Maya Bates is very good at what she does. Great listener, very supportive and able to help me see things from a perspective I wasn’t able to see on my own. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a great therapist.

Maya has been very helpful with my process. She listens well and gives great feedback and guidance, but certainly is not pushy. Her and my personalities mesh well. She has been a joy to work with.

Maya has been great. She provides a comforting and safe environment to express and explore my emotions. During our very first session I felt validated and heard.
I would definitely recommend Maya to others.

Maya has been a great listener and I value her advice. This is my first experience with therapy of any kind, and I find Maya easy to talk to and to be a good listener. I really do feel that she has insight into my issues, and she gives me good advice. I feel that she is truly interested in me--she is just not "doing her job". That is not to say that she is not professional--on the contrary, but she takes the time to listen and respond to my concerns.
