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

John is an incredibly attentive and knowledgeable therapist who has made a significant difference in our relationship. He has helped my husband and me develop effective strategies for addressing both minor and major issues, creating a space where we feel comfortable communicating openly and healthily. John’s approach is honest and impartial, offering guidance without taking sides, which has been invaluable in resolving conflicts. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a therapist who fosters understanding and growth.

He is a great listener and most of all,I feel comfortable talking to him about almost anything,as he talks to me like an actual person,instead of my therapist.

I have never had that before,with any of my previous therapists or psychiatrists,including my current one.

Listens attentively and provides valuable insight.

Written on Sep 23, 2024 after therapy with John for 1 month on issues concerning relationship

John is wise and has many tools and examples to draw upon. A couple of sessions with John have dramatically improved our relationship. My husband, who was dead against therapy, now reminds me to book another session. That's remarkable.

John knows how to give you the floor to express everything you need to. He gives great advice and tends to your exact problem. He also assigns material that hasn’t crossed your mind yet which are perfect solutions. He’s great for keeping it simple and clean and keeps your biggest concerns a priority. My first session with him felt like we were many sessions in already, I’d highly recommend him

Written on Jul 12, 2024 after therapy with John for 6 months on issues concerning relationship

I have been working with John for several months now. I’ve been through some tragedies in that time, he started as my couples therapist and now he is my personal therapist. He’s been there through the thick of everything my partner and I had been through and shows the utmost compassion, respect and reliability, he’s always there waiting for me on screen when I arrive and seems to know just what I need in a session, we’ve built an amazing rapport and I trust him to always be there and he also seems to know what I need out of a session, I’ve searched for years for a therapist I connect with the way I need and I’m so happy I’ve finally found him!

Written on Jun 11, 2024 after therapy with John for 2 months on issues concerning relationship

John has completed turned our marriage around. He listens to both sides, calls us out when needed and gives really valuable tools to help us in between sessions and for the future. We completely trust his expertise and insights. He’s got a wonderful way of easing you into sessions and not making it feel like you’re being assessed all the time. We’re sad to stop the sessions to be honest, but he’s been absolutely worth all of it.

John Brooks is the best. He keeps it honest, and supports choices. He also provides material he thinks would help the client and has a great sense of light humour when needed - which I appreciate in “heavy” times. John is professional, punctual and cares. I’ve gone through about 50 therapists between ages 8 and adulthood. John is the only one I keep wanting to go back to. Super based and has good wisdom and all of this was evident after the first session. 100% recommended.

John is super laid back, experienced with couples and has managed to really engage my husband who typically is resistant to therapy!

I have only had one session, so I can't give a fair assessment yet. I did think the first session was great/very helpful. Looking forward to another one(s).

Written on Aug 31, 2023 after therapy with John for 2 months on issues concerning relationship

John is an approachable, warm and friendly man. He has a great skill in actively listening to you and making you feel important and heard. He is not bias, which is great, as we know, we see the world from our viewpoint very well and not our spouse’s so well sometimes. This coaching enabled us to go deeper and find some answers to help us move forward as a couple. Thanks John. All the best

John is a really cool guy, an excellent human and listener. He gives me tips that are straight to the point and may seem so simple but they are so effective. He listens and I can tell he wants to help and is present for everything and anything I have to say. He is not pushy but offers so many options and things to try out which also gives me hope there are many ways to get better and I didn't just try and already fail at everything. Thank you, John. I appreciate you a lot and feel lucky to have been matched with you.

Work with me!
