Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Andrew Kohl. 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.
very helpful and insightful
Andrew is the best at identifying deep rooted issues and patterns and finding ways to work on them. Throughout the months that I’ve been with him I’ve had many goals met and solutions fixed. From my job to my relationships
Andrew is friendly and helpful. He is understanding and always able provide an ear and allow me to just vent, and also knows when to step in with probing questions or suggestions. He is willing to put his life experiences out in the open as example of things that did and didn't work for him. This helps him build trust and feel more like a friend trying to help, rather than a clinician making a diagnosis of a problem and prescribing a specific remedy, which is great.
10 out of 10 would recommend as a therapist for anyone.
Ver knowledgeable, listens actively and highly engaged
Andrew is the man, he is very compassionate and understanding and very real with you. He's extremely accepting and patient, and devoted to his clients first and foremost. He has a great capacity to listen and understand complicated intricacies of mental health experiences and personal stories. He is a big support and offers a non-judgmental container for me to express and reintegrate my mental health experiences. Very grateful for his work and authenticity with me!
andrew is THE BEST. he is kind, caring, and empathetic to every situation and his style allowed us to see things from the other perspective all while still remaining neutral. he has helped strengthen our communication and has given us tools to work through even the toughest of fights. i highly recommend andrew to anyone and everyone!
He is a very good therapist. No complaints of him from me.
My therapist Andrew is a true gift. He’s knowledgeable, thoughtful, kind and keeps me grounded in an otherwise chaotic world. His advice is always on point, and his strategies work wonders!!
Very kind, caring, empathetic, compassionate, and offers good ideas.
Very punctual. Great with communication and helped me get my foot through the door with therapy since I haven’t been to therapy before. All around great therapist.
Andrew is attentive, very responsive and provides great resources, advice, and helpful tips and information for our growth as a couple. We respect and trust him and value his input greatly
He’s unconventional, which may put off some. But for me it was perfect. It’s like talking to a friend versus a therapist-patient relationship. He doesn’t act like he knows more than you.. and doesn’t judge.
Andrew is a very kind, respectful and knowledgeable therapist who I feel I have been able to make a strong connection with. I don't know where I would be with out his help and knowledge.
Andrew Kohl is an awesome therapist.
Andrew lends a patient ear and dealing with a person from a different culture can be difficult and he has handled with a lot of poise. He is very patient at listening and brings a lot of perspectives from his own experience to help me relate. He shows his human side and that makes a lot of difference in letting me let my guard down.
I cannot express how helpful Andrew has been. He is an incredibly sensitive, compassionate and pragmatic therapist who has always treated me with the utmost respect and kindness. He offers a wonderful style of therapy for anyone who is looking to reflect on their own habits and actions. I cannot overstate how much he has helped me recover and grow as a person. If you put effort into your sessions with Andrew, I'm sure you will get a great deal out of your time with him.
Andrew is a great therapist with a very positive and friendly demeanor. His practical insights for young men with depression/ relationship issues are simple enough for the lay person to understand but also packed with wisdom. This is great because he doesn’t overwhelm you with technical terms or complicated ideas and his advice really hit home for me as a young man. He inspired me and gave me more confidence in the short time that I had with him. I will hopefully be back sooner than later. Thank you Andrew and teen counseling!
Andrew makes sure you are a good fit for him as a client and he is a good fit for you as a therapist. Andrew is very direct and to the point with me which is what I need. He has been wonderful and his schedule is open. He checks in with you every week after your appointment to see how things are going and if you need anything. He is on time to his appointments and ensured you get your allotted amount of time. Overall, very happy
Wonderful introduction and initial recommendations. Looking forward to working with you!
Everything great
When I began therapy over a year ago, it was my first time and didn’t know what to expect. Thank you, Andrew, for being a trusted counselor and therapist! Thank you feels too small for the gratitude I feel. He has been an important part of my growth and I have had an ally and friend as I waded through some difficult/dark and also beautiful times. He is consistent and warm in his communications, displays a lot of vulnerability, and is professional- all of which have made a wonderful impact. I’d highly recommend working with Andrew!
Andrew is someone I totally trust ...and is in my/ our inner circle! He is greatly appreciated professionally and personally. Merry Christmas!!
We’ve only had 1 session with Andrew but we’re pleased with the interaction thus far. We’re looking forward to working closely with him.
Andrew listens, and doesn’t steer you in any direction. He goes with the flow, and learns what’s important to you, while still helping keep you on track with what he believes is important. Nothing is missed, ever. I feel quite comfortable just letting it all out in our talks, and feel heard. Great individual! Great professional! Look forward to continuing to work with him!
I’ve been working with Andrew for about 2 months and in that time I’ve benefited greatly from his relatableness, ability to conceptualize situations that offer varying perspectives, and empowering me to make healthy choices using my own best judgement and skill set. What I also appreciate is his focus on life balance and values and how that plays into overall health. I feel really heard, understood, and the support and insight has allowed me to grow and mature. I highly recommend!
Andrew has been exceptional and has helped me out immensely. He always has something witty to say and will tell you what you need to hear. He is honest, and means what he says. I cannot recommend him enough.
Andrew has been amazing! Very consistent with contact between sessions. Always detailed during conversations. Perfect fit!
He listens and provides quality ideas and solutions relationship conflict. I appreciate on how he tries to relate by using his experiences.
Andrew is wonderful. He provides a listening ear and his expertise is multi-faceted. He has truly helped me through a very difficult time period in my life. I’ve recognized that the intense stress I was once feeling has minimized greatly and I’ve been able to really focus on myself/gain better control over my emotions. He is a great human being and therapist! I highly recommend to anyone.
Very helpful to talk to. Listens well and responds thoughtfully
responsive, professional. 5 stars
Andrew cares. He's earnest in his approach to helping you on your terms and committed to offering a variety of ways of helping you on your journey beyond just the sessions themselves: wide range of available meeting times, supplemental resources and interacting with journal entries and incorporating them into your sessions. He takes notes on what is discussed in sessions and builds, rather than simply showing up. He is a good person who makes himself vulnerable by sharing examples of his own relatable struggles and shortcomings. I respect him because he takes his work and helping people seriously.
As someone who has worked with over 10 therapists before age 22, I feel that Andrew is one of the best I've worked with. He actively listens, knows when and when not to push with questions, respectfully disagrees, and is available to fit my sporadic schedule.
Therapists are not one size fits all, but I highly recommend you allow him a chance to help you in journey.
Andrew is intuitive, and a great listener with a lot of wisdom. He offers timely advice and has countless resources that he offers in my journal after each session. I also really appreciate when he reaches out at the start of the week… makes me feel like I got someone in my corner rooting for me to succeed.
Andrew is down to earth and understanding. He helps put things into perspective when you can’t quite make sense of your feelings or “why”.
He has a sense of humor that is therapeutic. I appreciate him checking in through out the week and keeping the lines of communication open outside of the scheduled “talk time”. He responds in a timely manner and has flexible scheduling if the times don’t always work. Highly recommended.
I've been working with Andrew for a couple of months now on a weekly schedule and I love working with him! He's helped me so much on my healing journey after desperation. He helps me look at things in a different perspective and hives me very good insight. Hes extremely easy to talk and relate too! I 1000% recommend Andrew to anyone!
Andrew is very personable, kind, and compassionate. He has a wonderful ability to make me feel valued and heard. I’m truly thankful that I was matched with him. I have looked forward to our sessions weekly and his upbeat personality is a definite bonus! I’m really happy that he is open and honest with me and that he “gets me” as a human. Thanks Andrew!
Only a session in but I am most impressed by the messaging and checking in I get from my therapist! I have NEVER had that and this actually feels like a connection. My only concern is I don't think my insurance is accepted which may have to end things early
Andrew is a great fit. He is understanding and empathetic and yet gives me strength and toughness when I need it. I’m very appreciative of his support and help.
Honestly, Andrew was a huge help in navigating so many aspects of my life. I was able to focus more on the positives in my life and building myself up instead of what I didn't have at that moment. He helped me gain an understanding that the things I blamed myself for and tore myself down over didn't make me a person of no value to my friends and family. I strongly recommend Andrew if you need someone who listens and has good insight, he's very pleasant and very easy to talk to as well.
I would not be able to put all the wonderful things I could say about Andrew in a “short” review. What I can say is he’s honest, kind, great listener, down to earth & knowledgeable. With our first conversation I was able to identify the things that needed to be worked on & actually had a break through with my family. I would recommend Andrew to any & everyone who is looking to seek help!
Andrew is dope easy to talk to . And just overall understands I look forward to every session .
Andrew responds to your messages quickly and always checks in to see if you need anything. What stands out about him in the sessions is that he’s a really genuine person and he relates his personal experiences to your situation. I felt comfortable sharing my struggles with him and he focused on giving me strategies/tools to address those issues. He’s also very positive and encouraging. I couldn’t recommend Andrew more and I’m grateful for his help/guidance.
I love that Andrew is so available for his clients. My previous therapist wasn’t responsive and even missed one of our session, so being matched with Andrew had been a great experience. Andrew is very friendly and relatable, making me feel comfortable. He is also very assuring which I appreciate. I sincerely wish him all the best in his future endeavours.
Andrew imparts personal experiences which make me feel heard and understood.
I was about to stop using teencounseling.com because my previous therapist wasn’t very helpful or responsive and my insurance doesn’t cover this type of therapy anyway. I decided to give the app another go and asked for another therapist and they matched me with Andrew. Andrew is the only reason I haven’t gone back to in-person sessions with my old therapist. Yes, it would be free to do so, but Andrew is By far the best therapist I have dealt with so far. He listens well and responds appropriately. He is also responsive to messages which I like.
I have been very lucky to find Andrew.
At first I was very worried that a man might not understand some of the problems I am facing. I changed my mind soon. I came to therapy after having depression, relationship breakup, eating disorder, low self esteem, my anxiety levels were so high, and I started to be really worried. In a few months of work, I was able to manage my emotions, I had many ups and downs, which Andrew was able to manage with a lot of patience. He asked me often how I was feeling, through messages,checking every couple of days. He made me feel comfortable in the communication approach I preferred, messages, calls.
I have completely overcome the state of tension, depression and anxiety.
I'm defintely in a better place now.
Andrew showed me a way, a path I could follow, and is what I needed it.
I was so overwhelmed with everything in my life and I couldn't manage it anymore. Speaking with him was helpful despite cultural and language differences, I felt understood. After a few months I have had a marked improvement, then now I can ease my anxiety states. Andrew is a very good therapist, I would recommend him to anyone. he is empathic, professional and at the same time he make you feel like you are speaking with a friend.
I spoke with him about everything and he helped me in everything..work, relatioship, anxiety, depression...etc
I am still working with him but I feel a different person, there are still things that need time and work, but I am much more in controll of my life. My friends and family saw in me a big change with time. I worked a lot on my life balance and still I am doing, when something is not working I start to recognize where I do wrong and I try to go back on track by myself. He showed me the way and he defintely changed my life in something better. Thanks Andrew!!
In my +/- 8 months working with Andrew, I have transformed into a much healthier version of me. With his guidance and support, I have been able to grow out of my limiting beliefs, trauma bonds, and challenging circumstances, into a life of alignment and positive mental health. This journey made me realize I could benefit from somatic therapy also and am continuing my healing journey that direction from here, but both have been equally important and life-changing. Thank you Andrew for your time and care. I will recommend you to anyone/everyone!
Andrew is a very kind soul that I feel truly enjoys to listen and help others. He gives great responses and great examples to many people especially men. Has a very good outlook to his life and it shows through in his passing it to others. Great Councelor to me!
Andrew is very knowledgeable and understanding of both sides. He uses great examples to put things into perspective.
Andrew is extremely thoughtful in his approach. He is kind, knowledgeable, relatable and sincere. I am so grateful that we found him!
Very good fit for myself. Is less educated about transgender care but makes an effort to learn and listen to my needs
Very polite and sends long messages for you to ponder over
In the couple sessions I have had with Andrew, he has helped more than months with my last therapist. He has a very practical approach that helps so much.
Andrew genuinely cares. He’s kind and always makes me feel comfortable to be totally open about anything. Not a hint of judgment and never comes across as pompous or arrogant which I’ve unfortunately come across in the past dealing with therapy.
Best therapist we have both worked with.
He's wonderful
Andrew is always thoughtful in his responses and relates things to real life scenarios. He provides thought-provoking ideas and the tools to get you back into a good mindset . They are a good listener and check in frequently to make sure things are going smoothly. I would recommend him to anyone.
He is phenomenal, and cares in many ways. I would highly recommend him for his broad level of expertise and life experience.
Andrew has been fantastic! He is very knowledgeable and always knows how to approach an issue with the care and respect.
Andrew know how to approach a person he is offering counseling to ,he listen and make suggestion .
Great guy and awesome advice.
I really enjoy hearing his fresh perspectives each week on both immediate issues and concerns as well as long term goals. He does more than just listens but rather engages well in a back and forth dialogue to problem solve together.
Excellent
Andrew has been great and with his advice things are progressing greatly.
Andrew is great. He knows about kids and the difficulties for parents.
He has been a great addition to our family network. I have seen favorable progress with my daughter since we have worked with him. I am learning a lot as a parent as well. Two for one deal. This has been one of the best investments in my child's development.
Excellent
I've only begun sessions with Andrew Kohl, however I find him very easy to talk to and relatable. So far it's been a positive experience and I can see myself making progress!
Andrew has been great! I don't think I could have made it through my depression without him.
Andrew has an uncanny intuition and ability to read people. He offers fresh reasonable perspectives and insights. It it obvious that he cares. Andrew is warm while remaining professional.
Andrew has helped me to change my life and my mindset. His patience, kindness, and dedication to helping people is truly inspiring. He provides you with very helpful resources, is generous with his time, and he also checks in every few days which reinforces that he cares. I can tell that he is so passionate about what he does, and I can’t imagine a month going by without working with him. My life is so much better because I met him. It’s easy to talk with him about any issues and he always makes me feel comfortable when discussing deeper problems. I almost gave up on finding a counselor before I met him, and I’m so glad that I didn’t. Thank you Andrew!
Great counselor, very understanding and genuine. Recommend to anyone needing counseling.
Andrew has been very open and understanding to my needs. He took the time to help me identify my issues and has provided me with tips and strategies on how to better handle some of my situations. He also checks in regularly to make sure I am supported. I feel very comfortable and supported with Andrew.
Andrew's counseling style is the epitome of the personal touch! He is smart, professional, caring, and compassionate. He shares his professional knowledge in such a way that you feel like you are talking to a trusted friend which makes you feel comfortable talking about deeply personal subjects. When I was feeling very depressed, he was there with encouraging words to help me start to think more positively and he messages you every couple days, just to check in with you!! With his shared personal experiences, advice and goal setting techniques I feel like he went above and beyond for me EVERY session!
I cannot say enough good things about this counselor. I'm already making progress in just a few weeks. He's very encouraging and aware of my issues.
My teen was really hesitant to participate in counseling but since he started working with Andrew he has become more open to it!
Andrew is an amazing person who is honest and caring about his patients. He was able to help me through some tough times in my life and keep me focused on making myself better. He was very easy to talk to which is hard for me to do. I felt extremely comfortable telling him what was going on in my life and he was able to find solutions to everything I was struggling with. He helped me establish a way to communicate how I'm feeling in a way that my wife could understand in a very short amount of time. He was always willing to work with my busy schedule to ensure that we had a meeting when I needed it the most. He always listened with open ears and NEVER made me feel like I was just another person he had to deal with, which was a tremendous help to my mental health. He was always quick to respond to my messages and would always check in with me if he didn't hear from me for a few days, and I must say that helped me out a lot! If you're considering using Andrew he comes very highly recommended by me and the countless others he has helped. I can not thank you enough, and I am so extremely grateful to have had your help through all of this. 10/10!
I have had like 3 sessions with Andrew. So far I’ve really enjoyed it; and his life analogies are so relatable to me!
I've been working with Andrew for just over 2 months now and it's been fantastic. I remember our first phone session - in the space of about 15 minutes, Andrew understood my situation better than anyone else has in the past year and a half. He put into words how I have been feeling better than I could have done myself. He hits the nail on the head consistently, and I haven't felt this understood or supported in a very long time. I'm a constant work in progress but I feel confident about the future knowing Andrew's got my back. I'd highly recommend him to anyone.
We really appreciate Mr. Kohl’s time with Noah. He’s patient, kind, and seems to care. Noah was very hesitant to contact a councilor- so while they haven’t covered much ground yet due to warming up - we’re already starting to see his reluctance reduce. And that feels like the first big step.
Well, we just started...but he always responds ...he is knowledgeable... he is kind and attentive. I am excited to continue
Andrew Kohl has been by far and away the best counsler ive ever had. He is funny and can hold a conversation, but sticks to the task at hand and helps me out a lot. He seems very smart and equipped to help with my problems. Im very thankfull for Mr. Kohl, and look foreward to continueing my meetings with him.
Andrew was everything that I need(ed). He was compassionate and very knowledgeable about my circumstances. He was 100% ok with scheduling sessions via text as I was feeling too overwhelmed to participate by phone/video. I hope to resubscribe soon, and if I do I will seek out Andrew.
Andrew is a fantastic human being and professional. I've tried therapy a couple of times but was yet to click with someone to the point where I feel actually chill and relaxed about opening up. He's very understanding and open minded, and I'd recommend him to anyone looking for some excellent insights into how their mind works.
Andrew has been the person I needed. I have been searching for a therapist for 2 years.
I've had 2 sessions so far. They have been wonderful. He truly listens to me. I had counseling before and they didn't seem to really ask questions ask much. Because he's asked more I feel more confident we will be able to get to the root of things. So that we can improve things and learn to cope. He is definitely very caring and make me feel welcomed as well. Which has made opening up about some things so far a bit easier. When I message him he is prompt with that as well. I am looking forward to continuing to work with him.
