These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Julie Elliott. 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 good therapist
Very sweet and understanding
Very helpful and thoughtful. I appreciate her kind words and insight.
Julie has been a life saver and has become a very special person in my life. I struggled alone and really needed someone and she was there. She would check in with me from time to time to see how I was doing if she didn't hear from me. Her care and concern and approach to mental health has helped me immensely. I would recommend Julie to be a safe person to share very personal details with. I never felt judged and she helped me through very sensitive topics. She has been amazing and wonderful.
She is a great counselor and helps my son immensely!
Julie seems to really get us as a couple she is a great facilitator to working through our difficulties and offers great advice
We've worked with Julie for about a month now and she has been a delight. My husband and I are already seeing improvements in our communication skills and overall dynamic. We still have a long ways to go, but Julie provides us with great tools to better equip us towards success. She is patient and non-judgmental, and we look forward to continuing working with her!
Very warm and I look forward to working with her more.
Julie is one of the best therapists I've ever had. She's helped me in so many areas of my life, and I see her also as a life coach. It's rare to find a therapist that can journey with us through many different phases in life, but Julie is that type of therapist. I'm grateful to teencounseling.com for connecting me with her!
I have been working with Julie for over a year now. My time with her has been invaluable. She is calm, patient, insightful & funny. I always feel like Julie genuinely cares about my progress. She's quick to remind me how far I've come, but also holds me accountable when I start to slip back into familiar behaviors. Very grateful to have found her.
Julie has been the most amazing, understanding and non judgemental person to talk to! She was always able to guide me through difficult situations while always staying objective. She challenged me in the most positive and best way possible and really helped me understand myself and my surrounding. Thank you Julie, it was an absolute pleasure to call you my therapist for the last 1.5 years!
Julie has helped me start to heal from a trauma and given me tools to work thru anxiety and focus on my future. Highly recommend Julie!
Julie's kindness and expertise enable her to quickly form a strong bond with her clients. Her non-judgemental approach is genuine.
Julie has provided me with a wealth of knowledge and guidance to support me when I needed it the most. I have tried to heal myself and do as much as I can on my own so it means a lot to me to find a therapist who can really support me on my healing journey.
Julie is helpful, supportive, and listens well. She uses our therapy sessions and worksheets to give me the support I need. I am grateful for her help.
Julie is compassionate and a master of resources. She was able to guide me through a very tough time in my life with wisdom and gentleness while still pushing for growth. I am grateful for her support!
We have only had 1 session with Julie but we are looking forward to making progress with her assistance and guidance. She is very attentive and patient.
Julie is helping me to address my situation in incredibly helpful ways, it’s hard to get through the day sometimes and she has been critical in giving me the tools to hold my self up As steady as possible
I've seen Julie Elliott for a few sessions now. She is calming to speak to and very non-judgmental, which was important to me. I feel like she offers a balanced perspective and gives me space to share my own perspective and experiences. It felt very therapeutic to share my experiences and regrets with someone and feel like she still saw good in me and was supporting me to bridge the gap between how I have been and how I'd like to live.
Julie is a great listener, and comes from a place of compassion! I look forward to getting to know either more. Here handouts she provides are AMAZING! Bottom line…I have to do the work.
julie has been a wonderful therapist. Sha has listened, responded and offered real suggestions for how we interact together. it has made a difference in our marriage!
Julie is amazing. My wife and I committed to 8 weeks of therapy as a last-ditch effort to save our marriage. We’re now 3 months into our sessions with Julie, and we are stronger than we have ever been. Julie has given us so many tools, and she checks in on us throughout the week. She has a way of being so straightforward with what she sees and pinpoints exactly what strategies we need to work on in order to strengthen our relationship. We were struggling to blend our families, struggling with trust, we were over-sharing our conflicts with family and friends, fighting and running out every two days. We really thought Julie would tell us we shouldn’t be together, and instead she helped us find each other again, and she continues helping us bring the best out of each other. Every aspect of our lives has improved over the past few months- not just our relationship with each other but all the relationships in our lives. I don’t foresee a time where we plan on ending our sessions with Julie, now!
She is really a nice person.
Julie is a great listener and I feel very comfortable talking to her.
Julie made me feel heard and understood. She always made time for me if I was struggling between our sessions
Julie has been a great therapist in my healing journey, thank you!
Attention to detail and understanding. Cannot wait for the next session.
Julie understands your issues right away and immediately sets about dealing with those issues. She gets right to the point. I like that.
I’ve been working with Julie since March (6 months ago) and there aren’t enough words to express how thankful I am to have her as a therapist. She has been wonderful throughout and I highly recommend her to anyone willing to do the work to get to where they want to go. Julie is incredibly professional, personable, attentive, intuitive, well spoken, and accommodating. I find it incredibly easy to talk with her, to confide in her, and to listen to her. The perspectives that she offer in our sessions have become tools for me on a day to day basis and I find them invaluable. A thousand thank you’s Julie!
I find Julie very open ,honest and very constructive in her approach with dealing with my problems and feel at ease asking any questions.Julie has been a great support for me .
Julie has been a wonderful therapist so far, I feel heard and guided in the right direction. Would strongly recommend her to anyone.
I have had 2 sessions with Julie and she is amazing. Always sends helpful handouts to read. I love that teen counseling is a therapy option
Julie is great. She understands my problems and gives me tools to utilize. Exactly what I was hoping for!
Julie Elliott is awesome!
Julie is a fantastic person to work with. She's helped me so much with historical childhood trauma and managing depression and anxiety. I can not remember when I last felt this good and genuinely positivity about life.
She listens love her i may rant she still listen always there
Julie exhibits kindness and understanding and is teaching me coping skills that I hope to improve on.
Julie has helped me so much in healing my trauma and creating an even better life for myself. I would highly recommend her to anyone seeking help with resolving, trauma, PTSD, and anxiety.
I’ve been working with Mrs. Elliott since the beginning of the year. I was in a pretty rough spot with a recent loss and a problem controlling my emotions and anger around my family. To be truthful, I’m not too sure I’d still have a family without Julie’s help. She has a nonjudgmental and empathetic approach to counseling. Her insights and guidance have really helped me grow as a person and has improved my relationship with my wife and my daughter. I am very fortunate to have worked with her.
Julie is obviously experienced in her field, but she is also a great ally. I feel supported, and know I can tell her anything!
Julie is great to work with! She makes sure to celebrate my progress and makes me feel comfortable. I look forward to our sessions and feel like she is helping me to become the best version of myself.
Julie is patient kind,empathetic and a great listener. She says her opinion with honestly which is very important to me and is obviously skilled in her work but is open to grow her knowledge for her patients. I feel empowered to participate in my treatment and speak my mind. Therapy with her has helped me so much to understand myself and build a better life after trauma.
Julie has been incredible!
She's awesome, thats all i can say.
My sessions with Julie helped me greatly in understanding my current state, why I react in a certain way to certain triggers. Julie is very patient, empathetic, listens without judgement and shares her professional insight in a way that's easy to comprehend. She also asks questions about my situation that immediately helped myself and my actions better. The information and worksheets she sent me provided some great and constructive points, directly related to my issues, as well as advice on how to handle them and improve gradually. I would absolutely recommend her services to another person!
Julie is a very understanding and gifted therapist, I have had an incredibly safe environment to express myself and find out who I am.
I highly recommend her to anyone who is in need of therapy or mental help!
Thank you Julie
Julie is really attentive and I could tell that two sessions in she was already connecting dots and helping me reach conclusions I was struggling to reach by myself. She didn't hesitate to tell me what I needed to hear. She asks all the right questions and expertly guides our discussions. I'm really lucky to have connected with her.
I enjoy working with Julie, she is knowledgeable and compassionate. I feel safe, heard and knowing I have her to talk with each week gives me confidences and peace.
Julie has been fantastic she’s heard me out but kicked me in the butt to get things done which I really need. She makes me feel valid and optimistic about my future. I would highly recommend her.
I really like Julie. She is very approachable and never judges me for whatever I say. She uses a lot of sayings and metaphors that help me understand problems and work through them. She also is willing to tell it to me straight if I am not getting it
We have been seeing Julie for a few months now and we are the strongest we have been over our 4 years together. We have learned to communicate, have more respect for each other and are learning ways to fight/cope with stress in a healthy way. Julie has completed changed our relationship and we are eternally grateful!
Julie is a good listener full of empathy. Talking to her helped realized a lot of things about myself and is helping me moving forward in my battle against anxiety and depression. Thanks Julie for being available and kind!
Thoughtful, knowledgeable and a wonderful support
I had a great session with Julie. I felt that she asked excellent questions and had really good feedback. She was good at flowing with the conversation, going deeper when I was able to be more vulnerable and keeping a comfortable, real, intellectual conversation when I was more in my head.
Julie has been beyond excellent.
I had my doubts about teencounseling.com as the first counselor I was paired with didn't seem to engage with me as I was expecting, but after being switched to Julie I now see the potential of this service.
Julie has offered a bunch of support through messages, worksheets, and video sessions, and I have felt she has adjusted her methods to suit me in a very comforting and patient manner.
I was doubtful I would get much from a counseling service but I have been thankfully been proven incorrect.
Thanks Julie!
Julie is excellent at listening to the problems and sharing helpful recommendations to address our marriage situation. She has exceeded our expectations so far.
Thank you Julie for your time thus far. We have learned a lot from our sessions with and appreciate all the guidance.
Thank u for hearing me out.
Working with Julie was a very positive experience for me. She was always available and responded quickly. She also remembered many things I told her and would check in on specific things we had talked about. I would recommend Julie to anyone.
Julie is a compassionate and thoughtful therapist that is able to provide meaningful online counseling even though the challenges of the pandemic.
This has been my first therapy experience and I am really happy that I was matched with Julie. I could tell that she was really paying attention to all of the information I shared with her in our voice sessions and in the chat. She made it easy to schedule appointments and always responded promptly. In just a month's time she was able to share with me a lot of info and advice pertinent to my situation and tools to help me going forward. If I decide to sign up for more counseling in the future, I would definitely want to work with Julie again.
This experience has been awesome so far
Julie is very understanding and helped me understand the issues in a clear way. She has a very good ability to remove the fog and had me see the core problem at hand.
Julie has been great at understanding my intentions for reaching out for help. Even though we are on different time zones in different countries she is efficient at responding and attending our video calls. Throughly enjoying the worksheets she has set out for me as I respond well to writing down information and this will help me further on my healing journey.
Look forward to continuing to work with Julie.
Julie is a kind, responsive, non-judgmental and trauma-informed therapist who meets her clients where they are. We are grateful to have been connected with her and are finding the sessions really helpful in supporting ongoing healthy communication and coping with life challenges.
