Reviews

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

Written on Aug 06, 2025 after therapy with Susan for 2 months on issues concerning self esteem, career difficulties, and coaching

Susan is someone I barely know but the first interactions with her have gone well and she’s been persistent in reaching out even when I didn’t respond, which made me feel nice and I know that she cares. She’s honest and I’ve enjoyed working with her so far. I’ve only had one session but I felt better after it. She’s been very kind and knowledgeable, offering me solid advice and truly listening.

I found Susan in a terrible state and was the first time I felt I could speak openly. I needed somewhere to track my thoughts, actions, feelings, and seek advice. I write and write and she will send confirming messages of support and direction. The therapy session delved deeper into what I'm facing, helping to identify my needs and alleviated many fears.
