Maya Lane, MFT

Maya is truly INVALUABLE!!!
I have fully enjoyed working with Maya as a therapist. She has helped me soooo much this past year, I’m eternally grateful. She is a very caring and nurturing spirit who through her genuine interest and attentiveness is helping me navigate through this complicated life. She is open, honest and without judgement. She not only listens but gives you the tools to practice outside of the office. I would recommend her to EVERYONE.

This review is long overdue.
Me and my wife had been going through a very rocky patch for a while and it seemed as though our marriage was on the outs. When we discovered that she was pregnant in August of 2013 we decided that we had to get our situation figured out and that we should begin couples therapy.
I can honestly that Maya helped save our marriage. When we started seeing her we were ready to divorce. Now when we go in things have gotten so good between us that we find little to complain about because things have gotten so good now. She brought us from a stage of near destruction in our relationship to a stage of rekindled love and a life of happiness together.
I have nothing but good things to say about Maya.

I have worked with Maya Lane for 2 years now and find her to be an excellent therapist. It’s rare to find someone with the strong somatic therapeutic skills as well as the clear life experience she has. Grounded, deep listener, wise, and very skilled. I’ll often leave a session with her feeling like something shifted on a deep level without being sure how she did it. I highly recommend her.

Maya is a wonderful therapist!
She has a calm, attentive and thoughtful nature that nurtures focused introspection.
Maya helped us achieve our goals of pre-​marriage alignment by addressing common points of conflict, working with us to understand tendencies in our relationship, allowing us to talk through our issues, and identify techniques that we can use to communicate more clearly and effectively.
Maya is great at creating a friendly environment that allows open communication between partners.
Thanks for all the support, guidance and great insights, Maya!

I refer clients and friends to Maya without hesitation and have consistently received positive feedback from them.
Maya is a skillful listener who has a warmth and compassion that you can easily feel.
She does thoughtful individual work but is also a couples counselor who can help you connect more deeply and more authentically in your relationship. Maya knows how to help couples improve their communication, decrease the dysfunction and emotional avoidance, and promote the strengths each couple already has.
If you’re looking for a therapist or couple’s counselor in SF then look no further. Maya is a gem.

My husband and I needed to reconnect and learn how to thoughtfully communicate our needs to each other again. No one teaches you how to be married but finding the right support can certainly put you back on track by being stronger and wiser. Maya most certainly helped us have the hard conversations but feel comfortable being open and honest with each other. Our marriage is now on a new level and we could not have achieved this without Maya’s care and guidance.

Insightful and just what we were looking for!
My husband and I are newly weds. We wanted to start our first year of marriage learning specific communication tools to grow our marriage into a long lasting union.
Maya helped us do just that. She listened to our needs as a couple and really taught us the tools to help us identify our feelings and then communicate them effectively for our personal needs.
Maya is intuitive and kind. We felt as ease with her and really appreciated all the work she did with us. We hope to have check ins with her in the future to nurture our relationship in the future.
Thank you, Maya!

Maya’s gentle, intuituve and supportive spirit has allowed me to grow and transform in ways I used to think impossible. She has given me a safe place to recognizing my own strength… and weaknesses.
I cannot speak more highly of this woman, she has and is helping me change my life.

Maya is a truly caring therapist. I feel like I am treated like a human being, as opposed to a «patient,» when I am with her. She is super compassionate, but has not been afraid to challenge me either. In terms of practical techniques, Maya has used some mindfulness and somatic-​type techniques in my therapy, which have been particularly helpful in deepening «the work.»
I have experienced Maya to be a very open-​minded clinician with a huge heart, who can empathize with the darkness but also see the light in any situation. Maya is also just a really amazing, down-​to-​earth, supportive person to meet with every week, and I feel really lucky to have found Maya’s practice.

When I think of Maya, what comes to mind is «mother of all». Her presence allows you to feel safe, understood, listened to, embraced, and nourished. Through her natural being she creates a sacred space for healing, something we need more of in our world. She is a wise soul who brings light to life of so many beings. Maya is and will continue to be a source of inspiration for me and I am deeply grateful for having met her and her beautiful family.

Maya Lane has been a continual source of strength and compassion for me. Above all, I am indebted to Maya for helping me make peace with my mind’s critical voice. I think most people would agree in the difficulty of admitting personal fears and weaknesses. It didn’t take long for me to feel comfortable and trusting of her insight and wisdom. Maya seems to always shift my negative tone and self-​criticism into a nurturing and loving process: one that transforms shame into inspiration. I can’t begin to count how many moments I had found myself thinking and/​or stating, «Ohhhh… I hadn’t considered that…» from her mentioning just a few words, usually reiterating something I had said! I’m astonished at her intuition and capacity to get to the deeper root of my exaggerated life’s tales. In fact, I’m pleased to share that our time together has given me the courage and permission to truly start embracing myself and let go of old insecurities. I am forever grateful of Maya’s ability to consistently help me overcome life’s harder obstacles. I am a better person for having met Maya Lane. I highly recommend her services.
