Contact Teen Counseling Support

I simply cannot comprehend the positive reviews for this app. I paid $400 every four weeks for more than two months for one single half hour appointment. The counselor was either on vacation, had extremely limited hours or would arbitrarily cancel appointments, which are only a half an hour. I contacted TeenCounseling three times to discuss my frustrations and no one even bothered to respond. I would not have resorted to online therapy if not for the pandemic but this app has guaranteed that I’ll never try it again. Please save your money and find a service that demonstrates care and concern for their clients. What a tremendous waste.
* DO NOT be fooled by Teen Counseling’s responses to poor reviews. They will completely ignore any inquiries, pleas or other correspondence. I contacted them four times in two months and never received a single reply. They sure were quick to respond to my negative review though. As if by leaving the same exact email address that I’ve used four times before would Garner any kind of response. I did try again and as you could likely predict they didn’t respond. Again. I had high hopes for this service as my son heads to college across the country but they’re clearly only concerned with your subscription fees - definitely not concerned with your children’s well being.

I have never before written a review for anything but I am just so annoyed that I need to. I am a teen who was super excited to finally meet my counselor and finally just start talking to someone professionally. I filled out the whole questionaire, my mom set up the payments on a Tuesday afternoon. I matched with a counselor, whom I read her whole bio and I was super excited to get to start working with because she seemed like a perfect match. A couple of days go by and she has not reached out to me in anyway. My mom, confused emails her and she says that “she is not taking in any new clients and will get us set up with a new counselor asap.” My mom then replies back with a little bit of feedback saying that the program should only set teens up with counselors that are available. She replies that she forgot to turn her availability off and that it is her fault and again would get me setup with someone asap. It has been days, with still nothing changing. My mom has paid for a full week with me having no counselor. I am very disappointed and annoyed.

After not being able to use the app for more than half of the month because of their errors and glitches- causing appointments to have to be rescheduled- they won’t return or comp the remaining sessions.. this is not a user error, their app was down... so, they ought to make good on almost $300 worth of services paid for. A reasonable person would see the problem and remedy it. The clinician we were paired with was amazing and we cannot even contact her through the app- we just look MIA. I am sure the platform has many excellent clinicians... but at the end of the day, you’re paying a business to connect you with a healthcare provider and the business being the middleman means they will take their cut whether or not they follow through with what you seek from them- which is, services you pay for seeking help *to be met* in a fair deal.
