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.
Dianna is a gift that I truly cherish. At 71 years old the depth to which I buried my pain is carefully being uncovered. Dianna continually amazes me as she remembers in detail experiences I have shared, going way back to when I first began working with her, and insightfully connects them as new remembrances and issues surface, helping me to understand and continue to strive for my healing. She is a blessing and I feel that she truly cares. I trust her completely and feel wrapped in safety.
Dianna is both intentional in the way she listens and the way she responds. She in not careless with words or time.
Dianna is such a great listener and balances support with the tough love I need to hear, but does so with kindness and always consent. She knows I’m action oriented and often offers different things to try so I can regulate or move forward in a relationship. She is timely is replying and encourages me to stay connected between sessions via chat. I love the way she remembers so many details and thoughtfully finds ways to articulate different observations and strategies. She’s a lifeline!
Of course! Here’s a concise and heartfelt review:
My therapist is incredibly kind, understanding, and supportive. Even after just a few sessions, she has helped me acknowledge and understand my anxiety by giving me practical tools and meaningful homework to work on. I truly appreciate her guidance and highly recommend her to anyone seeking a compassionate and effective therapist.
Ten stars for Dianna! She is knowledgeable and personable. I am so grateful to have her as my therapist for nearly two years.
She’s amazing and kind. She’s helped me so much.
You’re awesome
The absolute best. By far. US Army War Veteran and Dianna has become an important part of my life. The best listener. Her feedback makes you feel heard and understood. Communicates in the app effectively and efficiently. SHE IS REALLY THE BEST!! 100 STARS out of 5
We love Dianna and everything she had helped us work through as a couple
She is a great listener and responds well.
The insight Dianna is able to capture and bring out in us is truly a gift. Her understanding and gentleness is healing.
teen counseling is a great website! I have been needing therapy for a while.... When i finally signed up, a therapist found me pretty quickly. And with the understanding that i am here to learn more about myself and how to better be a better human being. I understood that there is a place for me there is a reason and a time for me to share what is most important. I am happy for teen counseling I am happy for the support and i am happy to be growing as a human being! THANK YOU teen counseling!!
AND THANK YOU TO DIANNA!
Dianna has been instrumental in my journey of growth. She has the best advice that I often half-joke that I am going to needle-point on a pillow. Dianna is professional, brilliant, and a kind listener.
She is knowledgeable and makes you feel like you are in a safe and comfortable space. She is able to see both point of views and has great strategies to help bring us together.
(I previously provided a review and I still hold Dianna in the highest regard - she is wonderful in all ways. )
Just amazing so far! Thank you!
Dianna is one of the kindest, compassionate, patient and wise women I have had the pleasure of meeting. She was encouraging, and patient, and could also lovingly challenge me in areas that I could grow in. With still a high level of professionalism, in a unique way, she's become not only a mentor, but a friend.
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
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 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 and offers great insight and suggestions
Dianna is amazing. We were matched within 24 hours of my joining teen counseling, 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.
I like Dianna in that she works to recognize where we need help and how to fix our problems.
Absolutely incredible therapist. Our time with Dianna changed the trajectory of our relationship. We are now back to being loving and trusting partners through Dianna's guidance and support. I can't recommend her enough.
Dianna is amazing! Highly recommend.
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.
I look forward to speaking with Diana at each session. She is so conforting.
Amazing Therapist! Dianna gives you the tools to work though anything! I cannot say enough good things about her! Thank you thank you!
Diana is amazing!
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.
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.
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.
Dianna is such a professional therapist looking into many dynamics of our marriage while giving us tools to work on.
Dianna's been amazing so far. I would highly recommend her and this app to anyone.
