Client Testimonials

I appreciate [my counselor]. He listens with no judgment but only caring for my well-being.

[My counselor] is very likely saving my life. My gratitude has no measure. Thank you.

[My counselor’s] calm accepting demeanor helped me feel comfortable and safe in discussing anything. Her suggestions were pivotal and realistic in helping me deal more successfully with my anxiety.

[My counselor] brought so much light to our marital issues. He helped us work through years of built up negativity. With his guidance, we were able to find our love and compassion for each other again.

My experience here at All Souls has been so life changing. The amount of compassion and dedication I feel here is so comforting. I wasn’t sure I would ever get my mind and life back but I did and I’m so grateful for this place, I love it!

I’ve noticed the changes in my personal life have gotten better and with the help of counseling I’m more happier and able to see growth.

ASCC has helped my partner and I have a better quality of life that we otherwise would not have been able to afford. Thank you.

Where would we be without All Souls Counseling Center?

[My counselor] has been a life-saver in so many ways. His practical suggestions are tremendous. His caring and empathy are palpable and so valuable to me at this time. I am so grateful to him and to ASCC for making this affordable.

This place has been a literal life-saver. I have never felt more respected or understood by a counselor. Now that I’ve come here I can’t imagine what I’d do without this place.

I have come for both individual as well as couples therapy and I love the level of care I receive here. So thankful to have found you guys.

[My counselor] has been a lifesaver and a life vest in a stormy sea.

My counselor has and continues to help me tremendously and I have interacted with her better than any other counselor I have seen in the past.

Exactly what I needed, in exactly the way I needed it. Eternally grateful.
