Reviews

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

My son felt very comfortable speaking with Christopher Elswick, which is miraculous. My son doesn’t feel comfortable speaking to just anyone, and Mr. Elswick was very kind and empathetic. Highly recommend him!

Written on May 01, 2025 after therapy with Christopher for 9 months on issues concerning trauma and abuse, and grief

Christopher Elswick is fantastic!!! All our calls were video calls, which means he could read my body language of knowing whether to discuss light topics, or other times, could hit on some heavier topics. He has a back n forth method up lighting up the mood with some humor, while still tackling topics that were important to me. I always left every session heard and could really reflect on his guidance.

So far, Chris is absolutely wonderful. I look forward to more sessions with him.

Could not be happier with Chris! I'm a big believer in the value of CBT and really value his skills and support as my therapist

Exactly what I am looking for in a therapist. Highly knowledgeable and still able to communicate high-tier knowledge to me as a patient while i have much less knowledge about human thoughts and tendencies.
