Structural Family Therapy in Blue Bell, PA

I am a licensed clinical psychologist working primarily with adolescents, families with younger children, and adults struggling with family relationships. I see many children presenting with oppositional and defiant behaviors, overcoming trauma and abuse, or suffering from significant mood dysregulation, each of which can put a whole family in distress. My work with adults generally focuses on issues of marital relationships, divorces, and parenting. I help people resolve conflicts, improve communication, and change unproductive habits. I also often treat anxiety and stress related to work, trauma, and relationships.

My practice is dedicated to assist individuals, couples, and families by empowering them to overcome adversities. Entering therapy is a step in demonstrating strength and resiliency. I have an appreciation for this strength and consider it an important part of the therapy process. I approach each client with respect on where they are at the time when entering therapy. When personal growth is felt and experienced it can be rewarding and life altering. It is my intention and responsibility to be an active listener, give thoughtful and educational input for growth and healing at the pace and needs of each client.

My inclusive work focuses on: Helping people to feel regulated and empowered, and to feel seen, safe, and valued for who they are in our process together; those struggling with trauma, PTSD, depression and anxiety; chronic pain, grief and loss, phobias, racing thoughts, crossroads and upheaval; as well as Body Image, with a specific focus on Body Neutrality and Health At Every Size (HAES) – all with mindfulness, compassion, and acceptance.

Immediate openings for in-person and virtual sessions! I have vast experience working with individuals who struggle with Trauma, PTSD, Anxiety, Depression, substance abuse, criminal involvement, Bipolar, Borderline Personality Disorder, as well as other personality/mood disorders. In my work, I utilize a person-centered approach that focuses on empathizing with you as an individual trying to heal from your experiences. I feel that my solution-based approach can help guide you through your issues and facilitate a more productive lifestyle.

Life is often full of demands on time, energy and resources that can take a toll on our physical and emotional well being. I work with children, adolescents, adults and families to cope with these demands while also helping them identify their strengths and potential so that they may achieve a more balanced, fulfilling and enjoyable life.

You feel alone even when you're around others. Things that used to bring you joy are not on your schedule anymore. Your thoughts of work, school, relationships, and even food are overwhelming. You want to find answers but don't know where to begin. That is until now. You have taken the difficult step just to get here. This tells us both that things can get better, and they will get better. I want to collaborate with you, support you, and dedicate myself to helping you find those answers. Let's take this courageous journey together and find the way to feeling fulfilled, happy, and enjoying life.

Evidence-Based Therapy with a Love-Based Approach. As a clinical psychologist devoted to practicing therapy, I value the individual strengths, perspectives and histories of each person. I believe that healing and growth occur within the context of a supportive and accepting relationship. Thus, I am highly attentive to our therapeutic relationship and more importantly, to the relationships that already exist in your life. Our work is tailored to your specific needs, strengths and values. My approach to therapy is relational, systemic, trauma-informed and love-based.

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 (11 and older) because life can be confusing and having some help makes day-to-day challenges easier.

Concerns related to sex and intimacy are some of the most sensitive and personal. Experiencing sexual concerns, such as low sexual desire, erectile dysfunction, pelvic pain, or difficulty with orgasm no longer has to be secretive or embarrassing. Finding a therapist who is open, supportive, and has effective tools is imperative on the journey to satisfaction and pleasure. Using a Cognitive Behavioral & collaborative approach, I work with individuals or couples to help them further understand the concerns that effect them, their relationships, & their sexual functioning.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Pennsylvania and have been working in mental health since 2008. I began my work in a preschool partial hospitalization program and a community outpatient program with children, adults, and families. I have also worked as a Family Based Services (FBS) therapist and director. I co-founded Conshohocken Counseling Services in 2012 and have been enjoying providing clients with assistance in their life journeys since then.

I believe that every person deserves someone in their corner; someone to listen and truly hear what they’re going through. All it takes is one person to believe in you and your ability to grow. With that in mind, I bring compassion, understanding, and energy when joining with clients to build strategies for self-regulation, independence, and healthy relationships. I have a keen understanding of the issues and pressures faced by youth and young adults today in an ever-changing world.

I am interested not only addressing your individual symptoms, but exploring a deeper understanding and awareness of who you are, helping you construct new ways of thinking, feeling and behaving now and in the future. With my 20 years of experience in counseling adults, teens and children with anxiety, depression, mood disorders and behavioral challenges, I can help identify what has and has not worked in the past and help you have a different outcome this time. I can guide you to resource positive ways of coping and relating by accessing your strengths to manage life's changes and challenges.
