Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Dr. Paula Ehrmantraut. 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.
She is a great therapist. I’ve talked with her only a couple of times but feel confident that she can help me wade through my situation.
She is very understanding and gave me actionable steps to move forward. I appreciate her and would definitely recommend her as a therapist!
Dr. Ehrmantraut, is very approachable, knowledgeable and a great listener.
Visiting with Dr. Paula is really the first time I have ever really addressed my inner feelings to anyone about my sexuality and she makes me feel "normal". She provides a safe space to talk openly and she really understands where I'm coming from and presents choices that are open to me in going forward. We talk about consequences of decisions I could make and outcomes of those decisions. I can't express how it feels to finally talk freely about the secrets I have guarded about myself my whole life.
I cannot recommend anyone more highly than Dr. Ehrmantraut. She is intuitive, knowledgeable, and compassionate. Through our sessions, she helped us build a stronger and more understanding relationship. She has taught me to take new perspectives to understand and solve problems. I leave every session with a better idea of how to continuously grow our relationship. It is a pure joy working with her.
Dr Paula has been a great therapist for me. She was readily available when I needed her. She was supportive of me and my partner and I thoroughly enjoyed her as my therapist.
She has been understanding, I intuitive and insightful. Highly recommend and I am grateful for our experience thus far.
Dr. Ehrmantraut has completely helped me at every turn in my required council. During this disruptive time in my life I am put at ease through her listening skills and her advice to heal. Thank You Dr Paula!
Dr. Paula is very welcoming and easy to talk to. She’s compassionate and helpful. I highly recommend her.
"Dr. Ehrmantraut has been extremely supportive and has made herself quite available to help us in what has been a very difficult time. My socially anxious teenager may have never gone to a therapist in person, and meeting with her virtually was such an advantage! She has been patient and responsive, and has spent as much time chatting/messaging with me as she has supporting my son. It has been so nice to feel that I have another adult on my team as I try to help him."
Dr. Ehrmantraut is available, but not overbearing. She will hear you out and knows when to offer a solution, and when to simply listen. I trust her and appreciate her for the empathy and expertise she shows in her approach.
Dr Ehrmantraut was a wonderful resource to me during a very stressful event in my life. She was timely in her responses and really seemed to care about me as a human. I would highly recommend her to anyone needing help.
Super good at her job
I felt like she did a great job understanding our needs and making practical suggestions to help resolve conflict. Thank you!
With her guidance our relationship has become stronger.
