She is the best therapist I've ever had. She is unbiased & understanding & she gives me everything that I need to better myself. She even is great at making me laugh even in my darkest moments. She's the best!

I’ve only had two sessions- and shared a lot of different things going with my wife’s mental health recent issues and my own personal experiences. So far it’s been good to share things about how I feel. Looking forward to diving more into my relationship with my wife and my own struggles.

Maya Bates is a truly caring and wonderful therapist. She provides a supportive presence as I talk through my own thoughts and is always ready with support or a thoughtful question depending on what is warranted. I also appreciate the resources she suggests for outside of our sessions, though I never feel pressured to pursue them if they don't resonate. I always leave our sessions feeling a little lighter and actually look forward to talking with her every week, which is something I NEVER thought I'd say about therapy if I'm being honest.
