“The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen.” ~ Elisabeth Kubler-Ross

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Amanda Brown. 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’ve been with teen counseling for five months, and Amanda Brown has been my therapist and I can really feel myself growing and healing. Thank you
Amanda is very attentive. She checks on me regularly.
Amanda has been a huge blessing to my teenager after a few years of turmoil. Kiddo has come a long way and Amanda's steady care has been a huge part of it.
Amanda is a great resource.
Amanda was the third therapist that I was assigned to and she was the right person for m. She listens well to my needs and compliments me when I am successful at changing behavior. She has always been supportive and is very responsive between sessions also.
AWESOME
Amanda has been a lifesaver. Her compassion, insight, professionalism, and encouragement have provided the support I've needed for quite a while. Working with Amanda has empowered me to have confidence in exploring old issues, as well as new challenges. I really appreciate working with her.
I love Amanda and the work she and I are doing together. She helps me face hard truths and gives me the tools to work through those. Highly recommended.
She's very encouraging and supportive.
Amanda is professional, insightful and wise. I appreciate that she doesn’t sugar coat and challenges me to grow. I am so grateful for the work I have done so far.
Amanda was able to open lines of communication in our family that I didn’t know needed to be opened. She was warm and exceptionally knowledgeable— we are very grateful to have found her.
I cannot express enough how helpful, professional and enlightening my sessions with Amanda have been. She's been my therapist for some time now and the positive effects from our sessions have had a noticeable impacted in my everyday life. This was the accountability I needed. 100% recommend!
Out of all the therapists I’ve ever had Amanda’s been the only one to work with me so well. She’s very kind and considerate and understanding. She listens well and gives great advice, and gives worksheets applicable to your situation and takes them into consideration. She’s such a good therapist and is good if you don’t want someone who just sits there and does virtually nothing. She’s very interactive and responds timely and I’m very happy I got to work with her:).
Thank you Amanda !!!
I cannot explain how lucky I am that you guys paired meet with her. I feel heard, I feel valid, also feel like I am making progress. I was very nervous to start this journey and I’m very grateful that I did and I’m very grateful that I have her help.
Amanda is a very kind, attentive, and insightful therapist. She skillfully helped me navigate a very challenging and overwhelming family crisis, and fully witnessed and encouraged me as I emerged stronger and more resilient. Her years of experience really shone through in the way she accepted and understood the complexities of my family system, and was undaunted by the discouragement and exhaustion I was experiencing. I was continually surprised and helped by the worksheets and tools she pulled out of her toolbox. She possesses profound strength and also gentle warmth...a very nice combination.
Amanda has been such a kind, caring, and supportive voice to me during a tough time. She has shown me many new strategies to coping with big transitions in life and I can’t thank her enough! It’s been a short time, but highly valuable.
Amanda has proven to be a compassionate and capable therapist. I started therapy with uncertainty and reluctance. Amanda had shown me that therapy was not about assigning judgement, it's to create a safe place to voice one's concerns and thoughts without blame. Amanda fully listens to me and helps me understand the mechanisms of my mind to help me become a more emotionally stable person.
Very easy to connect with Amanda. She understands what my issues are and doesn't just listen. She helps me develop strategies to help my anxiety.
In a very short period of time, Amanda has opened up parts of my mind I either have forgotten about or was not aware. She has provided me numerous quite helpful tools to continue my work outside of the sessions. I am very appreciative of the effort she puts in. Amanda challenges me in a safe, caring manner. I look forward to the journey together.
Very kind and honest. Amanda has been enthusiastic and supportive throughout the therapeutic process which has been very helpful for my daughter.
Superb out reach snd professionalism!
A true expert with active solutions and ability to help outside scheduled help!
Love this
Amanda Brown is an exceptional therapist. Caring and always has great suggestions.
Amanda reached out to me pretty quickly once I was matched with her. I really appreciated the messages and worksheets she provided me to help me as well as her understand myself a bit mkre. I enjoyed my phone session with Amanda as she is just gives out a warm and kind energy. It is easy to talk to her and she makes the experience of therapy comfortable and inviting.
Practical and efficient while still managing to bring in a variety of techniques with creativity and warmth. Amanda is a therapist that has the agility to pivot according to the client's needs inspiring a sense of confidence that you're in good, strong, experienced hands.
She’s great at understanding and reading the energy.
Amanda is wonderful. I am so thankful that she is helping me with my issues. She listens to hwat and not to respond
Amanda is very attentive and uses various ways to approach the broad idea of “therapy”. She challenges me through questions, thought techniques, and exercises to unravel the yarn of mental hurdles I deal with.
I have no reservations about working with Amanda Brown. She immediately understood and responded to my issue. She is personable, but professional. She's provided new insights and perspectives and has suggested appropriate and helpful assignments. I would happily work with her again should the need arise.
I love Amanda so much. It's been a perfect fit and she truly cheers my day!! I've definitely already refurred her to many friends and family. She connects with me spiritually and she always seems to have the perfect thing to say:)
So deeply grateful to know that people like this exist and are working in a field and space where they can do the most good! Amanda is such a great person who I was assigned to with divine timing. I have heard it takes time for someone to find a good match in therapy; but I was truly blessed to get an intuitive and thoughtful professional who held space and moved at my pace. Amanda was an understanding and supportive professional who guided me through trauma and used gentle but powerful healing energy and expertise and gave me the space to pick myself up and grow through the darkness into the light. She taught me so much, met me where I stood. Challenged my toxic thoughts and patterns and helped me move through it and move forward. Thank you so much for seeing me through to the other side of the pain. She is truly gifted at what she does and anyone who works with her will see themselves grow exponentially with her guidance.
Amanda has helped me so much in the last few weeks! I never had a therapist like her before. I connected with her immediately, she listened very well, and she made me not feel alone. I wouldn’t be where I am today without her help
Amanda is a caring and compassionate therapist. She is easy to talk to and offers helpful strategies. I am very comfortable with her.
Amazing and helpful therapist! Highly recommend!!
