Reviews

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Dr. Jennifer Cowen. 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.

Dr. Cowen is very attentive and compassionate. Both my 13 y/o granddaughter and I feel very comfortable discussing sensitive issues. Her inquiries are delivered with sensitivity and just enough directness that you are open, trusting and forthright with your responses. We really look forward to each session, and am already feeling a great sense of relief knowing that she'll continue to help, guide, and give us tools needed to cope and work thru our issues. Love her!

She is very great. Listen carefully and understand the situation. She is responsive and check on me on regular basis. I appreciate her honesty and she ask good questions to either acquire more information or bring awareness to me in a situation

I can tell by talking to Dr. Cowen for a couple of sessions now that she is very talented. If you want someone to listen to you, hear you out and work on the issues that you are having a hard time with she is the person you want to talk to. 10/10

I really admire Dr. Cowen as she has been very attentive to my needs and my goals. She deserved more recognition for her expertise and the quality of therapy she provides.
