These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Maureen Coley. 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.
Maureen is always there for me when I need help -whether it t be a validating word of affirmation or a firm hand. She has helped me advocate for myself and gotten me through one of the hardest times in my life.
