About me
I have had 40 years of experience providing counseling services to adults and children. I currently provide services for our local school district as a special education counselor, working with students dealing with emotional disturbance, autism and ADHD. I thoroughly enjoy working with youth and since I provide counseling services to students from K-12, I have experience with issues teens deal with in these challenging times. My initial goal is to develop a positive therapeutic relationship with my client and help them to make effective, positive choices in their life. I believe children are one of our most precious responsibilities and I support healthy family dynamics and positive growth. My style is non-confrontational but challenging; challenging the client to self-manage their emotions and behaviors. I am non-judgmental and do not criticize their lack of success but reinforce and encourage forward progress. I am comfortable working with children from early elementary through high school and post graduation.
I have also had a great deal of experience helping children recover from abuse and trauma. I have provided counseling for Child Protective Services and have helped many victims of physical/sexual abuse move forward from victim to survivor. Children should always be safe and protected!!!

Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Thomas Slough. 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.
In short words, he’s beyond amazing, always listens to me and validates me. I couldn’t have had a better therapist. I highly recommend him, specially if you’re looking for someone with experience and who actually listens to you, and has something to share. God bless his soul for being the person I needed during my time of need.
What a total blessing it has been to have a therapist like Thomas Slough. Over the last year he has helped me immensely with a common sense and Christian approach. I’m very grateful for his wisdom and support.
Extremely easy to talk to and is a kind understanding person
Wonderful Therapist! He has really helped our son through some very difficult issues relating to his bipolar disorder, spectrum disorder, and general teenage struggles. Highly recommend!!!
Excellent. Patient. Understanding.
Thomas is a great listener and able to help both parties express themselves without judgment and find deeper meaning. Highly recommended.
Tom was great from the beginning, but as he got to know us better he was even more great. Cannot thank him enough for what he has taught us.
He has been a tremendous help!
Tom has been great with our daughter. She says he has a calming voice and style/ approach that helps her to open up.
Thank you for listening
I have been in counseling with Thomas Slough for about 7 months now. He is a fantastic counselor and has helped me immensely.
Tom is great has already helped us a ton
Thomas is truly a treasure to find and work with. In fact, in our cumulative 6 months or so time using this app and switching counselors, we have never found anyone as great as Thomas. He is able to get to the root of the issue quick and he’s very gentle in his approach. We are staying with him as long as we use this and he is available.
Very attentive to detail
Thomas is so easy to talk to and he has helped me navigate so many different things
Thomas is a great referee!
I love sessions with Thomas! He’s attentive and challenges me to think in ways I usually wouldn’t. I look forward to my appointments with him.
Tom is very kind and helpful. He listens to my concerns and without judgement helps me to work through them in an extremely helpful manner.
Thank you for your help
Great first session.
Thomas actively listens to both of our concerns and addresses them individually as well as offering solutions for us to work on together, within our relationship. His recommendations have been very helpful in our therapy journey thus far.
Thomas is great! Attentive, understanding, friendly and helpful. Responds in a very timely manner. He's been a huge help in just 1 months time.
We clicked right away, he seemed so familiar, made us feel very comfortable on our first appt. will def recommend!!
My husband and I have been working with Mr. Slough for a couple weeks now and I have really enjoyed his counseling so far! It’s refreshing to know that if I am in a rut, I can message him at any time and he is ready to bring me helpful advice. We’ve had 1 video call so far with him and we really enjoyed our time with him. Mr. Slough was able to give us advice that helped us understand each other’s troubles and give solutions to ongoing issues. I am very confident that Mr. Slough will continue to help improve my husband and I’s communication + overall marriage. Thank you!!
I really like Thomas and my sessions are helping me.
I enjoy Tom and that he listens to my issues. We are still in our crawling stage of our sessions but we are doing well so far.
Thomas has been so great to work with and giving the guidance we need. We are very thankful for him and for what he does. I am very glad we got matched with him through this site.
He has a wonderful personality and easy to talk to
