Maureen has been awesome help! I was skeptical on therapy and this platform working but she met me where I was at and has really helped me with the process. She’s kind, understanding, and a good listener. She offers solid advice without judgement. It’s nice to have an outsiders opinion and help me get back to a central thinking space when life is going crazy.

Recent reviews
I have recently started working with Maureen, she is a great match for me. I feel heard and can notice more about myself as I aspire to grow for myself, not for others. With counseling I was hesitant on opening up about my personal life. Her introduction was smooth and made me feel at ease. Thank you so much!

Hello and welcome! First, I want to acknowledge you for taking the next step to receiving support and help with whatever you are currently experiencing - that takes courage and energy to take care of yourself.
My name is Maureen and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in New York. I have over 5 years of experience working with individuals on various aspects of life, including substance abuse and dependence, addiction within the family dynamic, issues within the family dynamic, various mental health issues, and managing through various life transitions. Specifically, I have experience working in outpatient substance abuse and mental health treatment clinics, inpatient substance abuse treatment, college mental health counseling, group counseling, life coaching and care management.
My therapeutic approach when working with clients is first and foremost, to meet you where you are. I believe there is a lot of power in allowing the client to discover and utilize autonomy in the counseling process. I will also provide you with concrete tools to begin utilizing, so you can begin to find relief in whatever you are seeking. I utilize techniques and approaches from cognitive-behavioral therapy (identifying the way we think that may be problematic or disruptive, challenging those thoughts and patterns and changing them to change the way behave and feel), person-centered therapy (allowing the client to play the lead role in their therapy, without judgement from the therapist and unconditionally accepting and supporting you despite what you bring to therapeutic experience), and motivational interviewing (beginning with your existing motivation, discovering underutilized existing motivation, and creating new motivations to create change in your life).
Again, I acknowledge you for taking the next step to providing relief and taking care of yourself. I view the mind and our mental health equally as important as our physical health and I believe mental health care is imperative to continued health, growth and life. I look forward to working with you!

About online counseling

- Convenient.

- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Maureen is fantastic. She provides a space that I feel very comfortable in, is kind and competent, and I feel better after our sessions.
So far working with Maureen has been great. She always has very helpful feedback and asks questions that get towards the root of the issue. I am looking forward to continuing working with her.
Maureen is a caring therapist. When I read her questions or responses, I know she’s read message I sent. Regardless of the large amount I sent. With her, I feel recognized.
Very caring, professional and effective counselor. Wouldn’t want anyone else!
I have been working with Maureen for just over two months now and she has been so helpful and such a pleasure to work with. Maureen has been instrumental in helping me to understand the utility of all the emotions we experience related to our ever changing lives. Maureen offers tools and strategies that support the growth I want to make in my own life, while also working with me through my perception of what holds me back.
Maureen is an excellent therapist. I really appreciate her holistic approach and all of the guidance she has given me. She has helped hold a mirror to me to help me overcome obstacles in my life. Can't say enough good things. I'd highly recommend her!
Maureen is great and will work with you around your schedule the best she can.
10, 10, 10s across the board. She listens without judging and seems to know when to offer advice and solution-based goals- and, when to just make you look at something a little differently, find a different headspace, or not be so harsh on yourself (while remaining realistic). I’ve very much enjoyed my sessions with her- highly recommend!
After my first 15 minutes with Maureen, I knew I was in good hands. I really appreciate her balance between listening, asking questions, and making suggestions. I have already told my friend to join betterhelp & specifically try to find Maureen.
Maureen has been awesome giving advice I've been coping some life changes problems 5 stars! Thank you for your insight.
Maureen takes the time to try to understand what you are trying to achieve and then offers very helpful suggestions on how to get from where you are to where you want to be. She is a very insightful counselor.
