See what our patients are saying about Maria Lai

I began seeing Maria in early March 2025 when my therapist suddenly and unexpectedly passed away. She and I instantly clicked and I knew right away I was going to have a genuine, trusting relationship with her. And I was right. She is always there whenever I feel like I need someone. She gives great insight and support, and never once made me feel as though I was overreacting. She is the absolute best! I couldn’t be happier to have her in my corner.

I have been a patient of Maria for many many years . I love Maria she's my therapist and my friend. That's how satisfied and content I am. Maria has helped me establish a new sense of self that has continually helped me stay focused, grounded and steadfast during all of the trials and pressures in my life.
