Meet Maxcy

I have extensive experience treating anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship and dating difficulties, communication issues, food and body image struggles, addictions, and family conflict. Creating a safe, accepting, and empathetic environment can allow one to tune into their resources, resiliency, sense of strength, and connection to others. Creating this environment helps individuals uncover their stories, find healing and learn new approaches to living the life they want. I specialize in providing psychotherapy to individuals, couples, and families.
