Always so friendly. My counselor Troy is the best and I love talking with him and I always feel better and more confident after I talk to him and he has always been there for me. It feels good to talk to someone about the things I’m going through in my life and has such a positive impact in my life. And when I was going through a rough patch he was there to guide me through and helped me through it he is one a million and I would recommend anyone who is going through a rough time to go here or who just needs someone to talk to.

Troy at Next Step Counseling has been a blessing for our family! I highly recommend! All of the staff members have been super kind and helpful with our journey as a family through the teenage years.

I have seen Troy for both individual and couple's counseling and am so thankful! He is always so pleasant, understanding, compassionate and helpful. The office itself has a quiet, relaxing vibe and I'm always comfortable going in. If researching, definitely consider!

I had about 10 sessions with Vivienne, and it was challenging. While there were some positives, most of the sessions I had to facilitate all conversation and direction. When I wasn't talking, Vivienne would wait in silence, sometimes for minutes at a time. No prompts, no questions, no facilitation of conversation, just waiting. She also repeatedly looked at her phone many times during our sessions, and it became clear that her interest and time were elsewhere.

Troy Neilson... ah. I love that man. Such a professional. I didn't think I can open up to someone as fast as I did to him. He is very respectful and I HIGHLY encourage anyone who is struggling to come here. Someone once told me, "You can read and hear negative views about someone or something, but you won't know until you find out." I have not encountered any negativity from the staff at all. They are kind, respectful, and are very communicative. So, before you skip to see another place because of the negative reviews, please check this place out. They have really helped me through a lot and I've been with them for 3-4 years now.
