Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Prof. Michael McGaugh. 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 kind and patient manner, accepted my daughter's reluctance to try immersion therapy. I am sorry that she didn't want to pursue therapy at this point.
We had a great experience with teen counseling and Prof. McGaugh! He was kind, compassionate, and straight to the point! I was very pleased when he got my quiet husband to open up! He shares his thoughts and feelings much more now! Thank you!
Prof McGaugh did a good job helping guide us in learning to function more effectively after infidelity.
Prof. McGaugh is a wonderful therapist. It was a pleasure working on things with his guidance . I can highly recommend him and his expertise!
Prof McGaugh has really helped both of us in our relationship quickly breaking down our issues and giving us more perspective of things we can do to improve them
Very good listener, thoughtful and honest. He has been helping me a lot
He's been a great listening ear and communicates without judgement. He offers thought provoking questions and has really helped my wife and I.
Mike is excellent
Mike is an amazing therapist. He is someone who listens closely and openly to both people and then really gets to the core of the issue in a non-judgmental way that leaves you feeling heard and seen and understood. He also offers valuable insight and provides actionable suggestions on how to break destructive patterns of behavior. We can’t imagine a better therapist to help us navigate our relationship.
Professor mcgaugh listens attently injects wisdom and guidance throughout the conversation and is supportive of me. He is kind and patient man and builds me up with his kind words. I have had a rough time recently and the proffessor has been there supporting me throughout. He is always available leaves messages when he can and I would really recommend him to anyone. His knowledge base is vast and I’ve had a lot of different kinds of conversations with him all therapeutic as he always supports and encourages me. As someone who has a hard time just being myself I find the professor has helped me grow in the short time I have been talking to him. Definitely recommend. Wonderful person great listener great psychologist .
Mike has helped ask some really great questions, and offered some great perspectives, all which have given me a lot to help find my own path, and helped give me a more grounded and fulfilling life.
He is on time, listens and gives me good direction towards being a better version of myself.
My mental health is healing well thanks to his compassionate ear and useful tools.
It has been 8 months since we started therapy with Prof. Mike, and I'm willing to continue. I would like to say that you have been a great help, listening and understanding, directing and influencing the way I think and perceive things, showing me different perspectives that I wouldn't maybe be able to explore on my own. Thanks for being always flexible, responsive, and available... no matter at what time my outbursts and breakdowns strike!
Prof. McGaugh was amazing and instrumental in process of healing during this time. He is very kind, patient, gentle and sincere. I would recommend him anytime and to anyone.
Mike McGaugh has been nothing but a professional and a scholar since I met him months ago
He’s the first person in my 20 years of life that told me the things I needed to hear
Mike McGaugh is the man you would want to comfort when you’re at your lowest
My only regret is missing today’s session because I know I would’ve gained something from it
Mike has been a great help in my mental health journey. His advice and insight has allow me to work through my struggles and know that someone is working with me to be stronger.
Thank you for being so communicative and listening to me. The support you give is great
Michael is a great person and a professional who has helped me make important steps to improve my life.
I've been seeing Prof. McGaugh for several weeks now and I can already tell that he's going to be a major help to me. He is incredibly easy to talk with and I always look towards our sessions.
I have been in therapy with Professor McGaugh for several months now and the help he has given me has been invaluable. With his support and guidance I have been able to understand the different aspects of the particular problems I face and therefore the best ways to get through them. He is patient, compassionate and very easy to talk to. Many thanks for all.
I have only had two sessions but so far I really enjoy speaking with Prof. McGaugh. He seems knowledgeable and competent.
Thx
He’s very caring and looks at both sides for couples… has good suggestion of what to work on for individuals involved.
Easy to contact n prompt with replies.
Prof. McGaugh is a wonderful therapist who has the ability to respect both partners in the relationship. A man with few words, but words that say so much. You will always feel heard by him.
Great Doctor.
Therapy has helped me a lot . It’s great to have someone to talk about problems we cannot always solve on our own. I’m really thankful for this service.
Michael is a wonderful therapist and has been extremely helpful to my family during a long and difficult series of life events
Prof. Mike is very helpful.
Great sessions and support throughout the therapy journey
Mike is sensitive and yet direct. He takes both of our perspectives into account. He thinks before speaking and considers our input, and is open to changing his mind, even as he gives his professional opinions in a jargon-free fashion.
Great, really easy to talk to
So far Professor Mike McGaugh has been very understanding. I feel as if i am not being judged for who i am. He is also showing me the reality if my situations and experiences which makes me feel validated. I have been learning more about what to do with my emotions than i ever could on my own. Thank you Mike and teen counseling for this opportunity.
