Therapists in Ambler, PA

If you are seeking a clinician who is solution oriented, look no further! I have been in the field for nearly 20 years working with individuals and families. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who specializes in relationships, anxiety, depression and anger management. My style is collaborative, with a focus on: Finding and highlighting your personal strengths, creating clear goals which have identified items that determine accomplishment, building up your skills to sustain long term success and reinforcing growth while encouraging continued development.

I am a passionate, client-centered, and skilled Licensed Professional Counselor. I strive to meet my clients wherever they happen to be in the moment of seeking therapy and help them get to where they want to be through using evidence-based interventions, encouragement, support, and empowerment. It is my privilege to offer help and hope to my clients who are facing challenges in their life’s journey. I strongly believe that clients are the expert on their own lives and they have the answers to their own questions. My role is to work with my clients to find those answers, and help them become the best version of themselves.

Finding a therapist, especially during periods of stress, can be extremely overwhelming. Yet, the connection, the solutions, and the relief that you can access in therapy is priceless. If you’re feeling stuck and don’t know which direction to go in, or if you’re searching for ways to save your relationship, I may be the right fit for you! I have spent the last five years as a trauma therapist for the U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs, providing thousands of hours of psychotherapy.

A great deal of my professional practice has been working with individuals, groups, couples and families, substance abuse, and LGBTQIA+ populations. I understand that no single approach is the right one for everyone & it is important to meet each person where they are. I believe it is important to tailor the therapy approach to each individual. As such, I use various approaches, including Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Humanistic Therapy, EMDR, Person-Centered, & Gottman Method for couples therapy. Let me help you get unstuck & develop skills to improve in the ways you would like. I am currently offering IOP and PHP groups.

My approach to therapy is both compassionate and empathetic. I believe we all have the ability to grow and change if we have the necessary support, desire and tools. Through the therapeutic relationship and process, clients can improve the quality of their lives by gaining a better understanding of themselves. My goal is to help my clients gain courage and self awareness to live life fully. My approach is collaborative, intuitive and gestalt. I specialize in grief and loss, trauma, relationship issues, illness, anxiety, depression, women's issues, postpartum depression and issues related to chronic health.

The feeling of being safe, valued, and connected is something we all need and desire. We also crave relief and healing when we feel hurt or crushed in our emotional, relational, or life experiences. At times, we may try to cope by putting more effort or energy into numbing the pain or distancing ourselves from the problem only to find that it really hasn'tbeen resolved, or that we're even more entangled. What would it feel like to be listened to and deeply heard; to have your experiences validated; and to not be alone in gaining perspective and empowerment so that you can experience safety, worth, and connection again?

Are you looking for a highly qualified therapist? Are you looking for a therapist that will help you to get well quickly?

Welcome! My name is Max and I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor. I have in-person sessions based out of Conshohocken and Blue Bell, and virtual sessions throughout Pennsylvania. I specialize with couples and teens because life can be confusing and having some help makes day-to-day challenges easier.

With such uncertain times, every individual and relationship is struggling with the most basic tasks of day-to-day living. This collective trauma has re-triggered past traumas in addition to increasing anxieties, mood issues, sleep problems, and a strong sense of unease. Individuals, as well as couples, are looking to go from surviving to thriving in this “new normal.” I can help you with this leap towards a more satisfying life. I teach skills and give tools to individuals/ couples, allowing for a greater sense of peace and fulfillment with their lives.

During the winter months, Jan, Feb and March, I can meet with you in person in Basalt, Colorado or online.

I specialize in care for children, teens, young adults, and families: 1) Building cooperation and openness in place of defiance and lying; 2) Cultivating self-control in place of tantrums and aggression; 3) Fostering contentment and self-confidence in place of sadness and worry; and 4) Developing genuine closeness in place of clinging and irritability. I am a licensed clinical psychologist with over 20 years of experience addressing core relational issues of protection, loyalty, authority, trust, fairness, and forgiveness. I help families heal from generational wounds and allow children develop appropriate individuation, using the secure base of a trusting parent-child relationship.
