Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Francesca O'Connor. 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.
Francesca is personable and easygoing and I would recommend her to everyone.
Francesca is a wonderful therapist! She's a great listener and helps me identify things I can work on to be my best self.
amazing therapist has helped in many ways
Francesca O'Connor is a great Therapist who listens to your concerns and helps you find ways to get through the issues you have. The key is to be totally honest about what is happening with you so Francesca can help you. I highly recommend Francesca as a Therapist!
Francesca is changing the course of my family's future by being the first professional to hear my daily challenges and difficulties and shifting my focus to the here and now despite the work I need to do and helping me feel less afraid in the process.
Francesca is great! She knows exactly where to start with the challenges I present and is very action oriented. She checks in with me so I know that she is sincere and cares.I appreciate her guidance, knowledge and dedication.
Francesca is an absolute answer to prayer! She listens, asks questions, gives good advice, makes pertinent suggestions. I am so happy to have my weekly sessions with her,
Ms. Francesca has been a breath of fresh air. I truly appreciate her and her wisdom. She challenges me to think differently and look at things in a different way. She takes her time and is very gentle but brutally honest about her observation regarding me.
She is amazing at calling me on my problem and guiding me through the feeling I have
Love, Love, Love her. She is amazing. She is a great listener and explains topics very well. I feel like a new person every time I finish a session with her because she helps me understand so much about myself and want to keep bettering. Truly a great experience to have her as my therapist!!!
Francesca is amazing! Very professional and easy to talk too. Her communication knowledge is proficient and I am glad she is my therapist.
She is very sweet. She always makes sure that I feel safe and respected and I never feel judged. I feel happy knowing I have such a supportive person backing me up!
Love our therapist, she’s amazing.
I’ve only had two sessions with her so far but both times have been very informative and helped me a lot - she has given me so many different things to think about and read on in regards to the situation I am going through. She’s also such a great listener and has been so kind to me. I’m really thankful to her!
She has actively helped me grow into a better person. Through her kind words and insights I have been able to see what’s best for me and my mental health.
She's respectful and kind, and responds in a timely manner. I've only had her for a little while, but I enjoy talking to her.
I have only met with Francesca a few times and she gets me and has a fresh and kind way of helping me understand how I can help myself be a better person. She is very human and not stiff the way some therapist have been in the past. It is more like a conversation with a really smart, non-judgmental friend who is not afraid to ask tough questions to prompt me to think deeper and believe more in myself.
Francesca is the best! She is so patient and helps me to work through issues by asking just the right questions.
Francesca is exactly what I need in a therapist. She listens more than she speaks. But when she speaks it makes so much sense and helps a lot. She’s not there to judge you and she is easy to open up to.
Francesca is amazing, I feel a strong connection with her - she is empathetic, a wonderful active listener and ask thought Leo idling questions as well as provides guidance to help identify and work thru opportunities. Francesca is 10 out of 10 and I’ve already recommended her to people I’ve shared with. Our sessions have been amazing and I’m grateful for this experience to do the work and grown into a healthy version of myself.
I had a wonderful experience with Francesca. I’m in disbelief of how much progress I made in such a short amount of time with her!! Her knowledge and her ability to genuinely care to help is truly special, and I would recommend her to anyone I know looking for help. She made me feel very comfortable from the beginning that I had no trouble opening up to her, she’s a great listener, patient and honest, all qualities of a great therapist. Im extremely grateful for her help and would 100% recommend!!
Francesca is a really great listener and does her job very well.
This review is long overdue. Sought out betterment for relationship trouble, specifically communication issues with my GF. Am so grateful to have been paired with Francesca, who's as knowledgeable as she is warm hearted. Finished therapy with Francesca in January and can say my GF agrees our communication has improved; I gained better frameworks and understanding of using "I" statements to convey thoughts and opinions. Thank you Francesca!
She is knowledgeable and caring, and allows me to express freely without fear of judgment.
From the second session she already have given me a breakthrough of understanding my issues.
Francesca is professional and understanding. It’s my first experience and she made it comfortable talking about my issues and trauma. She guides me to a better level of thinking and I couldn’t be more thankful. I highly recommend her.
I had two calls with Francesca and she's helping me to unpack trauma from my past. She's lovely, and she made me feel comfortable talking to her from the first minute. She's understanding and peaceful. Highly recommend!
She has helped me with my anxiety, ADHD, depression, and controlling my emotions! She offers good exercises and techniques and they helped! I improved a lot when i first had therapy sessions with her!
I finally have someone I can be my true self with. She notices when I am holding myself back from feeling my emotions. She listens. That’s important to me.
Francesca is a very intentional and helpful therapist. She makes her approach clear from the beginning and shares valuable techniques and resources. This is my first time trying therapy and I feel very lucky to be working with her.
Francesca provides the perfect balance of theory and action: her knowledge helps to define the path and her warmth and enthusiasm supports during walking the path. This combination is highly effective, that's the shortest therapy period I've been to :)
Also I feel and we agreed on that if I need further support, she is here.
I had trust issues, but somehow with Francesca it was not a problem - she creates and supports the feeling of a safe space which is so helpful during therapy.
Whether we worked using teen counseling worksheets or discussed articles/books related to my problems, I felt that I'm provided with information and tips that I lacked for so long.
It was wonderful to trust Francesca's vast experience and learn that I'm not alone in my difficult situation, many people have been through something like this and they succeeded in making their life better and positive-oriented.
I want to say a huge thank you to Francesca for her diligent and thorough approach. After the therapy I feel supported, calm and well armed against life difficulties)
Francesca has helped me express and challenge ways of thinking that I didn't know I had. She is lively, honest, and true to her values. Would recommend if your therapy style is receiving a lot of feedback on your thoughts and opinions.
So far it’s been great 2 weeks in!
I’ve been trying to find a great therapist for a long time and look no further she is it. I was in a bad place and now I’m better than ever!
I recommend Francesca! She helped me work on boundaries, better understand my goals and how to achieve them. She is understanding and easy to open up to.
Francesca is clear and calm in listening to me and asking questions that guide me in my own awareness and better understanding of myself and my life story. She is someone who always makes me feel less stressed after our sessions than before!
Francesca is a very thoughtful and caring Therapist. She is a well-experienced therapist who can guide you on your therapy journey. I have made so much progress with her, and she always provides the best guidance based on my values and thoughts!
Francesca has worked with my son for the last 5 months and has helped him tremendously! She also recommends exercises for him and gives me updates on things that could help my sons ADHD/Anxiety. She’s changed my sons life and I appreciate her so much for that!
What I appreciate about Francesca is she makes sure to build a rapport with her client to establish that sense of security for me to open up to her without judgment and I think that is important especially when it comes to unearthing traumas that most people tend to shy away from discussing including myself.
Very kind and professional, definitely gave me some clarity on things. Highly recommend!
Feel very comfortable with Francesca
I felt genuine care from Francesca. She made me feel safe and comfortable to open up; I did not feel judged at any point, and I believe she truly cared about my well-being, I would highly recommend Francesca to anyone looking for help on their journey.
Francesca is very nice
Francesca is an excellent motivator and is so adept at helping you figure out what is holding you back in life. Be it trauma, negative thoughts or life adversities. I love that she gives me a space to talk but also gives me solid guidance and I leave a session feeling like my issues are slowly resolving. While I appreciate counselors who give me space to talk the whole time, I definitely prefer having someone like Francesca who actually engages in a subtle form of collaborative problem solving. Very happy to have her as my counsellor!
She helped me when I had hit a low point, and made me want to do better
Francesca is currently supporting my son. She came across really lovely from day one which helped my son to accept the idea of having a therapy . My son likes her and I find her professional and supportive.
She’s amazing
I feel heard, she encourages me to use my voice, I feel safe during our sessions to express myself.
I was very pleased to see that she was able to see where we where struggling and has given us the advise need in supporting our growth as a couple Thankyou Francesca !
I did two sessions with Francesca and I think she was lovely . She helped me explore what my deep rooted causes for concern were and helped me find ways to deal with them. She followed up with my progress and checked up on me
Well spoken & knowledgeful.
I’m very satisfied and plan to continue with my therapist for the long haul.
