Private psychotherapy and neuroscience-informed coaching for people carrying extraordinary responsibility.
The quality of care depends on the conditions in which it takes place
Privacy matters. Time matters. Continuity matters. Intellectual rigor matters. And therapy should be adapted to the complexity of the person, not the other way around.
Dr. Maxim’s practice is intentionally small because depth requires time, attention, and relationship. She works with a limited number of clients whose lives may be outwardly successful while privately demanding something deeper: greater clarity, healthier relationships, sustainable performance, and a life that feels genuinely their own.
Dr Maxim is a cognitive neuroscientist and psychotherapist with a PhD, international clinical training across European and American systems, and a research foundation in how the brain processes stress, attachment, identity, and change.
Her work integrates cognitive, emotional, somatic, behavioral, and relational systems into a structured, whole-person approach.
Wealth should amplify a life well lived, not serve as a substitute for one.
When conventional therapy doesn’t fit
Some lives do not fit neatly into a weekly 50-minute appointment. Leadership demands change quickly. Travel is frequent. Family dynamics can be complex. Periods of transition may require more support than a traditional schedule allows.
Depending on your needs, we may work weekly, multiple times per week, through extended sessions, or through focused periods of intensive support.
The goal is not simply to provide another appointment. It is to create a therapeutic structure that fits the reality of your life.
Dr. Maxim fully understands the realities of complex, high-responsibility lives, in which financial security can coexist with pressure, isolation, transactional relationships, and deep uncertainty about identity and purpose.
Your privacy matters in every aspect of accessing care
Dr. Maxim maintains a practice designed around discretion, continuity, and personal attention.
Secure telehealth, private communication channels, flexible scheduling, and a carefully structured intake process allow you to access care without unnecessary exposure or administrative complexity.
There are no insurance claims, no diagnostic records in shared databases, and no client information used for marketing or public-facing testimonials.
One Clinician. One Relationship. Continuity.
Your care is not distributed across a large clinical team. Dr. Maxim is personally involved in your work from the initial consultation through the therapeutic process.
Direct Access
Concierge clients have access to direct communication with Dr. Maxim between scheduled sessions when clinically appropriate, allowing important developments to be addressed without waiting for the next appointment.
Psychological care for people navigating complex lives
Dr. Maxim provides discreet, individualized care for accomplished individuals and families who value privacy, depth, and a clinician who genuinely understands their world.
Founders and Executives
Leaders who need a trusted confidant with both psychological depth and a genuine understanding of leadership pressure, decision-making under chronic stress, and the isolation that accompanies visibility and responsibility.
High-Visibility Lives
Individuals whose professional position, public profile, family name, or business responsibilities make privacy particularly important. Therapy provides a private environment to address personal concerns without making your professional identity part of the process.
Couples in Complex Lives
Partners who remain deeply committed but recognize that careers, wealth, travel, public responsibilities, and family expectations have gradually changed the architecture of their relationship. The work is about rebuilding trust and closeness beyond status and comfort.
Families and Multigenerational Systems
Families navigating communication, attachment, boundaries, power, expectations, inheritance, succession, and the emotional consequences of major family decisions. Individual sessions alongside couples or family work where appropriate.
Next-Generation and Legacy
Emerging adults and next-generation family members navigating the psychological dimensions of wealth, inheritance, expectations, independence, responsibility, identity, and purpose. Developing an authentic life beyond family legacy.
Professionals in Transition
Individuals navigating divorce, business exits, career reinvention, sudden changes in financial reality, or the realization that success, as once defined, no longer fits. Post-separation identity reconstruction is a particular area of expertise.
Psychological care for families navigating complex relationships, responsibility, transition, and legacy.
Understanding what money changes psychologically, and what it cannot
Wealth changes the psychological environment in which relationships, identity, parenting, responsibility, and decision-making occur.
Dr. Maxim’s work explores the human side of wealth: what happens when financial security coexists with pressure, expectations, visibility, family responsibility, or uncertainty about one’s own identity.
The work is not about managing money. It is about understanding the psychological landscape that wealth creates, and navigating it with clarity, self-awareness, and genuine connection.
Parenting, Privilege, and Family Culture
Parenting with substantial resources. Boundaries and entitlement. Emotional resilience and autonomy. Family expectations and values. Preparing young adults for independence, responsibility, and a healthy relationship with wealth.
Inheritance, Succession, and Readiness
The emotional dimensions of estate planning and wealth transfer. Preparing heirs not just financially but psychologically. Family governance, generational communication, and the human side of succession.
Therapy and coaching, clearly defined
Dr. Maxim offers two distinct service lines: Psychotherapy in Washington State, and neuroscience-informed executive coaching available to clients worldwide. Both share the same clinical depth and proprietary frameworks.
Concierge Psychotherapy
Psychotherapy for individuals, couples, and families. Assessment, treatment, and deep therapeutic work grounded in a Neuroscience-informed Framework.
Private-pay, concierge structure with limited caseload. Complete confidentiality and no insurance involvement.
- Ongoing individual, couples, or family therapy
- Extended 60- or 90-minute sessions
- Multiple sessions per week when needed
- Private intensives for complex situations
- Between-session access via encrypted messaging
- Secure telehealth or in-person in Bellevue
Neuroscience-Informed Executive Coaching
Future-focused coaching for high-performing professionals who want to optimize their decision-making, leadership, and personal clarity using the science of how the brain works.
Coaching is not psychotherapy. It draws on the same neuroscience foundation, applied to performance, strategy, and growth.
- Performance and leadership under pressure
- Career transitions and post-exit identity
- Wealth psychology and money dynamics
- Next-generation readiness and family governance
- Burnout prevention and sustainable performance
- USA, Canada, UK, Europe, Singapore, Brazil
Thoughtful access, continuity, and clinical depth
Concierge care is not defined by unlimited access. It is defined by thoughtful access, continuity, responsiveness, and clinical judgment. The therapeutic relationship remains structured around professional boundaries, privacy, and what genuinely supports meaningful change.
Dr. Maxim approach is to know her clients deeply, remain responsive when circumstances change, and provide continuity rather than passing care between providers. The number of clients she accepts is constrained by the level of attention she wants each engagement to receive.
Designed around your life. Frequent travel should not mean losing continuity. Sessions can be scheduled across time zones and structured around demanding travel and leadership calendars.
Private Intensives
- Relationship rupture and crisis
- Divorce and post-separation adjustment
- Major life transitions

Work with a cognitive neuroscientist, anywhere in the world
Dr. Maxim’s coaching practice brings neuroscience expertise to high-performing professionals and affluent families who want more than motivation: they want to understand the architecture of how they think, decide, connect, and perform.
This is not life coaching. It is a research-grounded, neuroscience-informed partnership for people who operate at the highest levels and expect a coach who can meet them there.
Whether you are a founder preparing for a liquidity event, an inheritor building an independent identity, a physician recalibrating after decades of clinical intensity, or a family navigating the emotional dimensions of estate planning, my coaching brings depth, discretion, and intellectual rigor without geographic limitation.
Sessions are conducted via secure video and structured around your schedule and time zone. Monthly retainer and intensive formats are available.
