What Therapy Looks Like With Max

Therapy with Max is collaborative, adaptable, and centered around you. Sessions are structured enough to feel purposeful, yet flexible enough to meet whatever’s most present for you that day. His approach is trauma-informed, practical, and focused on creating lasting change at your own pace.

Modalities Max integrates include:

  • CBT & DBT – Skill-building to manage thoughts, emotions, and distress

  • EMDR – Processing difficult past experiences or emotional “stuck points”

  • EFT & SFBT – Exploring emotional patterns and identifying clear goals

  • Music Therapy-Informed Practice – Especially helpful for children and teens who benefit from creative, nonverbal expression

  • Mindset Coaching & Person-Centered Support – Helping you build self-trust and insight

Max believes real progress happens when clients feel safe, respected, and heard. Whether you’re ready for change or still figuring out what healing looks like, Max will pace with you—offering support, structure, and space to grow.
