Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Maya is very attentive and compassionate. I always feel better after talking to her.
Very professional and kind , understanding and helps you understand your position.
Maya Bates is very good at what she does. Great listener, very supportive and able to help me see things from a perspective I wasn’t able to see on my own. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a great therapist.
Maya has been very helpful with my process. She listens well and gives great feedback and guidance, but certainly is not pushy. Her and my personalities mesh well. She has been a joy to work with.
Maya has been great. She provides a comforting and safe environment to express and explore my emotions. During our very first session I felt validated and heard. I would definitely recommend Maya to others.
Maya has been extremely helpful to me in healing
This is my first time starting therapy and maya Bates has done a phenomenal job. She is kind and compassionate she actually cares about you and she checks in frequently I can text her anytime. I would highly recommend maya as your therapist.
Maya has been a great listener and I value her advice. This is my first experience with therapy of any kind, and I find Maya easy to talk to and to be a good listener. I really do feel that she has insight into my issues, and she gives me good advice. I feel that she is truly interested in me--she is just not "doing her job". That is not to say that she is not professional--on the contrary, but she takes the time to listen and respond to my concerns.
Maya is great.
Maya is great! She listens to everything I have to say and responds accordingly. I don’t feel rushed like I have at other places! I appreciate her!
