Hi, I’m Max Gorfinkel~

 

Life can feel tough sometimes, whether you’re an adult trying to manage life’s ups and downs, a teenager dealing with the challenges of growing up, or a kid working through big emotions. No matter your age, my goal is to create a safe and supportive space where you feel understood, encouraged, and free to be yourself.

I use a warm and friendly approach, combining evidence-based practices with creative and fun techniques, like games, art, or hands-on activities, that can make therapy engaging and meaningful for anyone. I love helping people of all ages build confidence, resilience, and healthy ways to cope with stress.

My approach is collaborative, and I believe you are the expert on your own life. Together, we can build the tools and strategies that help you feel calmer, stronger, and more confident. Therapy with me focuses on growth, mindfulness, and developing resilience, always at a pace that feels right for you. I want therapy to feel like a place where you can grow, heal, and build the tools you need to handle life’s challenges.

I’m a Registered Clinical Social Worker Intern and earned my Master’s in Social Work from the University of Central Florida. I have experience supporting children, teenagers, and adults with challenges such as anxiety, depression, stress, and life transitions. I believe that everyone has strengths within them, and together we can build on those strengths to create lasting change.

Outside of work, I enjoy traveling, surfing, snowboarding, watching movies, and listening to music. I grew up in Florida, and I share my home with two playful cats who always keep me busy!

Transform your life for the better.
