"I worked with Maribel for about a year. I did learn useful tools throughout my time with her. Specialized therapy like DBT is not covered by most insurances. Also, if you miss an appointment, you are charged the full amount of the appointment. I abided by this policy for over a year. I moved out of state during the pandemic & continued to speak to Maribel. One week, she rescheduled extremely last minute (within 24 hours of the app). I believe a 24 hour cancellation policy was implemented as well. The next appointment, I sat in the zoom waiting room for over 30 minutes; she never showed. Honestly, at this point, I wasn’t upset. I understood that things happen. However, after rescheduling twice & no showing once, I failed to show for our third rescheduled appointment. Without hesitation, I was charged the missed appointment fee. At this point, my trust was broken. In the mental health community, a lot of practitioners talk about how difficult BPD patients are to work with. So, in my opinion a lot of people are in it for the money. Maribel said the fee was to hold patients accountable, but she was obviously unable to hold herself accountable. When I missed the appointment, I’d been seeing Maribel for over a year. I don’t believe I had missed an appointment yet & if I did, I did not push back on the fee. She offered to pay half of the fee but that was after I already showed my dissatisfaction. I think I could’ve found a better therapist, but I gave them three stars because I did learn some regulatory tools. Although, you can just buy the workbook on Amazon & get just as much out of that lol. They use “DBT Skills Training” by Marsha M. Linehan."

"Maribel worked with our daughter for a couple of years and was an amazing resource for her! Maribel is not only very well versed in DBT but she is kind and empathetic. Our entire family learned from her and our collective well being is much better as a result."
