Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Samantha Golden. 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.
Samantha has helped my teenage daughter tremendously. She was able to become a confidant to my teenager when she's typically a very shy and not very open person. Samantha has great patience and empathy and provides a safe place for teens to open up. My daughter has made a lot of progress, and its all thanks to Samantha. I highly recommend her to anyone.
Samantha worked with my son for several months. She truly became a trusted advisor and helped my son out immensely. She was very adept at online counseling, and diligent in keeping appointment times. I would recommend Samantha to any teen seeking counseling.
Samantha helped me change my life. I will forever be grateful for her as a person and it was the best experience I’ve had with a therapist in my life.
Samantha was great in helping me realize what I could do with the tools I already have. She taught me how to use my strengths to my advantage in ways I hadn't thought to previously but only after helping me realize I had them. I can't recommend Samantha enough.
I’m so beyond grateful for my time with Samantha. I started counseling right at the beginning of the covid crisis and everything felt so uncertain. I have a trauma history and was in an extremely dysfunctional relationship. She helped me sort out all the pieces and put everything in its place. I couldn’t have attained my goals or found the courage to take the necessary steps to teencounseling.com my life without her help.
I can not recommend Samantha enough to anyone else who is looking for someone to help get back on track and get healthy. Thank you so much for everything!
I really look forward to our sessions so far. I feel like talking with Samantha has been productive and helpful. I would certainly recommend her to a friend
Ms. Golden is a really great counselor! She listens to what I’m saying and provides sensible solutions without making me feel bad or guilty for the way that I’m feeling. Thanks to her I’ve been able to find myself in a better headspace more consistently, and I’ve been able to stop negative thought patterns much more easily.
Pleased with counseling services for my son, for issues with anxiety, depression.
