a god send. I was really nervous about the whole therapy thing because I’m a very private person so opening up isn’t the easiest for me. But she’s so easy to talk to. I don’t feel judged and she helps me understand the emotions I’m dealing with. Literally after my first session with her, I felt a huge weight lifted off my chest. Words alone can’t express how grateful I am for her.
First time clicking with a therapist at the first visit. She made me feel so comfortable and able to open up fully with all emotions
Teral is my first therapist when I signed up for teencounseling.com. Many people say you'll change Therapists many times before you find the perfect one. I thought I'll switch Therapists quickly, but so far, Teral has been so helpful. I appreciate her listening skills, expertise, and compassion. She has helped me understand my emotions more. She breaks things down for me & help provide explanations for my emotions. This really validates how I feel and it's always comforting chatting with her.
My anxiety and mental health have improved since attending my sessions with Dr. Williams. She listens and respects my feelings. Would recommend.
Teral is truly amazing. She addresses all of my concerns and gives me tools to use in the everyday. I’m thankful to get to speak to her every week.
Teral is extremely supportive, kind, and insightful. She has given me much to work on and think about to better my communication, relationships, and overall wellbeing. I would recommend her to anyone seeking therapy.
I feel safe and seen, able to share anything and while challenges are acknowledged, we stay in the solution.
Teral is very kind and compassionate. The first time I met with her I geninuely felt empathy from her which you don't necessarily feel from a lot of therapists. I appreciate that she is goal oriented and gave me homework to keep me on track. She has definetly met my needs as a therapist
I am very pleased that I was paired with Terel. Terel seems to fully understand my feelings and difficulties in life, and seems to relate to my stage in life, which brings me a higher level of confidence given I’ve never had therapy before this. Terel has opened my eyes and helped me understand ways to process my feelings.
They’re very helpful and my personal growth is taking off
Awesome counselor!
Teral offers professional therapy with an understanding of her clients needs. She never pushes to talk about painful experiences until the patient is ready to talk about it.
So far, fantastic!
Teral was the perfect therapist for me. She made me feel comfortable with her and more importantly, I trusted her and felt safe opening up about anything. Life changing conversations that have helped me handle my daily struggles with anxiety. Thank you Teral!!
I have recently started therapy with Teral and she has helped me tremendously. I am learning to listen to myself, my needs, addressing my triggers and finding healthy ways to resolve conflict and trauma. I have began a healing journey with myself and my family with the tools and resources I have learned in my therapy sessions.
Teral has helped me so much. I'm new to therapy and found her to be helpful, insightful and warm. She listens and provides a supportive environment to explore issues. I would definitely recommend her.
Ms. Williams is a great therapist. She challenges me to think outside the box and to be patient with myself. To question myself by thinking things through before responding.
Teral is the best therapist I've had. She's so easy to talk and open up to. She provides great strategies to help deal with the issues at hand. She listens to what I have to say and I never feel judged in any way. She has been a huge help to me.
Therapy with Dr. Teral Williams has been much needed and greatly appreciated. She has willingly and patiently engaged in my experiences with grief and loss. We've also delved into traumatic situations that I incurred during childhood. Her foresight, wisdom, passion, and professionalism made teencounseling.com the perfect choice for me. If you are looking for a therapist whose clinical experience is on point and whose love for people is evident, then I highly recommend Dr. Teral Williams to you.
I am very pleased with my sessions with Teral. She has taught me a lot of different ways to look at things and gives a lot of insight.
I have spent a few months meeting with Teral and I cannot be explain how grateful I have been to have such a supportive and caring therapist like Teral. By far, all my therapy experiences have been significant however, my time with Teral is like no other. She has a lot of experience and I really appreciated her approach to tailor the sessions on what the client is wanting to discuss and work on. And one of my favorite parts of my time with her is the information and resources she has provided every week before each session. The bibliotherapy journal had very helpful information that allowed me to grow as a person and learn to cope with the issues I am struggling with. I came to Teral at one of the lowest times in my life and I am leaving feeling confident that I can now cope with my anxiety, trauma, and depression in a more positive and productive way than I did in the past. Thank you so much for all your support and time. You made therapy worthwhile :)
She has a very warm and strong presence which makes me hopeful that I can become a better person. I waited years to join therapy because I was scared but Teral helps make this journey worth it
I think she is great, however she is late sometimes and that does bother me. I know it's probably from other sessions but I do this before works so sometimes I just get stressed about the timing. Overall though my experience with her is really good and I respect her a lot.
I am so. Lucky to have her as my therapist. Talking to her I feel heard and I feel safe. I don’t feel judged but I also feel like I can be corrected for my own good. I feel the compassion coming from her and I look forward to our sessions every time!

Teral has helped me through the most tumultuous time in my life and I feel so blessed to have found her!
I have been in therapy with Teral for the almost 3 months. From day 1, I felt quite comfortable with her. She provides a safe space for me to open up and be vulnerable. She is very understanding and she provides good and relevant counsel for my various situations.
What I do admire about Teral is that she takes her time and tries not to rush you and she allows you to share what you want to and not push you to say what you are not ready to share. In other words, she journey's with you.
She encourages me to write, something that I don't usually do a lot; but I am still a working progress.
Teral Williams is in my opion, the best possible therapist you can have. She supports you will challenging you in the process.
Teral is amazing. I’m very happy I found a therapist that I can trust.
She’s giving me a lot of hope and confidence to work through life’s challenges
Amazing therapist who is there to listen, observe, and guide you through your thoughts to find the “problem”.
Teral is compassionate and helpful. She makes sure she understands what I say and mean, and vice versa. I never feel judged, only like she genuinely wants to help. Teral also takes notes throughout our sessions and doesn’t make me repeat details every week; the flow is excellent.
Terals kindness radiates so much through the phone that you forget it's not in person therapy and she just makes you feel you comfortable about getting into uncomfortable topics.
I have been meeting with Miss Teral for 7 months now. I have seen a tremendous improvement in my mood and she is attentive to my thoughts and feelings as well as my goals. I look forward to our calls every week. I’m so happy teencounseling.com connected me with her. ♥️

Teral is very insightful. She is supportive yet challenges my thinking in helpful ways.
Teral is supportive, kind, and thoughtful. She is so inviting and easy to talk to. She offers a variety of calming techniques and useful psychological/behavioral info that helps me not only make sense of my thoughts, but encourages self-confidence, self- trust. 30 minutes isn’t enough with her, haha! It’s been wonderful. I’m thankful to have her as a therapist.
It’s early in our conversations but happy with the progression so far
Teral is an active listener. She is able to assess your situation with great insight and give practical , sound advice that you can follow up on. It has been great having a neutral person steer me in the right direction.
Teral is a great counselor! Very thorough and friendly over the phone. She always had great suggestions. Thanks again!
I have had two live sessions with Mrs. Williams and so far they have been very beneficial. I truly appreciate her supportive nature. Not only is she understanding, but she offers useful/positive tools to help me deal with any stress or anxiety. I also enjoy the way she provides helpful analogies to help me understand what she is talking about.
