Counseling Testimonials

from skeptic to saved…

"I initially walked into Alexis' office at Evergreen Counseling with my arms crossed and hopeless. Therapy had never helped my depression before, and while I assumed this would be the same case, I was desperate for anything that could help. Alexis saved me, and I can say that confidently and loudly. I had never met a therapist who "got me," and she did so immediately. She changed my very opinionated mind about therapy (I had been against it for the longest time because it never worked and felt forced.) I've been seeing her for almost four years now, and I can't put into words what she has helped me accomplish. I'm a different person today, thanks to Alexis. If you're a skeptic when it comes to therapy, this is the practice for you. Worth every penny and then some. Highly recommend to one and all!!" - Erin G.

transformative experience…

“Working with Andi has been an incredibly positive and transformative experience. Her compassionate approach and deep understanding of various therapeutic techniques have helped me navigate through my anxiety and stress. I appreciate her active listening and always creating a safe space for me to talk about my thoughts. I recommend Andi to anyone seeking support on their mental health journey!!” - Damian

like talking with a lifelong friend…

“Speaking with Emily is like talking to a lifelong friend who combines professionalism and warmth to help me assess my day-to-day experiences. Every week, I look forward to my visit to Evergreen to meet with Emily. Evergreen has a calming, serene feel which makes me really comfortable sharing. I am really happy to know Emily is there for me as a neutral person to help me work through things and see them from another angle.” - Y.

valuable tools to manage my grief…

“I sought out counseling after the death of my parents and other work and personal stressors. I told Jesa that I wanted to be happy again, to feel joy again, to rid myself of the weight of my grief. Jesa was a caring, kind, supportive listener. She gave me valuable tools that I could use to manage my grief. She was available on short notice if I needed her. I am happy to say, that I achieved my goals and was incredibly grateful for Jesa's care.” - Melissa R.

empowered and ready to take on the world…

"A couple of years ago I was searching for counselors for my daughters to help them process our family's new divorce. From the moment that Alexis answered my call, I knew that Evergreen was going to provide us with the best support through this major life change. Both Alexis and Amanda walked me through the intake and billing process with ease and made me feel like our satisfaction and comfort were their number one priority. Meredith took the time to listen without judgment, validate their feelings, as well as offer sound suggestions and strategies for working through their stress and anxieties. Meredith has made even virtual sessions feel comfortable and warm—a place where my daughters can vent, cry, express frustrations and disappointments, and then leave feeling empowered and ready to take on the world. As a mom, I couldn't ask for anything more valuable for my daughters. If you're looking for a counseling home for you or someone in your family, Evergreen just might be the place for you, too." - Grateful Mom

the best you can find…

“The counseling service is the best that you can find. They understand all different situations and matched me with Amy. Evergreen gives you the best service to make you feel more confident.” - Dave

gentle and calming, our child feels so comfortable with her…

“Our family has been working with Shana for several months to help one of our children develop strategies for managing anxiety. We have been so impressed with her thoughtful, strategic and clear approach. It has helped us, as a family, create consistency in how we handle anxious episodes and we have watched our child improve as they learn to recognize their "worry brain" versus their "thinking brain." Shana has been wonderful about communicating with us and helping us navigate any and all issues that have come up along the way. She is also very gentle and calming in how she speaks with our child and our child feels so comfortable with her. We highly recommend Shana!” - Kim V.

safe space, i feel seen…

“Seeking counseling felt daunting and I put it off, hesitating and procrastinating. When I finally took the leap, I was so relieved. My first session with Andi couldn't have gone any better! I felt like I had a safe space to speak my real mind and issues. No matter how big or small my problems were, Andi has been extraordinary in making me feel seen. Through thought provoking exercises and conversation, she has helped me navigate my life experiences. For those hesitant in seeking counseling, I highly recommend Andi to be your therapeutic guide.” - Sil A.

instrumental in keeping my mentality on track

“Amy and Evergreen Counseling have been instrumental in keeping my mentality on track and keeping me feeling grounded. Whenever I have an appointment, I look forward to knowing that is "me time" and that I'm to step aside from the business of the every day work hustle and focus on myself.” - Steve

patient and helpful…

“I wanted to let you know how happy I am you connected me with Andi. She is great, and really helping me. I’m going through a lot and she is patient. She listens to me and gives me ways to deal with what I am going through each week.” - Anne

finding flexibility and compassion throughout the years…

"We so often enter treatment when in crisis, and I was no exception. Finding Alexis in 2013 was key to working through a severe depressive episode. Her compassion, warmth, and understanding made it easier to open myself up and begin to heal. Since that time, she has seen me through marriage crises, issues related to aging, feelings of utter hopelessness, career angst, and existential floundering. With her help, I have made sense of these issues and continue to work to become the me I long to be. Alexis is flexible, practical, and solutions-driven in her therapeutic approach. She meets me where I am and is always attuned to my history and what I have shared with her in the past…seamlessly she transitions with my needs. After all these years, the quality of our work remains robust, and I am honored to have her on my journey. It is, therefore, without hesitation that I recommend Alexis to anyone seeking a productive, compassionate, authentic partner in therapy." - Kelly

a source of strength…

"I began seeking therapy from Alexis/Evergreen Counseling in 2015, when she still operated out of a Philadelphia office that was around the corner from my workplace one day a week. I was able to see her for an hour that counted as my "lunch break" from work, which was perfect at the time because I worked full time and had evening classes for my graduate program. Eventually, she stopped renting this office space and I would drive to her Warminster office (almost an hour from where I lived) for less frequent appointments. I didn't have a car of my own at this time and she was extremely understanding and accommodating when I couldn't make an appointment, suggesting that we could meet via phone if it was easier. Almost three years and several big life events later, I continue to see Alexis as often and as regularly as I can, and our therapeutic relationship continues to be a source of strength and support for me. I have been comfortable with her since we first met and I know that I am lucky, as many people don't hit it off with the first therapist they find. We both have similar career paths and her guidance in that regard has also been extremely helpful. I struggle on and off with depression and anxiety and I appreciate how much she has opened my eyes to various approaches and exercises that I knew from my own studies and work, but didn't necessarily think applied to me or my situations. My mindset is a lot different than it used to be (in a good way), and I wholeheartedly recommend Alexis and Evergreen Counseling for your therapeutic needs. :)" - Monica

helped me realize my self-worth…

“In 2015, I was going through some relationship struggles and needed someone to talk to. I was a little skeptical to see a therapist, since I had some bad experiences prior. In the last 5 1/2 years, Alexis has changed my life. She has created a safe and nonjudgmental place for me to express and be myself. She is so warm and kindhearted. She finds a way to make me feel like I’m not going through it alone. In the last 5 1/2 years I have grown so much from her. She has helped me realize my self-worth. She is an amazing therapist. Highly recommend her.” - Erika K.

tools and trust for coping with childhood anxiety…

"My daughter has been working with Alexis for over four years to help deal with anxiety related issues. I am often telling people that it is the best thing that I could have ever done for her. Meeting Alexis has truly changed who she is as a person. While my daughter was very young when she started working with Alexis, she gained tools and a trust in the process that will have as a foundation forever. When things are stressful in her life such as, school or the death of a family member, Alexis is the person she asks for each time. Not only has Alexis been amazing with my daughter, but during the very difficult time of my father’s illness and passing, she has helped my whole family. We have all worked with her during our grief and mourning. I would highly recommend Alexis and tell so many people about her all the time!" - Jennifer S.

humble, open-minded, and understanding…

"Alexis is amazing. When I first found her online I called her and she said she had no spots open but she said she couldn't turn someone down who was asking for help. So she squeezed me in and I've been going sporadically for about a year. She is the epitome of a perfect counselor. She doesn't just say what you want to hear and takes an unbiased approach to different situations. I tried a couples session and Alexis said, "We can do this from time to time but it can't become frequent because I would be biased towards you because I don't know her". She should do a Ted talk she's that good. Very humble, open-minded, understanding. I know she has a few other counselors at her location and she was very thorough with who she picked. Often, many therapists become jaded and I can assure you that anyone working at this location is a phenomenal counselor or Alexis would not have brought them on." - Kyle

nothing short of amazing… 

"Evergreen Counseling is a great place. I work with Alexis, who is nothing short of amazing - even her office is amazing! So comfortable, and you feel like a priority. I have never gotten the opportunity to work with any of the other therapists, but knowing how dedicated Alexis is, I know they are amazing as well. I have been working with Alexis for over a year, and have never looked back." - Sarah L.

ongoing, personalized support… 

"My daughter was fortunate enough to be assigned to Alexis through another practice when she was a freshman in high school. Alexis opened Evergreen Counseling shortly after and six years later my daughter continues to treat with Alexis. As a parent, it is heartbreaking to watch your child suffer and not be able to help. Alexis has been successful in guiding my daughter through difficult times. She adjusts the frequency of the sessions to meet the needs of my daughter and the challenges she is facing at the time. She has guided her through her high school years and now into college. Life will continue to bring challenges to my daughter and I am confident Alexis will be there to counsel, guide, and teach her how to cope along the way." - Marianna

a place to talk…

“Alexis and Evergreen Counseling provide the right environment to cope with the everyday pressures. Having a place to talk is priceless.” - Lisa G.
