Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Ruby Preston. 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.
I am grateful for Ruby’s professionalism, compassion, communication, and empathy. I started therapy to help me deal with anxiety and depression. She’s helped me to face some feelings and facts that I’d been avoiding. She has effectively used the tools at her disposal to help me dig deeper.
As a result, I have learned how to identify the root causes of my stress and learn how to handle it. I am on the road to rebuilding some of my relationships and letting go of others that don’t serve me.
At some point, I won’t need to talk to Ruby as often as I am now, but I will definitely do a check in from time to time to make sure that I stay on track.
Ruby has been a lifesaver. Not only has she worked with me but with my son as well. Along with excellent advice she provides real life exercises to aid in achieving our goals. Thank you Ruby!!
I enjoy my sessions with Ruby. She is an intelligent therapist with great perspective.
Ruby is compassionate and caring. She has extensive life experience to help connect with me and my issues.
Excellent therapist!
I love Ruby, she’s so down to earth and wise. I purposely sought out a therapist of color because I wanted someone to relate to me as a young black woman and she does just that. She’s such a great person. So spiritual and enlightening.
Ruby listens to me in a kind and understanding way
Ruby is a truly wonderful person and an incredible therapist. For anyone starting therapy, it is a process and you learn to take baby steps towards a new direction and perspective in life. Ruby is a great guide and will help you the whole way.
Im enjoying her as a therapist, its nice to know she us there for me when I need someone to talk to
Amazing, patient therapist.
She’s wonderful. I like her recommendations and insight.
Offer a space to vent and express my feelings and less time prematurely offering input that might not be relevant or helpful to the topic of discussion. Help me pinpoint my areas of concern.
Ruby gave me the space and understanding to express myself. She made me feel heard. And at that moment for me, that was what I really needed to help me move forward.
This was very different from any other therapist that I had worked with before.
Thank you, Ruby!
Ruby Preston is an amazing therapist, she has a great listening ear and very compassionate. She uses her personal experiences to relate as well
Ruby is wonderful! She is kind and handles situations with care. She helped my partner and I overcome a difficult situation and we appreciate her!
She gave me another chance to work with her after me being so stubborn and unable to comprehend myself. Thank you Ms. Preston fir not giving up on me
My therapist is probably the best one that I have ever had, and I've been seeing them for 37 years, she listens, she tells me what I need to know, and we discuss ways of overcoming my obstacles, she gives me tools that I can actually use (unlike other therapists that I have seen. I've made more progress with her in this very short amount of time than I did with other ones over years! I still have a long way to go, but there is a light at the end of the tunnel now!
Felt like I was talking with a friend
She is great!
Very nice, calm, and lovely. I like the examples she gives and always have a takeaway after every session. It makes me reflect a lot and appreciate the words she says to get me to do and feel better.
Really sweet & understanding
Good experience thus far
Ruby has a comforting & calming aura. I respect and appreciate the way she uses her experience to converse in a very natural and fluid way.
