These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Maria Poston. 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 been extremely helpful as I have navigated several big life transitions. She points out themes and tendencies in a truly non judgmental manner, and helps me name my emotions. This approach makes me feel validated and heard.
