I am a proponent of therapy because I have personally experienced the benefits and the sense of empowerment that comes from the process.

But ultimately, they need a fresh perspective on what it means for them to be alive, and to regain the sense that their choices matter.

Dr. Maxwell specializes in treating chronically turbulent emotions, as well as difficulties relating comfortably and effectively to others.

Mental health is part of your physical health. You cannot have one without the other. No one is exempt from facing mental health struggles at one time or another in their life. It is not uncommon during times of mental health struggles, either it be an isolated incident of panic , short-term and long-term anxiety , tragedy, situational depression, or circumstances that were out of your control that caused you to have a "new normal." Therapy will alleviate these stressors through a process of personal insight, change, and opening your eyes to a new way of seeing your life and how you react to it.
