Reviews

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

Written on Feb 15, 2024 after therapy with Noella for 3 months on issues concerning relationship

After almost 20 years of marriage we realized we needed some help. Noella helped us identify some past trauma (though we didn't think we had any major issues at first glance) we learned that we both had things from the past that made us feel triggered. She also helped us see that we were triggering each other. Noella helped us identify our communication issues and she gave us practical suggestions for how we could relate to one another in a more productive way. She helped us to learn that though we were trying to help each other it was not received as help because everyone receives help differently. She is great at listening and identifying the root cause of your issues. She helped save our marriage and we will come back to her if, or when, we feel stuck again. We recommend her to everyone.

Noella has been great. She has worked for my child and we have seen improvements. If there are concerns or observations that I have about my child Noella is able to address them when they meet. My child truly enjoys and looks forward to thier discussions and actively uses the tools provided during sessions. We would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for assistance for thier teen.

Noella listens and is very knowledgeable about how to directly connect with any topic at hand. She has a way of understanding what your needs are without you overly explaining yourself. I really love my therapist. She's amazing!
