Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Christina McGinn. 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.
Christina was very good and seeing through my ramblings and helping me see the real problem. It’s been extremely eye opening and exactly what I needed!!
Christina is very thoughtful and encouraging. She asks me useful questions and provides tools that I've put into practice.
Christina has helped me so much! I came into therapy nervous, not really knowing what to expect. She is personable, caring, friendly, and SO engaged! The way she had guided me to see things differently, for the better, has helped tremendously. She has given me the tools to work on many things myself between sessions. My relationships are better, I’m happier, I am better at controlling my emotions (anger, frustration) in situations that are not ideal. I’m a better Mommy and wife :)
Working with Christina has been incredible! She is knowledgable, approachable, kind, and has helped me immensely with my mental health. She provides a wonderful balance of listening, helping me reflect, and sharing tools to help me manage my anxiety. I cannot recommend her highly enough!
Christina is very thought provoking and will ask timely questions...leading you down the path where you answer your own concerns.
Christina is a great therapist; she listens without judgment, offers advice without trying to influence your decision, and is very knowledgeable about the issues I'm working on. She has many exercises to go through, either during our sessions or on my own, that help to evaluate and progress on those topics.
Christina has been amazing for my mental health. I haven't felt this good for years. She listens and helps but also just let's me verbally work through things myself. Perfect mix of help.
She doesn't just listen, nod her head and take notes and say "see you next week". She puts herself in her clients shoes. I know! She got as upset with me as my girlfriend did. Which was a wakeup for me. I have had a yes-therapist before and it turned me off for a long time. So glad I gave it another go and glad I found her.
She is splendid. She’s helped me adjust to adulthood and made me feel like a real human again!
Christina is great! She is an attentive listener and gives sound advice
Christina has been very helpful in the sessions we’ve had so far. She understands my goals and has shared different coping mechanisms or behavioral changes to make in order to help me reach those goals.
Amazing. Highly recommended.
Christina has helped me leaps and bounds. She’s always respectful and responsible. Even helped me schedule an emergency meeting when I really needed one. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who truly listens and helps you achieve your mental health goals.
Most responsive therapist I’ve had! She’s been great so far!
AMAZING. One simple question changed me. She asked that question and I needed to hear it. Thank you!!
Christina was a huge help to me in figuring out how to navigate the dating world and also helping me gain enough self confidence to put myself out there. I am super grateful and owe her quite a bit!
Christina is great! She listens very patiently, speaks with kindness, reflects on my growth, is excited for me through changes, and overall very very easy to talk to. I never feel silly, judged, or minimized. I actually enjoy getting to talk to her, even when the topics aren't easy, because she truly is so understanding and really does help me learn about myself. I've tried 4 other therapists over the years and Christina has been very welcoming, encouraging, and supportive. 10/10 great therapist + great gal!
Christina is very helpful I’m enjoying my sessions with her. Looking forward for my help from her!
Christina has helped my family in more ways than I can ever say. She's so patient and appropriately firm. She's compassionate and empathetic, doesn't pick sides, and stays professional.
Christina was a great fit for my teen. Being online helped a lot because we live in a Rural area.

So very grateful.
Christina McGinn was wonderful. When my wife and I signed up for therapy we were both very nervous. After our first session our feelings had completely changed. We would look forward to our sessions with her and found our time together to be fun and very educational. Christina presented different viewpoints on topics we had struggled with which really made us think and helped us understand each other better. Christina was always willing to listen to us and genuinely answered our questions. Christina would ask follow up questions to ensure her answers to our questions were understood by us. I would highly recommend Christina to anyone looking to strengthen their relationship and resolve conflicts.
