About me
Hey, I would like to introduce myself, I am Philip and have a lot of experience with young people. My life before counseling was the life of a teacher school administrator. I worked as a school counselor and now enjoy addressing the needs younger people bring to a session. I always approach counseling from a developmental approach I possess a practiced knowledge of the development stages of young people. Brain development is key to understanding anyone but absolutely vital in working with children and teens.
I am looking forward to working with people who have such a bright future and being a part of that is really exciting.
See you soon,
Philip

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Philip Nicholas. 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.
He’s the best therapist I’ve ever had. Just awesome! Caring, attentive, great at partnering with me in helping me set and achieve goals.
Phillip is genuinely a great therapist and I feel heard and seen when I have sessions with him.
He allows me to talk freely, without judgement or shame. He tries different worksheets to have a better understanding of where I am, I am very happy to be one of his clients. He's helping me tremendously.
Phil is a great therapist! We are so happy we got matched with Phil !
The first therapist I've really felt connected with. Very supportive of my needs. His approach helps me relax and build a greater relationship with God.
Philip is kind and caring and everything I could ask for out of a therapist and friend
Dr. Philip has been valuable to help me work through my grief of loosing my husband. He has also helped me with things in my relationship with my husband that is damaging to my current life and trust being one of those
Phillip is an amazing person. Every section I get something positive from him that I can apply to my life. I walk out side and able to breathe again without it being heavy for my his spirit is amazing and after every section he pray the word of God I highly recommend Mr Phillip to anyone. I’m sure my husband would as well.
Great guy, highly recommend.
Phillip is great. I feel comfortable talking to him about my issues and he offers many ways to combat them.
Very good listener, and I like the fact that he uses his world experience to help I identify with the person he’s talking with him to help his patients to work through whatever it is, they’re dealing with.

Philip is AMAZING!! I can't begin to explain how much he has helped me. He has been a huge part in changing my life for the better. The conversations we have had and tools he has equipped me with mean so much to me and I will apply them daily for the rest of my life!!
I am truly blessed to have Philip in my life, with his understanding, and kind heart. His ability to allow me a safe spot to feel comfortable enough to open up was amazing. And his experience in dealing with addiction , give him a unique insight into my life as well. An amazing resource who is always there for you.
I love him so much he met me in a hard point in my life I have grown so much through his help
Therapy with Philip has been very successful for me so far. I feel his professionalism and listening skills are superior to the therapists I have worked with. His method of being supportive has helped me make great progress through a job change, a divorce, and the loss of my father. I would recommend Philip to anyone looking for an excellent skillful therapist.
He is great at listening. He offers great content and good advice/recommendations. I am glad that I have a wiser therapist to talk through things.
Phillip is great! He really cares about his clients. He often checks on me just to see how I’m doing!
A great person to talk to and has helped me out a lot
Great therapist. Definitely knows what he is doing and is a amazing guy.
Phillip is very patient and helpful.
Phillip has been awesome. He helped us tremendously in a very short period of time.
Philip makes me feel heard, safe, and encouraged. He is a great listener, he is sensitive to my feelings, and he prays with me, which is very important to me. God connects people in perfect timing.
Mr. Philip is a very good therapist. He listens and gives great feedback, advice and is honest. I would recommend him to anyone looking to strengthen their relationships!
Philip has been great for our teenage adopted boys age 13 & 15. Highly recommend.

I have very much enjoyed and feel that theteen counseling platform is great, offers multiple avenues to gain connection,help and multiple resources.
I love Philip. His guidance and support for me have helped me grow so much in the past year.
Creates a very calming space.
A very good therapist that has become a very good friend.
Incredible
Phillip is a very good listener and offers relevant feedback.
Before starting therapy with Philip, I was pretty nervous seeing how I'd never spoken to anyone other than close friends or family about my personal life. Because Philip is such a kind person, I opened up a lot more than I thought I would in our first session. I appreciate your help Philip and look forward to our future meetings. Thank you
Philip is amazing. He listens, encourages, and genuinely seems to care.
Philip is a gift, this is my first time doing therapy and would not trade it for the world. The growth and closure he’s supported have been priceless. Thank you.
Philip is clearly kind, compassionate, empathetic and he truly understands my issues. He contributes and offers gracious insight and guidance that helps me better understand myself. He has my gratitude and my thanks.
Phillip sees me.
I appreciate that.
He listens and shares, it feels like a conversation and after I always feel lighter.
I’m excited about the journey and have joy working with him because I’m feeling better than I have in a long time.
Very helpful and encouraging. Listens and helps apply Biblical scriptures to help and encourage. Highly recommended!
Philip is a wonderful therapist with lots of experience in education and understanding adolescence behaviors. I think he is really helping my son and for that I’m extremely thankful!
Philip is WONDERFUL. He is such an amazing listener, he is so talented & gifted, and he is so compassionate, caring and personal. I COULD NOT have chosen a better therapist myself.
Philip is an excellent therapist who is a wonderful listener and who has much wise advice and wisdom to share. I never felt neglected or misunderstood. It was almost as if I was talking to a close friend. Philip always made sure I shared what I needed to share and was very understanding and patient.
Excellent therapist. Trustworthy and reliable.
Philip has been great. At times i don't even know where to start and Philip would suggest something that would hit the spot and exactly what I needed to talk about. He has given me great set to tools to handle my issues. And is always available to help
Mr.philip, has been a great help! As most would like to think...an outside perspective or second opinion is always an option especially from someone who is neutral to any situation but has expertise in such. After describing in specific detail so therapist can advise or direct an individual on how to handle the situation and point out errors that may have been the negative point or start of negative energy,plus give you self assessment and exercise assignments to better yourself and situations if applied by client...it really has been tough but as for now they've been working for me.thanks Mr Philip.
Sincerely, Vincent Quick
I love my therapist, I just wish their were other paying options such as using insurances
Philip is amazing!
Phillip is great. I have really enjoyed the sessions so far and have received a lot of great advice.
Phil has been great! He responds to my messages and our video calls are wonderful. He listens and then hears what I'm really trying to say in such a kind and understanding way. The worksheets he's recommended for me have been spot on to what I need to work on. I am forever thankful for teen counseling and Phil.
Very good match
Philip has been available for me while making big decisions in my life. I appreciate his patients while I ramble not making any sense whatsoever.
Philip has helped me so much over the past few months and really listens to me then makes thoughtful recommendations or shares resources/experiences to help me through my situation. He has also taught me many techniques to practice mindfulness and meditation to relieve my anxiety. I would highly recommend him to anyone who’s ready to receive help!
Phillip has been a wonderful resource for me over the last year! I have made so many improvements and I know his support has been a big contribution. He's attentive, easy to talk to, and genuinely cares. I'm so happy to have been matched with him and appreciate all the helps he's provided
Has been a HUGE help
Great!
He has been beyond amazing and extremely helpful for my anxiety.
Philip is a genuinely kind person whose main interest is to help people. He listens without judgment and gives sound advice . He always has such insightful suggestions when it comes to learning to parent adult children. This has been helpful with my current situation. Philip has been a tremendous help in assisting me to get out of feeling stuck in a low place. My depression and anxiety are lessened and I attribute this to FINALLY being able to get sound therapy with such easy access. He always answers and responds in a timely manner when I feel the need to vent during the week. This has been extremely beneficial to me. I am so glad I found teen counseling and connected with Philip.
Philip is easy to talk to. He's a good listener and helps direct the conversation in a helpful way. He's encouraging, respectful, and relates well. I appreciate his candidness and guidance.
Philip is a nice, caring therapist who brings levity to every situation. My time with him has been great.
Philip has been great thus far. I am looking forward to working with him in the future.
He’s a great counselor and a great friend too. I’m thankful for him.
I feel heard, understood and respected. My issues don't feel so weighty anymore and I can see light at the end of the tunnel with the help of Philip
Phillip helps me gain insight into myself, and helps me set goals related to self care. He is compassionate and patient. I highly recommend him.
He is a wonderful counselor. I would highly recommend him to anyone.
Philip really listens to me and offers great solutions for problems - he is a joy to have on my side. If you get a chance to work with him, please do, because you won’t regret it.
Philip is warm, authoritative, kind, patient, and non-judgmental. I feel lucky to have been paired with him.
Very helpful, easy to talk to. Seems very genuine and seems to truly care about helping me with my issues.
My daughter imploded during her first semester at college The pandemic threw challenges that complicated the normal college stresses- living in isolation, virtual classes. After unsuccessfully searching for in-person counseling, we finally found teen counseling and Mr. Nicholas. With his counseling and support, she was able to do a 180, bringing up her grades and teen counselinging a more positive outlook. We’ll be forever grateful.
Talking with Philip is like talking to a friend. He always has great insight into what we are discussing and offers various ways to deal with my situation. I always feel encouraged after our conversations. I would highly recommend him.
Philip is a pleasure to talk to and very supporting. He is helping me set goals and follow through. Friendly and a lot of experience. Highly recommend.
Philip Nicholas was very welcoming from day one. He helped me get through one of the toughest times of my life. I highly recommend him to anyone!
He is wonderful!! Absolutely enjoyed him and was a great listener;)
Philip was always professional and offered great suggestions to my concerns. He listened attentively and provided unbiased feedback.
Philip cares deeply about his clients. He wishes to see nothing but their growth. In his words he is "just a stepping stone" for us to use to live better lived, to improve ourselves. I appreciate him he set a goal for me that I was a bit hesitant to do. I just completed it and am grateful that he set the goal for me.
My husband and I absolutely love Philip and our time together. We get a friend who listens to us, encourages us, prays with us and hold us accountable to do better. We love having Philip's support as we navigate thru marital issues and we either get validation that we are doing the right things and we get encouragement to continue or we get encouragement and solutions for a better way of navigating our marriage. It's a win-win for us. The biggest advantage we love about spending time in counseling with Philip is having a safe place to discuss deeper issues that we may not feel comfortable exploring on our own. We are extremely grateful to Philip and the work and time he's giving us while strengthening our marriage.
Phipil is down to Earth and easy to speak with with solid, real feedback given.
My last session with Philip Nicholas was very beneficial.
Philip is very compassionate. I really enjoyed my session. I feel he really understood my relationship issues.
Mr. Nicholas has been exceedingly helpful in assisting me in being more introspective and helping me process my thoughts into actions
Philip listens and is easy to talk to. He is knowledgeable and makes me feel like I have a new friend.
Good counselor
