Humans have a natural need to show up and be celebrated for who they truly are. My job is to help you better understand yourself, your choices, and your process. Together, we will identify the internal narratives, subconscious programming, and behaviors that are not in alignment with your authentic self.

Spiritual Intuitive. You are stuck. Want to get out of your situation? Crave release of old patterns, feelings, beliefs? Desire to achieve, but can't quite reach what you should be yours, but isn't? To find the answers, explore your own subconscious. You may be holding onto old stuff from your earlier years, or picked up a belief from family, culture, peers, etc. that hinders you in your life today. You desire to be free, to have the burden lifted, to find success. Anger, fear, sadness or lack of Joy bog you down? By going within, you can find all the old issues, and through Intuitive guidance and energy work, Release It All.

As a Veteran, I specialize in helping men navigate life's challenges.

I am a cognitive behavioral therapist with experience helping people feel better emotionally, behave more functionally and experience long-lasting change. I specialize in anxiety and depression, and employ a present-oriented, structured therapy that involves problem solving, mindfulness and looking at things from a new, more helpful perspective. I also employ outcome measures so we can closely gauge our progress, without having to make vague estimates. I studied applied psychology at New York University, and went on to receive my Doctor of Psychology at St. John's University where I received intensive CBT training.

Are you feeling hesitant, worried, shut down, or withdrawn? Or perhaps a little low, not quite yourself, & trying to figure out what to do? Are old patterns you've used to manage no longer working? Perhaps I can help. Using a combination of mindful awareness, somatic (body)/nervous system regulation work & Internal Family Systems/parts work, we can explore the different aspects of ourselves & start to move towards the changes we'd like to see. I offer in person services in Brooklyn, NY or worldwide via Zoom video. I offer a free brief phone or video consult to see if we're a good fit: feel free to book yours at www.maximeclarity.com

Please don’t ask me to help you become "normal" (most damaging concept ever, IMO) because you can and should aim higher than that. But please do ask me for help learning about, and becoming, your very own unique self, in all your beautiful, hilarious, infuriating, idiosyncratic glory. As with most big undertakings, this work can be rough going at times. But if you're like most of the folks who come through here -smart, creative, successful, growth-oriented people who have done a lot of personal work already, whether in an official therapeutic context or otherwise- you are, by this point, more than ready to get into the trenches.

I believe that at their very core, human beings desire to live meaningful, connected lives. Using a cognitive, as well as existential and spiritual approach, I will help you engage your suffering in a fresh way so you can live a more present, contented existence. I am a mindfulness-based, existential psychotherapist located in Brooklyn, New York. My ideal client is someone who is interested in an alternative to Western psychology and has some interest or experience in Eastern thought or spirituality. Anyone who has found usefulness in psychedelics in the past could also be a good fit.

My approach to supporting others to heal, grow, and better cope with life challenges and transitions incorporates awareness-building, cultivating acceptance and compassion, and providing a space that invites the possibility of exploring new ways of being. These elements empower individuals to take ownership of how they choose to create their lives and to find greater wellbeing and fulfillment. We often do not realize that the very habits and behaviors that cause us to feel stuck or block us from having what we want were necessary tools for survival at some point in our lives. Understanding such patterns is an important step.

It is in my belief that we are all intrinsically whole, deserving and worthy of love and meaningful connections. However, somewhere along the way we have incurred pain and hurtful experiences that have tainted our story and lens of how we see the world and ourselves. Sometimes the narrative runs so deep that we can’t stop the thoughts and feelings that flow continuously. In this way, everyday feels like a struggle. Perhaps you secretly feel lost and lonely or you struggle with feelings of anxiety, insecurity or sadness and are uncertain about how to navigate the complexity of your emotions. Wherever you are - your story matters.

Do you often have the sense you're not in charge of your own life? In overwhelm? I believe difficulties in living are a sign we've outgrown certain habits, behaviors or views. What may have helped us survive in the past doesn't help us flourish in the here and now. So, we find ourselves stuck - in a painful relationship, an unsatisfying job situation, or with unpleasant physical symptoms of anxiety or depression. Our suffering may be a great awakener, calling us out of the sleep of unconsciousness, asking us what it is we really want. I provide a sensitive, warm spaciousness that invites your whole self to address that question.
