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

Vanessa truly respects me and makes me feel heard. She has no judgment and understands my intentions of trying to understand and process my thoughts and feelings. She is a great listener, positive, and supportive teacher to my goals.

Vanessa is a wonderful, kind, friendly, and professional therapist. She is great with my teen, and has helped me to be a better parent. We were struggling as a family, and she has helped us navigate each challenge, and celebrated each victory along the way. I highly recommend working with Vanessa!
