In the midst of life's twists and turns, it's easy to feel like we're wandering aimlessly, grappling with anxiety and uncertainty. But if you're here, it means you're ready to break free from those cycles and embrace a life filled with clarity and purpose. You're ready to heal old wounds, harness control over your thoughts and emotions, and step boldly into the future. I'm Max Komes, and I'm committed to walking alongside you on this journey, offering a space of compassion and the tools you need to discover your inner strength and reclaim your power.

I'm all about working with those who feel like they don't quite fit the mold. If you've ever felt like you're on the outskirts looking in, know that you've found a safe place here. I want to empower you to embrace your authentic self & work towards your goals. I'm particularly drawn to working with individuals who are exploring their identity and personal growth. I love working with members of the LGBTQIA+ community and creating a safe space for healing.

Are you feeling stressed, anxious, or sad? Are you having relationship issues? If you are, it is time to receive the help you deserve and bring peace of mind into your daily life. I can help you get through this hard time in your life so that you can be happy and healthy. You don't have to do this alone or rely on people who do not understand. I am a welcoming and caring therapist that will respect and empathize with what you are going through, without any judgements.

I enjoy helping adults navigate a variety of needs in mental health, including healing from abuse, managing stressors, moving through grief, changing patterns of relating that aren't fulfilling anymore, and finding ways to better communicate and set boundaries. I am passionate about working with individuals in the LGBTQ+ community, and I have a special interest in working with those navigating Bisexuality/Pansexuality/Spaces that are Non-Binary in nature and working with those navigating consensually Non-Monogamous/Polyamorous relationships. Please email to ask about working with me and PLEASE check your spam email for my reply :)

I am passionate about working with those who feel as if they'll never break free from their past. Those who struggle with and can't seem to escape the same patterns, thoughts, and feelings. Maybe you logically -know- something wasn't your fault, but it still -feels- like it was, or you're tired of not feeling "good enough". I take special care in gently creating a safe space where you can be your authentic self, while honoring your unique journey. I have specialized training and experience working with those impacted by trauma, and guiding them towards healing.

My goals in practicing psychology are to help you narrow your focus, set strong goals, and deal more practically with life’s barriers. This can be an intimidating process, which is why I use humor - with a dash of hope - as essential tools. I am skilled in individual and family interventions, executive and consultative coaching, and therapeutic strategies including cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, and solution focused therapies. My experience in medical and rehabilitation settings, including private and veterans hospitals, helped me hone these skills for work with clients from all walks of life.

My path to becoming a therapist was more of a calling than a career decision. I’m not particularly suited to this profession. I’m introverted, which causes me to present as somewhat unfriendly and aloof to strangers. I’m really not concerned with small talk or what I consider the superficialities of life. But when it comes to exploring the deepest, most difficult and painful core aspects of your life that’s the space where I feel most comfortable. The foundation of my practice is my own personal journey in 12-step recovery. I would say I was "chosen" for the gift of recovery from a self-destructive lifestyle more than 34 years ago.

“You may not control all the events that happen to you, but you can decide not to be reduced by them.” – Maya Angelou. Are you a teen or adult struggling with anxiety, depression, anger, trauma, abuse, or adjustments in life? Maybe you’re having difficulties with work, school, or relationships? Or do you just feel stuck dealing with life’s challenges? Do you find yourself saying, “I just don’t know what else to do to stop feeling this way?” Success in life is about problem identification and resolution, resilience, and using practical coping skills and strategies.

Sometimes life feels like we are barely just going through the motions. It can be overwhelming, unmanageable or just unenjoyable. My goal is to help individuals heal, energize, and become aware of their inner strengths. Whether it is you or your child or teen struggling to adjust, a trauma, a struggling relationship or the hardships of managing day to day life, I am here to help you thrive, not just survive. Therapy is work work but it can also be an energizing and fun experience. I strive to make your experience one that you look forward to and benefit from.

Have you ever felt that your life is not happening the way you imagined, that this new direction is not how it's supposed to go? Maybe it's an event that caused this new direction, maybe it's multiple events, maybe you're stuck. Or, maybe it's just everyday stressful events that you need help coping with. Whatever the reason, battle, or struggle is, I'd love to come alongside and help you through your healing process.

Like war, trauma from adult and childhood abuse, hurt from church and family have left many of us just limping through life. Just because you are use to the pain, it doesn't mean you or your love ones should continue to live with the pain. I am honest and I like to see results. I also like to work with clients that are ready to be honest and put in the work to see their desired results. I primarily see adult women with trauma and couples in need of support! My office has clinicians that see individuals of all ages! I am also a Qualified Supervisor that is passionate about supporting Registered Interns on their licensing journey!

I am passionate about providing a safe, non-judgmental space for people to explore and express themselves while also processing and learning to cope with life’s challenges. Sometimes, you need help navigating unwanted thoughts, negative beliefs, past traumas, and relationships. You don’t have to do it alone; that’s where I come in. My goal is to help you begin to function at your best level. I work to offer help with tools to solve problems or just to listen. Together, we can collaborate to help you recognize your own strengths, change unhelpful patterns, and develop skills for coping with life’s difficulties.

If you are looking for a non-judgmental therapist to help you sort through this unpredictable thing we call life, give me a call. I provide a safe space for clients to work through complex thoughts and feelings. I love helping people who are dealing with depression, anxiety, anger, mood changes, behavior changes, life transitions, difficult relationships, etc. I have over 16 years of experience working with people in the community, helping them overcome the challenges they face in their lives. I look forward to speaking to you about ways you can improve your quality of life.

As a Licensed Psychotherapist and Certified Hypnotherapist, I have over 30 years experience in the mental health field, with focus on co-dependency patterns and behaviors and other family dysfunction. I use an eclectic approach based on the clients' needs, not a cookie cutter approach. By creating a safe, non-judgmental, caring environment, healing can occur.

Are you having a hard time with life and do not know what to do? If so, I can help you. I have over six successful years of helping children to adults with difficult situations, mental health issues, and general life stress. I believe all past experiences and relationships shape how we feel about ourselves and the world. It is important for us to heal from the inside to the outside with psychological techniques that work.

Do you feel stuck in your thoughts, feelings, or behaviors? Are you searching for meaning? Are you face-to-face with anxiety, fear, or depression? Are you grieving the death of a loved one? Do you feel alone in the boat of life? We were not designed to face these deep challenges alone. I strongly believe that when we meet that we will be able to co-create ways for you to find hope, meaning, and a pathway to meet your goals.

I am a passionate, innovative psychotherapist. It will be my privilege to walk with you (individuals, families, and couples) on your journey when life becomes difficult. Sometimes we encounter challenges that may be overwhelming, and extremely painful to bare alone such as depression, anxiety, loss, grief, or abandonment. At other times, things may be well, but we could still benefit from having that advocate who cares and can listen, grasp a problem, assess the issues, and assist you with a plan to move forward with your life.

Therapy begins with a faith that you came by your struggles honestly in an effort to protect yourself and make sense of the world. My specialty is helping people recover from narcissistic, physical, sexual, emotional, and spiritual abuse. In addition, I provide treatment for depression, anxiety, trauma, military family stressors and veteran transitions into the civilian sector. My hope is to provide you with an opportunity to disentangle from suffering and aide you in improving your quality of life, increase your satisfaction within relationships, and enhance your self-worth.

When life seems confusing or just too much, it's good to have someone to talk to for comfort, relief, or to process the hard questions. If you struggle with anxiety or depression I invite you to come sit for awhile, unburden, and learn how to approach tough emotions using interventions that are going to best assist your needs.
