These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Maria Rivera. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with Regain might be different.
Great
She’s wonderful.
Maria is a gift from above. I have total confidence that my wife and I will benefit from a higher degree of quality communication because of Maria’s help.
Maria is a great therapist. She's kind-hearted, insightful, and flexible as we needed certain accommodations in scheduling. I look forward to more sessions with her!
With us she got right to the point. No time wasted she listens and gives both of us the space to talk and reflect.
Very efficient in what she’s doing we appreciate her very much!
Maria is very helpful and understanding, empathetic but not enabling. She also is very patient. She has helped us greatly in a short time.
I recently had the privilege of engaging in a counseling session with Therapist Maria, and I must say, it was an experience that exceeded all expectations. From the comfort of my own home, via a simple phone call, I delved into deep-seated concerns regarding communication within my relationships.
What struck me immediately about Maria was her warmth and empathy, even through the telephone line. Despite it being my first time seeking therapy over the phone, she quickly established a safe and comfortable environment, easing any initial apprehensions I had.
Maria's expertise in relationship counseling became evident as she skillfully guided our conversation. She adeptly honed in on the core issues I was facing in communication with my partner, asking insightful questions and providing valuable perspectives. Her approach was both compassionate and pragmatic, offering practical strategies alongside emotional support.
What truly stood out was Maria's ability to create a sense of connection and understanding, even without the benefit of face-to-face interaction. Through her attentive listening and empathetic responses, she fostered a space where I felt truly heard and validated.
By the end of our session, I felt a newfound clarity and hopefulness regarding my communication challenges. Maria equipped me with valuable tools and insights that I could immediately begin implementing in my relationships.
In conclusion, my experience with Therapist Maria was nothing short of transformative. Despite the distance imposed by phone counseling, Maria's expertise, warmth, and genuine care transcended the physical barriers, leaving a profound impact on my journey towards healthier communication and relationships. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking guidance in navigating the complexities of human connection.
Was late to our first appointment and then a no show on the second appointment. Do not recommend.
