About me
Hi! my name is Alin Tovar and I am an License Professional Counselor. I am currently a social emotional counselor for a local public school and truly enjoy working with teens. I work with children from prek-12th grade in the school setting and with a variety of ages in outpatient clinics. I have had several experiences working with teens and families since 2010 and it has truly been an amazing experience. I have been employed for Tropical Texas Behavioral Health with the department of youth and families and feel there is a high demand and need with this population. I have experience treating suicidality, bullying, cyberbullying (victims and perpetrators), self mutilating behaviors and relationship problems to mention a few. Doing contract work at the juvenile detention center I also realized the high need of mental health professionals. I know that being a teen is not easy and know that I can help you with this process .
Thank you for stopping by and reading my profile, look forward to working with you soon.

Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Alin Tovar. 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.
Alin was there when I most needed someone to listen to me and guide me through some very tough moments. She helped me reflect on my own behavior and instead of answering my questions. She taught me how to self-reflect and gave me coping and problem solving tools.
More importantly, she taught me the difference between improving myself (for myself) rather than "for others" . Thus setting me on a constant path of self awareness and to constantly seek ways to improve myself.
Alin is great! Very professional and understands me.
Alin was incredible. Highly recommend her for any couples.
I can’t say enough good things about Alin! She gave me the tools to recognize and cope with the anxiety I felt. She is a wealth of knowledge and helped me become self aware and get my confidence back. She is straight forward but gentle and cares about her patients goals and wellbeing.
She’s amazing! Empathetic and kind. I feel like she’s a blessing to me in my time of need and I’m very thankful I met her.
Fantastic therapist, kind and genuine . Extremely patient
Alin is truly amazing. She is so knowledgeable and helpful, I don’t know what I would have done without her!
She is a very kind and understand person that helps me with my issues and makes me feel safe and understood
Wonderful listener who uplifts and supports with her expertise. Provides amazing guidance and really analyzes the situation at hand
Creí la terapia era para otras personas, me he dado cuenta que debemos buscar ayuda para mejorar nuestra parte interior. Los lados negros no permiten disfrutar la parte blanca de la vida. Tenemos situaciones conflictivas que han estado con nosotros por mucho tiempo. Tengo una gran fe en esta terapia. Creo me ayudará a crecer, mejorará mi relación con la vida, con mis monstruos, por lo menos, conoceré una verdadera reacción cuando se enfrentan situaciones pasadas y te prepara para situaciones futuras.
Creo elegí bien......camino a la felicidad.
Estoy positiva!!
She s Absolutely Awesome! Very attentive to her patients . She shows genuine care and concern . I would definitely recommend her !
I have struggled with understanding how to unpack and deal with my past. Alin has played a crucial role in helping me get organized and creating a safe, comfortable space for me to successfully understand the root cause of my depression all the while providing me with practical tools and coping techniques. I highly recommend her services.
Ms Tovar is an awesome therapist. She listens and gives really solid advice.
I've been so grateful to work with Alin. I feel that she truly values me and wants to help me, and she's great at listening and at drilling down to the issues I'm facing. She's made my weekly sessions one of the highlights of my week!
Alin Tovar is a fantastic therapist. I have never felt so comfortable. She truly listens and has a broad area of expertise. I’m so happy I was matched with her.
Alin is a breath of fresh air. I feel comfortable and safe and look forward to our sessions.
My first session was amazing. I felt like weight was lifted off my shoulders, that is the best way I could describe it. She made me feel heard and important. I didn't feel judged or intimidated. I definitely recommend talking with Alin!
She has been great. I really appreciate how compassionate and sensitive and supportive she is.
Alin is a caring and intelligent therapist. She is incredibly insightful, and she asks questions that get to the heart of a matter. I entered therapy because I was feeling hopeless, powerless, and overwhelmed. She really helped me teencounseling.com my voice in my life. I ended my therapy time not feeling "fixed" or "perfect" but rather empowered to take charge in my life again. I felt hopeful. So thanks, Alin!
Alin is probably one of the best therapists I have encountered. She’s open minded, is always suggesting other options or other ways of going about my current situations, is the most kind hearted person and really wants me to go above and beyond than the norm
Alin Tovar was an amazing therapist to my teen during a difficult time in her life.
Very patient and non judgemental
Alin Tovar has been very respectful and helpful in dealing with any issues. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a therapist
She is wonderful! She understands me! So happy to have her as my therapist
My therapist is amazing! She makes me feel heard but not mask what’s going on with me. Truthful and helpful in so many ways!
Alin is so amazing! She has truly helped me in the past couple of months make me feel like myself again! I’ve seen a difference since the first time I started coming to therapy to now 2-3 months later and wow- I can’t wait to continue down this road to success with her:)
Alin is the most thoughtful therapist I’ve ever had. I’m very comfortable talking to her. She helps keep me motivated to improve myself.
Alin is very understanding about my health issues/problems and etc. She has a sense of humor that makes her more “human” even though we’re probably very far apart! I feel safe telling her anything.
I not only feel understood, but I honestly believe her work, prior to me meeting her, has made her the perfect fit for me at this time. I struggle with a lifetime of issues and she has a background in nearly all of them. I’ve felt hopeless. Negative thoughts and traumas from as early as I can remember, it seemed impossible to heal. I now know with her guidance I can find a way to heal AND grow.
Really enjoy having Alin as my counselor. she really takes time to listen and try and understand my thought process. She helps me to challenge a lot of my irrational thoughts and I never feel judged when speaking with her, so can really open up and speak openly with her. After all therapy is only as effective as we allow it to be by being open and honest.
This is my first ever therapy and I had lots of doubts on the whole process but Alin happened to be a good choice for me. She gave time and stood strongly for me which helped me more. I would surely recommend her to anyone seeking therapy.
Incredible. She cares. Very well spoken. Pays attention to the small details. Guides conversation in a constructive manner. She is intelligent and friendly. Without a doubt the best therapist I have seen.
Alin is a great listener. She is very intuitive. I don't really know how to articulate what I am feeling very well, but she is able to sense what I mean from what I am saying and interpret it.
from the first five minutes of therapy I regretted not hearing of this service sooner. but I would say that about my particular consular in any scenario. Alin has the ability to make a conversation with one party in Texas and the other in New York seem like your just in session as any on therapy. attentive, educated, caring. I am thankful such people are out there doing God's work.
Alin is an absolute GOD SEND. These last 4 months have been some of the hardest emotional times of my life and I honestly do not know where I would be without her. Her ability to actively listen, hear me out and give me great advice while guiding me into a healthy place is an incredible gift. I cannot thank her enough!
Alin has helped me a lot. Is very focused on progress and is nonjudgemental of unique lifestyles and vocations.
Alin has been incredibly supportive and helpful. She's been able to give me so many tools to help me with my anxiety and depression. I have grown so much as a person because of her.
Alin has managed to draw out my very quiet introverted teen, that’s quite an achievement. Alin is awesome.
Alin is an amazing counselor!! She immediately identified my needs and went deep into my history to help me discover the ROOT of my problems. When I found her, I was in dire need of help and she gave me tools right away. I am looking forward to continue working with her.
I brag about having a therapist now! Nothing to be ashamed of, especially when you have someone so helpful on the other end of the line, helping you through some of the biggest struggles. I’m so thankful for Alin. And I know my family is, as well!
I am so grateful to Alin for making me feel heard everytime I talk to her. She is very professional. After I started talking to her, I have started feeling like I have someone who really cares. She responds to my msgs and provides me positive insights. She is the best.
I have only been working with Alin for a few weeks but, already I feel like things are different. If nothing else I am seeing that my thoughts and emotions are valid. I also feel like I'm talking with someone who understands and can help me navigate those issues. I've been on teencounseling.com before but, Alin has been the most help by far.
you have helped me in so many ways more than you can ever know
I know that im... different. Alin gives me a safe space to air aaaaalll my... stuff. She's also goal oriented. Theres a mission here. Betterment
She is kind, undersaynding and has compassion and empathy.
She addresses all of my concerns and is more thorough in helping me analyze my thoughts and getting to the root of my concerns than any other psychiatrist or psychologist I've seen. In just 2 sessions I truly feel I'm making serious progress with her. She's professional and amazing at what she does.
I was so reluctant to try therapy, but working with Alin has relieved all of my worries. From the first few messages she immediately established that this was my space and guided our conversation in such a natural way.
I feel that I’ve accomplished more with Alin in just a few sessions than I have in years of trying to heal on my own. She’s my advocate, encourager, and she also never allows me to make excuses for myself.
I’m learning what it means to be the best version of me and I will forever be grateful to her and teencounseling.com for that.
Alin has been very interactive with helping me work through my issues. She has helped me also find ways to keep going in a positive direction.
Alin has been incredibly helpful and responsive. She made sure to communicate in a way that I was comfortable, and she checks in regularly. So far with the issues I have talked about, she has offered valuable insight and a variety of strategies. I would highly recommend her to anyone seeking help and a kind listening ear.
Alin is amazing, she listens to me, I feel heard, understood, Appreciated, and helped every time we talk. I'm so grateful that I was paired with her for this journey.
Alin is very professional and respectful. She listens well and provides insights on what I share and why I may be feeling/responding some kind of way. She is helping me reframe certain issues I have as well which helps.
Very caring, seems knowledgeable about intersectionality aspects of mental health.
