Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Shiho Murakami. 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.
We highly recommend Shiho's therapy services. She skillfully bridges the communication gap between parents and teens by addressing everyone's unique concerns. Our experience with her talk therapy has been incredibly helpful.
She's just the best! I've been seeing her for about 3 years now and she's legitimately a life saver.
Shiho is outstanding! She is honest and to the point but very gentle in delivery. I always learn so much from her and I’m very grateful
Shiho has shown astuteness and compassion as she has helped me uncover underlying issues that I felt but did not know how to articulate. In just a few sessions, I already feel that her insights will improve how I approach my life going forward.
It never occurred to me before teen counseling that there was a cultural relevance in therapy. Shiho is the first therapist I have seen in my life who I feel actually truly sees me and understands where I am coming from. My family carries a lot of foreign ideals about family and in the past my american therapists have lacked an understanding of those additional pressures.
She’s a great therapist. She talks me through my issues without judgement and helps me see things from a different perspective. She also pushes me out of my comfort zone to do things I normally wouldn’t
I am thrilled to share my positive experience with Shiho, who has proven to be an exceptional therapist. My wife and I have had the privilege of working with her for couple's therapy, and the results have been truly remarkable. Shiho's expertise shines through in her ability to navigate the complexities of different cultures with great sensitivity and insight. She skillfully guides us through our challenges, always ensuring a non-biased and inclusive approach.
I wholeheartedly and emphatically recommend Shiho and teen counseling Us to anyone seeking a skilled therapist who not only understands diverse cultural dynamics but also brings about transformative change. Thank you, Shiho, for your invaluable support and expertise.
Great Communication skills. Shiho is a communicated that help us to understand we can trust her, listening and providing expert advice.
Shiho has been absolutely fantastic. Her listening skills and ability to be direct are much appreciated. We originally had a different therapist that wasn’t the right fit and Shiho couldn’t be any more perfect for myself and partner during couples session. Thank you Shiho!
Shiho has taught me self-compassion and helped boost my self-esteem in a way that’s changed my life. I’m confident in who I am for the first time in awhile. She is friendly, professional, and professorial in her homework assignments and knowledge of psychology and psychotherapy topics.
Shiho is my first therapist and I’m very satisfied with her recommendations and her kind manner. She is good at what she does and I appreciate her counseling.
