These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Maya Neal. 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.
I've had a rough couplw of months and Maya has been there with me every step of the way and checking up on me. I appreciate her so much and always feel better after our sessions.
Maya is wonderful! Very engaging and gets to know you and your situation in a deep level. She applied great examples and real life experiences to help with whatever you’re working on. I highly recommend Maya
I am fairly new to therapy and Maya makes it so comfortable. She’s a great listener and makes me feel so hears and understood after our sessions.
Maya Neal is relatable. She is kind and informative. In our sessions she lets me guide the conversation while offering helpful tips and real life situations to make it understandable.
Maya makes every session calming and helps me face the week ahead. I appreciate her time and keeping things realistic. You have to put in the time and be respectful of the process.
I am grateful for her guidance.
I think Maya Neal is a great listener and really focus in on your feeling new to therapy so needing to feel comfortable is important to me
Maya has helped me look at my problems with a positive perspective . I feel she has the necessary training to help me get out of the rut I find myself in and turn the many issues I have around .
Maya has been a thoughtful listener with excellent advice. She has a great way of seeing the big picture and picking out specific key details to help me refocus on healing. It has been a great experience working with her
Great therapist! She listens to what I tell her and gives me real life and actually applicable methods for dealing with my anxiety.
Maya Neal is the best therapist I have ever had. She is smart, kind, logical, understanding, and welcoming. She helped me so much with deciding on a career path and managing my anxiety.
Maya is extremely kind and understanding. She is always willing to listen and open to discuss about what you want to. She is very real and honest. I appreciate her advise and guidance. She's my angel.
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.
She is supportive and she doesn't make me speak about things that I'm not comfortable with
I can speak freely without feeling like I'm being judged
This was my first therapy experience so I was quite nervous and didn't know what to expect. Maya did a wonderful job making me feel like I can be open and honest about my feelings and experiences. I have benefitted immensely from a combination of her expertise and personal effort encouraged by Maya. I highly recommend her to anybody and everybody looking for a positive therapy experience!
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 is amazing! I have been with her for almost a month, I can already see some growth
Maya was picked as my therapist the moment I started betterhelp. She gave me a sense of comfort that I really needed when I started therapy. You feel connected to her from the spot. She's honest, welcoming, and kind. I love her approach to coaching, her methods truly worked for me. I'm so thankful and appreciative, my quality of life is a lot better now thanks to her coaching.
Maya has been helping me in so many ways for the past two weeks that I've been speaking to her. I look forward to working with her further to help me love me and become a much better person. I believe i can achieve this with her.
She is great at listening and taking ample time to identify problems with solutions. Works outside the box to offer multiple solutions
Maya really listened to what I would say and write. She responded to each of my concerns and gave me the tools to improve. She also was proactive at reaching out, which was wonderful. She would check in to make sure I was OK and ensure I was continuing my progress towards my goals. I would highly recommend her!
I’ve only worked with her for a few weeks and she has truly been amazing
She's a great therapist
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.
She is very nice and understanding, and working very hard during these difficult times.
I love Maya, she has been there for me and helping me out since the beginning and help me understand what I need to do to succeed in life :)
She’s great, knowledgeable, a good listener and very empathetic while staying neutral. She’s fantastic.
Maya is great, very empathetic and clear in communicating.
Maya is very help and she gives good advice to improve oneself and to improve on factors that can improve one’s mental well being.
So far, despite some organizational issues on my end, Maya has been very helpful for me. In just the short time we've talked, she's already helped show me new stuff that I can use when my mental health declines, as well as helped challenge my way of thinking so that I could be more open.
Maya is great at getting to the core of issues. She listens and suggests helpful ideas for resolving or coping with the issue.
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.
Maya has been great to work with. I experienced a major life change recently and Maya has played a huge roll in my ability to adapt, cope, build and reach goals. I would highly recommend Maya to anyone in a dark place, in need of tools to help cope and lead a happy life. Maya, thank you so much for what you do!
Maya tries her hardest to make sure you are comfortable with the counseling experience but also that you are getting the help you need. It is just the beginning of my time working with her but she has already been very helpful.
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!
Maya is a friend that listens with helpful ears and an open heart; priceless in this rugged journey called life!
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.
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 has been very helpful and quite understanding. I felt a connection to her right away and felt comfortable talking to her. Even though our correspondence has been strictly online it has been easy and comfortable.
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.
