Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Kenita Perry-Bell. 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.
Working with Kenita has been nothing but a huge delight. When I started I was very scared to open up, but Kenita made me feel comfortable and provided me with a safe space to discuss everything I was feeling. I’ve had her as a therapist for 4-5 months now, and I amazed at the progress I made during that short period of time. Therapy with Kenita has made me overall happier and more hopeful. I came into this experience as a depressed, anxious emotional wreck. I know I am not at the end of my journey, but I know I’ll be even stronger by then. This is probably the best decision I’ve ever made. Thank you Kenita, you are truly amazing.
Absolutely incredible! She changed my life forever. I am forever grateful!
My daughter and I love connecting with Kenita, she understands exactly where we are coming from and suggests the right skills to get us and keep us on track.
Kenita is kind.
Kenita is a super kind and attentive counsellor. I’m very grateful for her help :)
