He’s a great listener, and comes up with these cool analogies that truly make you think about things in a different light. It’s why I came back to teencounseling.com!

Berekat is amazing. He connects with my teenage son, and has built an incredible relationship with him. My son trusts him with everything, and is confident enough to talk freely. My son is also on the spectrum, which makes him hesitant to interact with new people, but he took to Berekat immediately.

Berekat is very perceptive and is skilled. He listens intently and is able to offer insight without any prompting. He is genuine and shows it consistently. He truly has been extremely helpful towards my ability to stay grounded during such a personal, stormy time in my life.

In just a few sessions I feel like Berekat Petros has heard my needs. Truly listens to what I'm saying without judgment and gives me the appropriate tools to handle my challenges. I would and have recommend him to my family and friends. Thank you

After a brief course of therapy a few years ago I was hesitant to try it again. I’m so glad I did as Berekat has been such an amazing counsellor. After 2 months of sessions with Berekat he is always attentive, patient and a great listener who helps guide me to look at things from a different perspective. I appreciate his guidance and would highly recommend him to others.

He is a great therapist! He has helped me A LOT through my journey. I'm sure other therapists are great, but he is one of a kind! He listens and lets me share until I'm done speaking. He asks questions respectively. I really enjoy our sessions.

I’d happily recommend Berekat to anyone, he’s attentive and gives helpful and thoughtful responses. He is positive and very easy to talk to, and never once felt unsafe in opening up in therapy.

Berekat is a fantastic counselor who is able to convey ideas in a way that is not only understandable but also in a way I can put things into action for myself.

In the few sessions that I've had with Berekat so far, he's been able to help me change my thought patterns. It's refreshing to have someone who can actually take the garbled thoughts thrown at him and turn them into an actual problem that can be molded and addressed. Thanks Berekat!

Berekat is an excellent counsellor. He has a very gentle approach and is very calm and compassionate.

I have only had two sessions with Berekat but find his manner makes it really easy to open up. I genuinely feel listened to and genuinely believe that he is making an effort to help me and not just going through the motions. I feel like his advice to me has been sound and that my sessions have already had a positive impact.
