More about Maxine
- 8 years' experience
- Female
- LPC
I have been in the mental health profession for over 10 years. I've worked in the school setting as a school counselor and within the community as a behavioral specialist providing behavioral modification to families. I have also provided individual and group therapy in homes. I have informed parents of various community supports such as Family Connections and Developmental Pediatrics to help them with getting special education services in place for their children with special needs. I've worked with these children on their social skills, independent living skills, and self-esteem. Being a mom of a child with special needs helps in my understanding of the frustration that these children with special needs and their parents face daily.
As a client-focused therapist who works with teens and adults of various ages, I believe in listening attentively to my clients and assisting them in finding their solutions to their issues. I feel that we all have the power to transform ourselves by learning ways to change our negative thoughts and actions into positive thoughts and actions. I encourage my clients to use techniques such as positive self-talk, mindfulness and journaling to help facilitate these changes. Because clients have to be willing to put in the work towards healing, I remind them of that by modeling and illustrating these techniques for them.
I will provide an environment that is not judgmental with understanding. I will also evaluate clients for any type of self-harm behaviors. I understand that sometimes clients just need to talk, to feel understood and know that it is okay not feel okay. This is especially crucial for individuals to realize in these times because of the pandemic, which has more people dealing with depression, trying to find a balance in life, and re-examining their place in this world.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space. Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

I have been in and out of therapy for 30 years with different therapists and Maxine is by far the best therapist I have ever had. Maxine is very caring, loving, trustworthy, and knowledge. I feel very comfortable with Maxine, and she has made a difference in my mental health.
I feel very blessed to be working with Maxine. She is a great listener and she always provides me a safe, non-judge mental space to share anything that is on my mind. She has really helped me to gently challenge harmful thought patterns that I have, and I now feel much more empowered to pursue my own happiness and self-worth. 10/10.
My therapist is amazing! She is an engaged listener, she checks on me frequently, and she is incredibly validating while also gently challenging me to reach for my goals. 10/10, I'm so happy that after years of searching I finally found the right fit!
Makes me feel cared for!
My therapist is full of wisdom and listens to what I have to say making me feel cared about. She is able to offer me comfort and support and is very kind.
