These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Maria Hester. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
Therapy with Maria is definitely different from what I was used to. I feel like I can tell her everything without being judged. Not once has she made me feel judged or unsure of therapy with her. I enjoy every session with her. I look forward to our sessions every week. I've made so much progress thanks to Maria. I can honestly say that she is THE BEST THERAPIST that I've worked with!!

Maria was such a blessing to me. She’s helped me work through my worries and anxieties, and helped me focus where it matters most - my family. I love that she incorporates a lot of prayers in our sessions which is a big part of who I am and where I am from. I would consult with her again and have sessions anytime.

Maria has a warm and engaging personality. She’s able to help me articulate and identify my underlying concerns and issues. I feel heard and seen, without judgment, and have complete trust that she’ll help me.
