Reviews

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

Consistent positive feedback and I see positive changes in my teen. My teen loves working with Meera, I am happy that she gets help where I am not able to give it. Could not ask for more

I was always skeptical about therapy, but I finally decided to take the step, and I can honestly say that even in this short time, it has helped me tremendously. Meera makes it so easy to open up and see things from a new perspective. She has helped me heal from past experiences that I held onto for years or never fully processed. I look forward to each session and feel excited knowing that, through my conversations with Meera, I can continue to work through my past and become the best version of myself.

Work with me!
