Reviews

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

Written on Feb 07, 2024 after therapy with Dianna for 10 months on issues concerning stress, anxiety, relationship issues, family conflicts, parenting issues, and anger management

Dianna is such a great listener, tough love advisor, and partner on my wellness journey. She responds to all my messages, encourages me to try new methods and mindsets, and we even are able to be light-hearted about some pretty heavy stuff. I am so lucky I found her and can't even quantify how much better she makes my self-esteem, stress, life and relationships!

I am very surprised at how easy it is to use the teencounseling.com counseling service. Dianna Privitt is the therapist for me, she is amazingly insightful and on point, and I feel very safe and supported.

I swear, Dianna is heaven-sent. I feel heard, seen, and understood by Dianna. I feel like our sessions have constructive dialogue that helps me to grow in ways I had never imagined I could. It has not even been a year yet, but I have made so much progress with her. I feel super grateful to have Dianna as a therapist

Written on Feb 03, 2024 after therapy with Dianna for 3 months on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, relationship issues, grief, intimacy-related issues, coping with life changes, and compassion fatigue

Dianna is kind, caring, supportive, respectful, and knowledgable. She has excellent recall of things I’ve told her before and I feel like each session gets more valuable the more she gets to know me, my story, and my perspective. She challenges me in all the right ways without ever making me feel misunderstood or invalidated.

I sometimes go into these sessions not knowing what to talk about, convinced that I’m fine and everything is normal. But that never lasts. Dianna is skilled at making a deep and profound conversation out of anything. Nothing is ever just a simple check in. And I love that. As someone who has a hard time making myself the center of attention, I appreciate a therapist that knows how to gently encourage me to open up and take that space. These sessions are making me a better person. Highly recommended.

Dianna is a gifted therapist. Never before have I received the level of support and understanding that she provides. She provides the safe space necessary to have effective counseling. With Dianna, I received tools to manage my situation. She is skilled at assessing circumstances and people so time is never wasted and sessions are always productive. 10/10 all around - Dianna is the BEST!

Dianna is an amazing therapist. She is both kind and gentle but also not afraid to give me the push back that I often need. I am very glad she's been with me during this time of struggle and effort.

Dianna is amazing. We were matched within 24 hours of my joining teencounseling.com, and I haven’t looked back. It will be bittersweet when I graduate from therapy as she has quickly become a close confidant. I trust her completely.

Dianna is one of the best therapists I’ve ever had. After ten months of working together I’m more thrilled than ever about the progress we’ve made, and amazed at her talent and skills as a therapist. I owe so much of my happiness to the work we’ve done.

Written on Jan 19, 2023 after therapy with Dianna for 4 months on issues concerning relationship issues, family conflicts, trauma and abuse, eating disorders, parenting issues, self esteem, anger management, coping with life changes, and adhd

Dianna is absolutely amazing. She helped me pinpoint the roots of key issues I was struggling with and guided me through the process of resolving them. There was a lot of pain and discomfort I had to sit in and feel to get there but Dianna always knew when to dig a little deeper and when to give me the space I needed to process and grieve. She made me feel so safe in our sessions. She’s very easy to open up to and be comfortable with. I would recommend her as a therapist to anyone I know who is genuinely looking to do their work and grow as an individual.

Dianna has been amazing!!! She gives everything to her clients. She is honest when it's hard to hear but needed, helpful, supportive, compassionate and more. She is extremely knowledgeable. I have done counseling before and they also are just there... a listening ear. Dianna is not, she is engaged, brings a wealth of knowledge and wants to help get you to a better place. I am very grateful we found her.

I was lucky enough to be matched with Dianna, and am so grateful. She makes me feel like I am heard and seen. She's very interactive and gives useful feedback and recommendations in how to deal with my concerns. What a blessing she is to me and I'm sure, so many others.

Written on Oct 28, 2022 after therapy with Dianna for 2 weeks on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship issues, family conflicts, trauma and abuse, sleeping disorders, self esteem, and coping with life changes

I have only had two sessions with Diana, and I have opened up and talked more than I ever have with any other therapist. Part of the reason for this is how she leads, asks questions, and tries to cover everything, even what you aren't saying. She is very professional, kind, and understanding. I feel that I will finally get somewhere with her as my therapist.

Written on Oct 21, 2022 after therapy with Dianna for 2 months on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, and relationship issues

Dianna is not only an empathetic and active listener, but she also has an incredible ability to connect the dots, see patterns and relationships, and then provide new perspectives. In just a few sessions, she has given me effective and longlasting tools to manage my emotional responses, and has helped me to untangle some of the most challenging issues that have held me back for a long time. I cannot recommend her highly enough for her warmth, empathy, professionalism, and skills, and will not hesitate to engage her services again.
