Reviews

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

Honestly, I couldn't have asked for a better therapist. They have helped me through various situations I have presented to them, always with a smile and validating my feelings and emotions.

Richard has helped me since the very beginning of my sessions with him. I have grown as a man as a father and as a husband with his help I appreciate all of his time is knowledge and his patience and look forward to more therapy with him. Thank you.

I find his professionalism and active listening skills to be very helpful when I am describing my issues. He is able to help talk me through some of the reasons I may be feeling the way I am as well as positive coping mechanisms

I can not say enough good things about Richard. We have made more progress in our couple sessions with him than anything previously. He brings in personal experiences to validate your feelings and make you feel not alone.

I found it very helpful to work with him and to share my struggles with him without fear of judgment. He offered insights that were helpful to me in navigating my way forward.
