She has brought me to terms with understanding myself and showing me how to process life as it comes. A Blessing

Maria is the ultimate professional and her expertise has been a tremendous help to equip me with the tools I needed to overcome my anxiety. Her approach is very open and compassionate. She is also candid in her observations which helped me move further in my therapy. I am ecstatic that I connected with Maria virtually at a time when I needed a therapist and she was exactly the type of therapist.

Maria has the wisdom of an old soul. Her guidance is invaluable given the chaos we are living in. She keeps me grounded to control what I can and let go of the rest.

It is evident that Maria truly cares for her patient’ wellbeing. She is very knowledgeable & helps me talk through situations to figure out why I am feeling what I am feeling at that time- anxiety, etc. I’m so glad I was paired with her.

Maria is a great therapist. I was brand new to therapy and she was very quickly able to pinpoint some of my key issues and we've been working through them. I'm planning to stick with her for a little while for me to work on myself.

She’s the first therapist they matched me with and so far she’s been really good. I’ve only had two sessions with her but the next one is booked and I’m really hoping it works out :)

So far the last two sessions has been well with her. She's very patient and driven and sets a calm demeanor when you talk to her. I feel like she is well engaged with her clients. Let's see what else unravels.

I have been seeing Maria for several weeks now and find our therapy sessions very constructive. Maria is well-versed in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy which she applies in our sessions, although she also has broad knowledge of other types of therapy, and a sound understanding of adult ADHD). I take comfort in Maria's holistic approach to our sessions. I am someone who benefits from structure too which Maria incorporates. I feel more in touch with myselfl/world since working with Maria. I'd like to continue this work as I know that I am gaining helpful insights and am beginning to understand what I need to regain order in life and feel happy and at peace within my mind

The best therapist... Maria's guidance helped get to the root of my issues in a matter of a few sessions. She is very understanding and full of knowledge. I am very grateful to have her as my therapist and coach. Thank you for everything and I'll keep on working on all you've helped me discover.

I was going to therapy already when I first saw Maria. I wasn’t sure how we could add to what I was getting in my other therapy to enhance my personal life but she quickly made me feel comfortable and she found how to best mesh with me. I am now comfortable and I have a vision and direction of how her and I will work together. She encourages me to better my life in ways I did not know I could.

From the first session with Maria Arana I felt comfortable sharing about everything. She is a great listener, gives good advice and overall a great specialist. It’s the first time I seek therapy and I am happy I reached out.
