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

Jamie Blakeman has been very professional, friendly, easy to talk to, and timely in her therapy sessions with our teen age daughter as well as when speaking to us(Mom and dad of teen daughter). She offers ways to cope with anxiety depression and CBT techniques that seem to be helping our daughter in that she hasn’t been negative about her therapy sessions and seems to look forward to scheduling the next week’s follow up session with Jamie Blakeman. So far, it’s been only two professional sessions but we already see that our daughter is comfortable and content with continuing treatment online with Jamie. We appreciate this online therapy platform for choosing Jamie to work with our daughter.
