Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Dr. Valenta Ward-Gravely. 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.
Dr. Ward-Gravely is an excellent therapist and I do appreciate her for all the support she has given to us so far. She is amazing and highly valued.
Calm, understanding and a great listener
Dr. Ward-Gravely is patient and offers great options to overcome difficulties.
Dr Ward is very kind and compassionate. She has a gentle way of speaking to you that is comforting. She has already taught me breathing techniques and given me small, manageable goals to work on that I am seeing results with for my anxiety. I am grateful to have found Dr. Ward!
Very experienced and understanding. I would recommend her for sure
You can tell Dr. Ward-Gravely really cares about her clients. She has really helped me from when we started. I had gone to 3 other therapists before her but really feel she is the best match for me because she is caring, transparent and good at giving it to you straight when needed in a way that pushes you in a direction to be the best version of yourself. HIGHLY recommend.
I cannot recommend Dr. Ward-Gravely enough. She has a way of communication that really makes me feel heard.
Dr. Ward-Gravely is a kind and caring therapist with great wisdom and guidance. She holds a very positive outlook in life and situations. She is very supportive and helpful in listening and guidance through tough situations and what comes and goes through life. I highly recommend Dr. Ward-Gravely.
Very happy to have met Dr. Ward-Gravely. We have been with other therapist that didn’t quite do it for us but she’s awesome. She listens, provides great insight, and is very compassionate about her clients. I would recommend Dr. Ward-Gravely to anyone in need of counseling and actually I have. Another thing I love about her is that she shows up. We’ve had other therapist where we’d really need to have our session that day but they wouldn’t show. We HAVE NOT had that experience with Dr. Ward-Gravely at all. She always shows. Also, her communication is excellent which really made us feel from the beginning that she really cares about us. Thanks for everything Dr. Ward-Gravely!!
Dr. Ward-Gravely was exactly the right therapist at exactly the right time. She listens deeply and offers great insight and guidance. She helped me work through some longstanding issues and I am so grateful. My relationships are moving in the right direction.
She is one of the best of all time. Thanks Dr. Ward.
Dr Ward is just amazing.
She's a keen listener and actually show's care.
She doesn't have automates responses
My boyfriend and I have had two sessions with Dr. Ward-Gravely and so far, we are very happy with her. She has helped us
see things in a different perspective and we look forward to our time with her. She has soft voice and a kind heart and it’s easy to tell that she enjoys helping people and she is very accommodating as well. I have been to numerous therapists in the past and she is by far the best one I’ve had so far
A great therapist and is very helpful
Dr. Ward-Gravely is an excellent listener and understands my wife and me very well. She offers good insights and allows us to dig deeper into what underlies our thoughts and interactions. I would highly recommend her to anyone.
Dr Ward-Gravely has been excellent. She is insightful and has offered some really useful strategies that have helped me to navigate the difficulties within our relationship. we both value her support and are feel very supported as we explore the issues that we have.
She is insightful and allows for you to talk through ways to address problems. We built strategies together allowing me to plan and address my issues.
Listens to me and helps me alot
Has been supportive and able to recommend practical and achievable steps toward my goals in therapy which are working well
Awesome
I just love her she listens she understands she interprets what you're saying of the other person doesn't understand she's just an overall great person and I'd love for others to get to know her cause she's thr bomb
Its very early to be making judgements about the effectiveness after one session. I think I would like some time to talk things through alone as well as having my wife present.
However so far it has been positive
