These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Dr. Persa Maerz. 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 had 3 sessions with Dr. Maerz so far and I'm really satisfied. She is a very competent therapist, who was able to put me at ease and supported me by giving practical tools from the start to deal with anxiety-related issues but also accompanied me in challenging my thoughts.
