These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Dr. Maria T Herrera. 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.
Dr. Herrera is kind, gentle, and thoughtful. I’ve always felt heard and respected during all of our conversations, and I’ve greatly enjoyed my time talking with her. I highly recommend her as a therapist.
