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

Antonina is an amazing therapist! She’s kind, gentle, loving and most of all makes sure to check up on me between sessions and goes out of her way to message me and make sure I’m ok, which I 100% appreciate! I would recommend her a thousand percent!! Such a lovely lady and amazing human being ?

She’s a great listener and has provided me, so far, with some good tools and resources as we discuss some of my issues. These extras are helpful.

Very wonderful and delightful woman. She doesn’t judge anyone who I’ve spoken to her about. She provides an open and honest opinion on how she would handle the situation, and more importantly, tries to sway you into doing what is best without overstepping a therapist’s role. That’s what I look for in a therapist; an outsider’s view. And to tell me if I’M doing wrong.

Antonina helped me through the most difficult time in my life. I was struggling in so many areas and she helped me focus and prioritize, which made life more manageable. I would highly recommend Antonina to anyone who is overwhelmed by life's obstacles.

Antonina has been a great listener and responds in a timely manner. We haven't been working together long, but I feel like she understands most of what I've brought up in sessions, and had given a little guidance to push back on my stressors.

It’s been just a few weeks and I already see a difference in my son. Antonina is kind and patient and gives wonderful suggestions to help him. As a parent, I am extremely thankful.

To anyone in a position that virtual counseling would best benefit them like me, and can find a counselor or therapist that fits their needs like Mrs. Barr fits mine. Then I could not recommend teen counseling or Mrs. Barr enough.

Therapy is new to me and it was not an easy step to take. My therapist is listening to me and I feel like I can tell her anything. Her responses are easy to understand and I can understand how to apply next steps clearly. I would highly recommend.

Work with me!
