Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Monica Alvarez. 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.
Monica is professional, knowledgeable, kind and reliable as a therapist. She is very flexible as well. I consider her to be very realistic with goal setting and always guides me to reach my goals even through set backs. I have seen here for some months now and I can’t recommend her enough. I am most comfortable with the fact that I can conduct my therapy in a bilingual manner; in Spanish and English.
She is timely, and is very respectful. Our daughter really enjoys her time with her.
It is great. First person I was paired with did not work out. Doc Alverez is amazing.
