About me
My experience working with tweens and teens extends over 15 years as I provided services to youth in a variety of settings (in patient, outpatient, and family therapy) and have achieved positive results in helping teen adjust to family living and College environment. I have provided substance abuse services
and dual diagnoses clinic's and understand the difficulty with the family when they have a family member who is addicted or mentally ill. My dedication really comes out when working with a family in pain as I understand what that feels like as a person and a professional.

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Harry R Gilley. 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.
Harry has been very honest with me. Telling me what needs to be done when i cant seem to understand what the real issues are. Even with all the risks at stake i am willing to do what needs to be done to overcome. Thank you.
I was really a mess before I started therapy, in a few sessions my main issue was under control enough that I could function.
Has helped me out a lot
Harry is a straight shooter and a good teaching therapist. He has tools and is willing to share them.
He is a nice person as well.
Since working with Harry, my partner and I have significantly improved our relationship. We are communicating better, holding onto fewer resentments, and have grown closer.
Harry was good at listening to me and telling me when I was wrong/acted inappropriate. He provided me with worksheets that were appropriate for a problem I was having that needed to be corrected. He was very helpful to me.
Harry is a experienced therapist that was able to help me get back on the path quickly and with dignity. Highly recommend him to anyone seeking assistance with depression.
Thank you for understanding.
Harry has been wonderful to work with over the last few years. He has helped me deal with some very different issues, from addictive tendencies to working through family relationships as well as anxiety issues. He is a wonderful therapist and I could not recommend him more!
Great guy
Great therapist who helped me get into the military and still checks up on me even after we've finished sessions. very helpful and would highly recommend to anyone in need of therapy. I am very happy that he was my therapist and thank him greatly.
Harry was great to work with! We tackled a wide range of issues and Harry was able to help me through them all. Harry did a great job providing resources, as well as practical, very helpful, day-to-day tips on how to apply what we learned to life outside our sessions. 10/10!
Harry is great and very relatable. He is easy to talk too and provides lots of additional reading materials.
Harry was great. Very helpful and compassionate.
Harry is wonderful. He gives me a lot of feedback and he makes me feel like I’m talking to a friend I’ve known for years.
I really wanted to get some anger issues sorted out, learn where it came from and how to deal with it. I've used teen counseling before, but this time I really wanted to tackle this specific problem. Harry was the right person to help me along. He is an expert in anger management and just as importantly can relate to you through his own experiences. He is up front, kind, and caring. I would recommend Harry to any of my friends and am fortunate to have found him. 10/10
Harry is a true professional who cares.
He is an amazing knowledgeable guy and I respect the hell out of him
I signed up for therapy due to some life changes that hit me by surprise. If I had not found Harry I don’t think I would of overcame some of the things I’ve had going on in my life. Thanks to him I am a lot better of coping with things and actually sticking up for myself. He has helped me build confidence and actually
Listens to me ! He’s more of a family member than a Counsler. I highly recommend him ! Thank you !
Harry is the best therapist I have been to. I suffered a loss of my mother and grandmother at a young age (~20s). I truly believe if I did not have Harry in my life, I would be in a very bad place. Harry gives the perfect amount of push to get you out of dark places and times in life. I have had 3 therapists in the past and Harry is worth your time because he CHALLENGES you. He doesn’t let you just slide along without guidance, he gives you challenges to make yourself a better person in the long run (although at times it can be tough - but just keep pushing). I suffer from slight depression and bad anxiety. Life is by no means perfect, but Harry has taught me a lot of coping skills in the 6months of working with him and I no longer have a dark cloud over me at all times. I really can’t thank him enough. He feels like family to me because I can truly tell he cares for me - he is very accommodating too. I will keep working with Harry for months/years ahead, until the day he may retire! Thank you, Harry!
Harry has been a great resource and counselor for both me and my wife over the past several months as we are working through challenges in our marriage. What we both like most about Harry approach with me and my wife, is he brings his own real life experiences and life challenges into the conversation. It really humanizes the counselor and counselee relationship through his examples and lessons learned.
Great guy with insight based on experience.
He’s great, I’ve been helped very much through my contact with him. Thank You
Great counselor Mr.G is. He is patient and is ready to get to business when it comes to helping people.
He takes the time to listen and askes me what my goals are.
Very understandable and easy to talk to.
Harry is great! Really takes the time to listen to you and try to understand what you’re going through. Definitely recommend!
I feel like Harry is both direct and attentive. He understands my issues and challenges me while helping me unravel what’s going on.
Fabulous counselor!
Harry is easy to talk to, his recommendations have been exactly what I needed - I have recommended teen counseling to many friends and family, this is a wonderful way to address emotional health concerns.
Harry has helped me identify problems that I have. Has worked me thru them. I really appreciate him.
Harry tells me what I need to hear the way I need to hear it and it's helped me so much.
I always get a golden nugget out of our sessions!
He really listens to my needs and is very supportive. He makes sure that his patients get all the help they need.
Harry is really professional. He got to the point the first time we talked! He guided me to explore what I really want in my life and my relationship. He helped me find where my true happiness is. I can’t express how grateful I am towards Harry. I’ll miss talking with Harry and wish him all the best!
Great counselor! Very helpful and understanding! Will get him as my counselor again in the future if I need!
Harry had a very professional approach and I appreciated his frequent follow-ups and true care for improving my situation.
He can be strong support from the spiritual perspective what helped me a lot.
Harry is an extremely personable and empathetic counselor, whom I appreciate my re than I can express.
He was great. No more PTSD nightmares.....I can finally sleep through the night. His methods work.
Harry is a great person and therapist. He is very funny and helpful. I would recommend him to others.
He has a lot of experience and he’s listening so well and find solutions that suits you. Thank you a lot.
Great.
Harry is no nonsense and straight to the point-in a kind and compassionate way. I highly recommend working with him! Not only does he listen, he gives the tools needed to attain a lifetime of positive coping with the many issues life will throw at you.
Dr. Gilley is a very attentive in very action forward therapist. I have appreciated all that he's done for me, not only in helping me handle my drugs and alcohol use, but also combating the negative thinking and self-deprecating thoughts which have helped me back and help me in cycles of abuse.
Harry has been extremely helpful in offering solutions regarding my mental health. He supports my decisions and guides me in the most positive direction possible. I think Harry is an amazing therapist and I recommend seeing him.
Expert, and always helpful!
Harry was matched with us, and I am glad that he was. Neither of us had done counseling before and we both enjoyed the experience and would do it again if we needed to. I outlined to Harry the topics of concern and each meeting we touched on a topic. We covered all of the topics that we were hoping for and really got a lot out of it.
I would recommend this program to anyone in distress.
Looking forward to working and continue to work with my counselor
He is attentive and tries his best to understand and relate to things you say. He tries to remember all you’ve previously told him when he talks to a ton of people daily. He’s so helpful.
You can trust this man to provide you with what you need, even if you wish he was giving you what you want. He's been doing this too long to mess around or mince words.
Also, if you (or your SO) have been unfaithful, don't bother with him. That is an unacceptable behavior he does not tolerate. Now good luck, and get better!
Harry was my first counselor I ever had. He is patient, kind, and honest. Harry has helped me fight for my my mental health and my empowerment in the situation I am facing. He is very knowledgeable and has helped me tremendously in my fight. Thank you so much Harry.
Harry is a great listener and therapist! Would recommend him to anyone.
Harry has been a wonderful help in my life. He's helped me through some tough times and is there to raise you up. He doesn't just say what you want to hear. He's a great help in my life.
Harry is like family. He truly came into our life, jumped right in and helped us. He gave us homework to complete which helped us become better communicators. With Harry there was comfort in our conversations. We felt at ease letting him know the whole truth about situations. We truly wanted all he had to offer and he did that. We got married July 13, 2019 thanks to Harry!
So far, Harry is great. He is understanding and personable and has good ideas and thoughts.
I felt an immediate connection with Mr. Harry Gilley. He is very patient, kind and generous with his time. He asked the right questions and offered me the best suggestions to help recognize and deal with my triggers. I will always be grateful for him, his kindness and patience. I highly recommend Harry Gilley.
I don’t know what I would have done without Harry. I was in a super low place and I was not sure what my problems were or how to solve them, but he was able to help me get to the bottom of my problems and work through them. Today I am happy and feeling like myself again. He was so easy to talk to and worked with me whenever I needed him. Even on vacation he took time to call me and talk through whatever I was going through. I would highly recommend him.
I've greatly appreciated my time with Harry. He's offered a convenient and effect way for me to discuss my primary concerns and provided actionable advice to move forward, though according to my own initiative.
When I began working with Mr. Gilley, I was in a desperate, dangerous state. Mr. Gilley was a revelation. He's both quite intelligent and down-to-earth, and he never once tried to forcibly change my way of thinking; rather, he showed me ways to adapt to my psychology, to live peaceably with my authentic self rather than trying to fight myself. Further, his style of counseling is wonderfully "casual", in that sessions with him are about honest conversation that flows both ways. I learned nearly as much about Mr. Gilley as he learned about me, which bred the kind of trust one needs for the kind of intimacy therapy requires. I have progressed to the point where I no longer need therapy, but should I find myself once again in need, I'm going straight back to Mr. Gilley.
I worked with Harry Gilley for six months. He was fantastic to work with and very patient. He really cares for his clients and I would highly recommend him.
Harry is great!
It is great to hv someone to talk to. Sadly I hav been so busy lately, that it has been very difficult to find a moment to start. But that’s why I feel fine, because I know someone is there, waiting to give me a little time when I’ll need it, soon.
I really enjoyed my time thus far with hairy. He makes me feel as if I’m his only client in the world.
Harry has done a great job getting to the root cause.
Experienced and thought provoking!
Wow! What can I say. Short time with him but the amount of genuine guidance and non judgmental view is truly appreciated. Can’t thank him enough for riding the bad storm with us and helping us!
Harry understands what we are trying to accomplish and works well with myself and my spouse to achieve our goals in life and our marriage.
Harry is quite a character but he also doesn’t beat around the bush. He also mentions experiences in his own life to show that he can relate. I appreciate his openness.
I am normally a very private person and have found it difficult with my work schedule to go to traditional counseling. This format is so comfortable, easy, and super convenient. Plus, at times when it is the worst, I have posted comments and he almost always responds instantly! You would never get that in a traditional setting. I actually referred a colleague just today. And when compared to the out of pocket expense of traditional counseling, so much more cost effective. I am convinced this is the way counseling should be and will highly recommend teencounseling.com to anyone interested or in need of counseling for any reason.
Harry has been an outstanding counselor for my husband and me. He is attentive and open to hearing and understanding both sides of our relationship. I appreciate how well he keeps notes and remembers what our goals are in each session. Thank you!
Harry is intelligent, warm, cultured, and very responsive to my needs as a counselor. I
like his easy going and friendly manner and I would recommend his services highly.
Harry has a wonderful, no nonsense approach to counseling that enables him to charmingly cut to the heart of the matter. The clarity he brings to a session allows one to pinpoint "blind spots" quickly with Harry offering succinct and beneficial options to changing one's thought patterns for the better. He is a down to earth character offering honesty and support that only enhances the Tele-Therapy platform.
Harry is a knowledgeable and experienced counselor who has a firm grasp of his practice. He is supportive and insightful and posses the ability to identify issues (both obvious issues and those that may not be apparent) and focus on them appropriately. He will have realistic discussions with this clients, not just tell you what you want to hear. I feel that this is an integral aspect of resolving issues. Thanks, Harry!
He's been an excellent counselor and he has helped me in many ways. I've only spoken with him 3 times so far and he's helped me make quite a few breakthroughs already. I'm very grateful for Harry.
He listens and interjects pertinent information for the help needed. He is kind. He will also remind you of things you need to focus on toward your healing.
Harry has been helpful in listening then asking the challenging questions. From here, you can begin to realize the situation and then improve.
He's very good. Always nice and respectful. He listens and does what he can. If he can't come up with an answer to something he goes to pastors and others in the faith for consultation before getting back to you, and he does get back to you!
In the short time Harry counseled me, I came such a long way. He dug deep into some of the issues I was facing and empowered me to seek some Medical help. He was easy to talk to and so very kind. I highly recommend Harry to anyone facing a difficult road. He is a wealth of knowledge and is compassionate and truly caring.
Harry is a good counselor.
Harry gave me great advice and guidance through a rough patch. He was attentive and relatable. I enjoy our time together.
Harry Gilley is a no-nonsense kind of guy, which is exactly why I like him. He efficiently asks Socratic questions to get to the root of a problem in a diagnostic manner. Once he establishes the genuine problem, he's extremely tactful in his recommendations for bettering your life. The question is not him; it's what you're willing to do to help yourself. He guides you to that with great skill and experience.
Mr. Gilley is very knowledgeable and I believe he is an expert!
Harry is great. He helped me within a very short period of time to fullfill all declared goals. I can strongly recommend Harry.
He’s a nice gentleman with motivational spirit that keeps pushing you forward. He’s motivated to work with his clients and is there at times of stress, he has a non-judgmental approach and a good sense of humor, I strongly recommend him
I started all of this a nervous wreck! Since only speaking with Harry for a little over a week now, I cannot believe the change in my thought process. I’ve been struggling with my issues for over a year and I can NOW finally see the bright side and have a clearer, more innovative approach to what I’m trying to accomplish here. I will forever be grateful for being matched up with Harry! I wish I would’ve done this sooner. He is quick to respond to all of my issues/thoughts. Things are really becoming much more peaceful in my head. Thank you again!
Ever since I started working with Harry my paranoia has decreased, he also helped me to learn not to overthink things that will get me paranoid, I know I have improved since I started working with him and I'm living my life peacefully and with no worry, I highly recommend working with Harry.
Harry has done a great job listening to my wife and I and offering pragmatic tools for improving our communication. I would highly recommend him to any couple that is serious about making their marriage better!
Highly recommend Harry for stress management, relationship issues, career stress and self motivation.
Harry had been very helpful in helping me overcome the hard and depressing time in my life. He always gave me full attention and listened thoroughly and patiently to all my problems before giving me advice, he never rushed. He is very good at breaking down problems in small chunks and helping to take action on each part in a constructive manner. I really liked his way of counseling.
Harry is a great and understanding counselor!
