Reviews

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Suzanne Johnson-Grace. 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 Feb 28, 2024 after therapy with Suzanne for 1 month on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, relationship issues, trauma and abuse, sleeping disorders, and coping with life changes

I think she is helpful and caring.

Written on Feb 07, 2024 after therapy with Suzanne for 2 years and 9 months on issues concerning relationship

A therapist who doesn't get caught up in what you say, but what it attaches to. In couple's therapy she is less concerned with mending the relationship and keeping couples together, and more focused on finding the root of issues, and exploration. For us that leads down a path of continuous healing from infidelity, but it might mean something else for you, and Suzanne has never made us feel like she had a preference. It's our journey and she's there to help us have hard conversations that get us where we want to go.

Suzanne is a compassionate listener and reviews what I have said as we proceed through our session.

Written on Dec 14, 2023 after therapy with Suzanne for 2 months on issues concerning relationship

Suzanne has a very intuitive undestanding of human relationships. She knows how to facilitate communication and being able to sit with and express our feelings.
We are still at the relatively early stages but we can see the results we were looking after, mainly being able to reconnect and make space for our relationship given our busy lives as new parents. I’ve found our individual sessions helpful as well. I would encourage anyone to take advantage of couples therapy even just to strengthen existing relationships early on, and not wait until issues build up over time.

Written on Dec 13, 2023 after therapy with Suzanne for 1 year and 9 months on issues concerning relationship

Our experience with Suzanne has been transformative, significantly improving our communication and strengthening our bond. Suzanne's empathetic and professional approach created a safe space for us to explore and share our feelings. These led to fewer misunderstandings and a deeper connection. Tailoring her methods to our relationship dynamics, Suzanne not only addressed our immediate challenges but also laid a foundation for long-term relationship health. We highly recommend Suzanne to any couples seeking to enhance their relationship.

I have only worked with Suzanne for 2 weeks at this point but I already feel comfortable with her, and I trust her expertise. It seems to me that I found the therapist I'd been looking for for so long, I am eager to work with her on the roots of my problems and to find the way through to better days. I am confident she will help me get there, she knows what she's doing. And she's being there for me day after day.

Starting therapy was one of the best decisions I’ve made this year and Suzanne has been such a great help in helping me find coping mechanisms to deal with my day to day life.

Written on Mar 22, 2022 after therapy with Suzanne for 2 months on issues concerning stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, eating disorders, and self esteem

Suzanne has been helping me overcome many mental health issues (mainly with eating disorder, health anxiety, and gaining self confidence in general). I was a little hesitant about therapy at first, but Suzanne has completely changed my mind! She is an amazing listener and she asks all the right questions for me to understand what the issue is and what I should do moving forward. I can tell she genuinely cares for her clients and she checks in every week before the next session as well! I can’t thank her enough for guiding me through these issues and I look forward to our session every week :)

Suzanne is wonderful at making me think of things from a different perspective, and I am feeling much more positive about the future after only a couple of sessions.
I feel like our sessions are really productive and that we're making progress all the time. I'm able to relax and be myself and Suzanne is already proving to be the supportive and encouraging presence I knew I needed to help me on my counselling journey. Thanks Suzanne!

Written on Dec 11, 2021 after therapy with Suzanne for 1 year on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, relationship issues, family conflicts, trauma and abuse, grief, and coping with life changes

Thanks very much Suzanne for being with me with guidance and support in the hardest of my times!

Written on Dec 05, 2021 after therapy with Suzanne for 10 months on issues concerning relationship issues, intimacy-related issues, eating disorders, self esteem, career difficulties, coping with life changes, coaching, compassion fatigue, and adhd

I have tried counseling at many points in my life without feeling that it has ever been a helpful fit for me, and it never lasted for more than a handful of sessions. For a number of months now my sessions with Suzanne have been insightful and very useful in working towards winning at the game of life... or at least working through some stuff.
I am very happy with my 'Counselor' and with the teencounseling.com platform.

Written on Nov 24, 2021 after therapy with Suzanne for 1 year and 5 months on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship issues, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, self esteem, coaching, and adhd

Suzanne is an excellent “in the moment” thought partner and guide; she asks gentle but purposeful questions that help me think for myself and discover answers that are in front of me. I find her positive and consistent support to be authentic and refreshing - thank you

Written on Jul 31, 2021 after therapy with Suzanne for 4 weeks on issues concerning relationship issues, family conflicts, intimacy-related issues, eating disorders, sleeping disorders, parenting issues, self esteem, anger management, career difficulties, coping with life changes, coaching, compassion fatigue, and adhd

Suzzane is very intentional with her work. She is definitely someone who everyone can lean on. A few reasons are how she is like your friend that listens intently and tries to understand you without interrupting, she completely understands you and makes you a priority she will adjust your own pace and when you need help she will start open-ended questions that will make you reflect and truly understand your own personal problem. She has this magic of letting you know yourself which is definitely a rare gift, instead of her giving you advice that you can follow she helps you be that person. She will make you your own therapist and that is very great because no one knows yourself more than yourself and once you reach that level you start believing on your own and you can make decisions very wisely. I want to thank Suzzane for being my therapist. Getting help is hard but for those who did you're amazing and very brave!

Written on Jun 29, 2021 after therapy with Suzanne for 6 months

Suzanne is an amazingly empathetic listener. I find it difficult to open up to people but she made it so easy.

I have found myself increasingly out of touch with my feelings and desires. She really helped me to get back in touch with my feelings and realise the importance of my relationship with myself. It has been an epic journey for me and I am so thankful to have had Suzanne help me through it.

Written on Dec 21, 2020 after therapy with Suzanne for 10 months on issues concerning stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, sleeping disorders, anger management, career difficulties, and coping with life changes

When I first started therapy with Suzanne, I was dealing with intense anxiety that dominated all my waking hours, as well as insomnia that kept me up to avg ~3am most nights for over half a year. I was honestly skeptical of therapy since I have worked with 6 different therapists in the past (not through teencounseling.com), and didn't feel it really worked for me. But Suzanne really changed my idea of therapy for the better. Since working with her, my mental health has improved immensely and I've experienced a ton healing in our time together. Her empathic and compassionate listening, relevant advice and knowledge, and warm presence really put me at ease and helped me move through probably the biggest transition of my life, as well as a lot of past trauma. I feel eons lighter and much more at peace with myself, my life, and my relationships, and I can attribute a lot of that to working with Suzanne - the level of insight and practical homework that came out of every session really helped me feel like I was making progress in my healing. Suzanne, thank you so much for all the hard work that you do. It is an amazing skill to care and counsel. Thank you for changing my life! :)

I like the way Suzanne rephrases our comments to be sure she heard what we thought we said and also how she confirms with the other partner regarding if they agree/how they feel about what the other partner said.
