What Our Clients Have to Say
I went here for almost 2 years and was provided with kind-heartedness and support from Rebecca C. Because my insurance changed, I sadly had to change therapist. Rebecca came in my life and provided me with what I needed most.
The office staff is just as great! I always spoke with Jordan and she is always so sweet! If she doesn’t know an answer, the answer is always provided back in a timely manner. I would 100% recommend this place to anybody needing therapy services.
Tiffani C.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️I have had a good experience with Village Counseling. Caroline has been very helpful in guiding my quest for a therapist that is a good fit for me. It’s nice to be able to use the same service and switch therapists without going through the intake process all over again.
Nathanael B.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Village Counseling is a great place with a variety of services offered. I have never felt more secure and cared for with any therapist that I have encountered. Her down to earth compassionate approach makes me feel like I’m talking to a friend. I’d highly recommend!
