These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Adrienne Parker. 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.
I cannot say enough how much Adrienne has helped our daughter overcome obstacles and provide her the tools to give her a structure to carry through adulthoods issues.
Adrienne is phenomenal! Her wisdoms and expertise is evident through her recommendations and approach to each of our sessions. I am blessed and thankful that she uses her talents through counseling individuals .
When I decided to see a therapist I was literally devastated mentally and can’t stop blaming myself and crying the whole time .
I booked with Adrienne Parker and I’ve done three sessions now and I’m a totally different person with a healthy mentality I became a strong person and I see life from a whole different perspective and I enjoy it.
Adrienne Parker changed my life , I’m forever thankful to her ❤️
Adrienne is an amazing counselor and I learn a lot from our sessions.
I tried therapy before but I never felt understood and/or listened to. Based on that experience I gave up on it. Decided to try therapy once again and I was matched with Adrienne . We connected instantly! I loved how I could express myself, she knew exactly what I was trying to say when I couldn’t even put it in words, she called me out on my faults and applauded me on my greatness. I seriously loved how honest she was with me every single session. She got me to discover things about myself, trauma I still had not overcome and slowly minimize toxic coping mechanisms which affected all my relationships. I learned so much and I am so thankful for that Adrienne! Thank you sooooooo much! Stay great!
Really nice session, even if difficult due to the topic, but she both have understand and always try to find a common ground.
She is also honest about the situation
She listens with an open mind and heart. She helped me get through a very rough patch
Ms. Parker was knowledgeable and professional. She was able to be flexible with our session times. She met with me privately and separately counseled my daughter. It was so helpful and I am grateful for her compassion and ideas.
Adrienne is attentive, understanding and warm. She made extra time for me because of my timezone which I really appreciated.
Adrienne has helped me a lot and helped me think about my challenges in a new way. In the weeks I have been talking with her things in my head have improved markedly. Highly recommended!
She’s understanding and she listens and I’ve enjoyed our sessions. I feel really change after a few sessions with her. I love her!
Very insightful, very honest. I've only had two sessions but I already feel better, she looks at what's realistic and she has definitely taken so much weight off my shoulders already.
Very helpful in helping me find a time slot that worked for me while living abroad.
Adrienne is amazing! She is attentive, intuitive and very knowledgeable. In addition, Adrienne has a way of drawing out what is necessary for healing in a gentle way. I can see that she not only strong but also gentle in her delivery. Thanks to the amazing experience with Adrienne, I have already referred a friend to teencounseling.com.
