These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Maria Malone. 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.
Maria has helped me in ways I never thought was possible. I have had some deep rooted habits that I didn't realise weren't helping me or healthy, and even though I'm still working through a lot of these, the clarity and healthy mindset I have now is unbelievable.
Maria has also challenged me on a number of occasions which has been so helpful and has really helped me change a lot of unhealthy ways I had and question certain things I was struggling with.

Maria is amazing. She is definitely one of the best therapists I've had. She challenges me and makes me uncomfortable, but in a good way. That's how I want to feel in therapy. I want to feel challenged and face myself, and Maria does an amazing job of facilitating that. She is very wonderful and I look forward to my time with her each week.
