Maya is my favourite therapist.
She understands me so well without even speaking.
She encouraged me to journal, now I can express and understand my feeling better than before.

Maya is a great therapist. She takes the time to listen to your needs and then takes her expertise to offer you the precise help you need. It's amazing how many situations I've thought that my situation was unique but then she'll describe an example of a certain type of behavior that'll match it word for word. Super experienced and respectful woman.

Maya listens, has great insight and understands my issues quickly. She allows me to 'rant' if I need to share a story that has deeply bothered me. I don't feel rushed, I feel I'm being shown the right direction based on my needs. I also feel empowered, I don't wallow in depression, I just know that the pain of certain issues in my life is mine to choose to move away from and put in the past. Maya is giving me the tools to do that. Thanks Maya.

Maya has been awesome - she clearly has a lot of experience in dealing with family issues and she was always willing to share her own experience, which I found very helpful and relatable. She has always been responsive and respectful and super honest - and let me be very honest and I have never felt scared or ashamed to tell her what I was thinking or feeling, even if it was controversial.

Talking with Maya literally saved me. I was in such a bad place and needed to understand what I was experiencing. She helped shed light on my anxieties and what was causing them. This experience has been so helpful in overcoming the hardest time in my life! Thank you Maya!
Written on Mar 25, 2018 after therapy with Maya for 2 weeks on issues concerning stress, anxiety, eating, and self esteem
My experience with Maya Neal has been a positive one. She has responded to all my emails in a timely manner and has good insight into issues and situations I have discussed with her. While some reviews regarding online counseling stated that the answers could seem canned I have not found that with Maya. Her interactions with me have been personalized and constructive.
The online format is a good one for me as it offers flexibility that scheduled, in person counseling cannot offer. I can respond to an email later once I've had a chance to absorb what I read and think about how I truly feel about it. Sometimes are first reactions to questions or statements are off the cuff or defensive. This format allows me to work through that before responding.
Written on May 12, 2015 after therapy with Maya for 1 month
Once Maya was assigned to me she responded almost immediatly. I found her to be very comfortable to talk with and she asked the right questions to help me understand emotions I am dealing with right now. She also had specific suggestions for setting goals for myself and taking steps toward acheiving those goals. Having the option of trying counseling using an online format at first was good for me because it was a first step that I probably would not have taken if I had to randomly locate someone in a big city on my own.

Maya was all she was cracked up to be (ha, see what I did there, therapy humor) and more. If you want someone who listens, understands what you're saying, and responds thoroughly, you're on the right track choosing her. Even better, if you want someone who also gets your weird sense of humor, that's her, too.
