Reviews

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

Very respectful very understanding a God fearing women with so much wisdom Dr Ellason is all of that and so much more she's an awesome therapist to have. With this being me and my husband's first time in therapy she made it a breeze and made us both feel welcomed.

I've been doing EMDR and guided imagery with Dr. Ellason for a few months now and the treatments have really helped me overcome my traumas. I am so thankful for all the help provided and the many ways she has helped me cope. She is a very nice person who constantly gives positive affirmations and really cares about my well-being.

Dr. Ellason has a very calming and open personality. She has been helping my daughter in a great way in just one session.
