Even though I’ve been licensed both as a marriage and family therapist and a mental health counselor for over 30 years, it’s hard for me to define exactly what school of therapy I practice. My therapeutic style is a combination of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectal Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy with a lot of Neurolinguistics Programming in the mix. I am constantly studying new techniques and approaches because what will help you is most important knowledge I can have. Early on I was strongly influenced by Alfred Adler who was a contemporary of Freud. Adler believed that childhood experiences influence how we feel about ourselves and how we react to various situations. Like Adler my basic theory is that people are always moving from feeling not quite good enough to feeling significant, feeling we matter. We all need to feel significant to have the confidence, drive and energy to meet the world head on, knowing that we'll be successful. I’ll work with you like I do with my other clients to help you learn to access and nurture those traits within yourself that will make your life significant to you, help you live up to your values and, in some small way, make the world a better place. A person usually needs to feel good about themselves before making lasting changes. As a client you will know that I am in your corner. We’re going to be finding your strength, intelligence, compassion, and motivation that is already there inside you and help you learn how to use these qualities to make the changes you want to make. . Other clients describe me as a nurturing, empathetic, encouraging person. I hope that’s true. I do know that I promise to listen, really listen and hear what you are saying and help you make the changes you want to.

Dr. Lebowitz does a fantastic job of making you comfortable and relaxed. She has helped me open up and express my thoughts clearly.

Maxine has guided me through many positive life changes and times of growth. I chose her because of her strong expertise and experience as a therapist, and stayed with her for years because of her compassion, care and delicate way of helping me see what I couldn't always see. I'm so grateful for her. She has such a wide variety of knowledge in mental health and is always working to learn more. She has helped me understand things in new ways and I feel like more of myself and a stronger person thanks to her support.

Dr Lenowitz has been absolutely amazing. I am so happy and grateful that I got matched with her. From day one she could identify exactly where I was at and what my needs were. Every session I have with her has always brought me to a place of forward movement. She’s attentive. She listens. She’s warm and very supportive. She doesn’t impose her own ideas but shares them where relevant and always leave to make your own choice and that for me is empowering. I am definitely happy to have her as my therapist.

Dr. Lebowitz knows how to challenge your perceptions on things without being confrontation. She has excelled at pointing out things I haven't even told her. She isn't rude, just very knowledgeable and eager to share that knowledge. I feel respected during our sessions. And while getting therapy was a hard decision. She is willing to put in the time and effort for me to feel like I can discuss things with her even if I think they are silly, or are hard to talk about.

Maxine is such a wonderful, fantastic lady, a highly skilled therapist with lots of different methods, which she easily tailors & changes smoothly to fit each and every thing in all ways. I have never met and worked with better person and therapist as Maxine. She is also beyond amazing in all the ways she brings about her compassionate, empathetic self--which you don't really ever find. Watch out--- she's the BEST in all she brings.

Dr. Maxine Lebowitz is the most wonderful therapist and person!!!
She has so many great qualities, that it will be hard to include everything. Dr. Maxine Lebowitz is very professional, highly skilled, has more knowledge than any therapist I have ever worked with in my life (and I am older), so very kind, understanding of everything, compassionate, empathetic, listens very well, is so wise, has tons of great experience, is so very pleasant, never gets upsets if you are having problems doing things right or well enough, is reliable, dependable, so considerate, extremely smart and intelligent.
Dr. Maxine Lebowitz is quite amazing in so many ways. It is hard to really image that I have been blessed to be able to work with her, as people like Dr. Maxine Lebowitz do not come around hardly ever in life, and I mean this is the most appreciate, wonderful way.
I know my life would have been way different if I had been able to be connected with Dr. Maxine Lebowitz at an early age. I am just so thankful that Dr. Maxine Lebowitz is here now, here at Betterhelp. Things worked out so that I am able to be connected with her now, which is like reaching a prize at the end of a journey down life's rainbow.
I have a very complicated case, with what I bring. An average therapist does not have a clue as to how to even began to help me, or work with me. Many in my process have dismissed me quite quickly,,..some after three days, some after 4 days, some after a week, some after 1.5 weeks, etc. I just know that they were not able to help me. I am glad that they did turn me down , as it has opened the door for me to be able to work with the most wonderful, best therapist that I could ever hope to find anywhere in life. It is so nice to be able to see where I am now, with Dr. Maxine Lebowitz, feel so wonderful about it, be so pleased with her, her top-notch, caring help, be so thankful and blessed for reaching this point to be able to be in therapy with her--as things work out in wonderful ways.
I know how to really appreciate Dr. Maxine Lebowitz in so many, tremendous ways.

Dr Liebowitz has been the kind of therapist we all deserve. She’s a kind, authentic professional who cares deeply. Her nurturing approach helped me to forgive myself, to live in the present moment, to be all I hope to be in my own evolution.

I have never felt so supported - Maxine listens, never judges and offers me advice and things to think about. She has a very calm manner and I feel so much more positive after speaking to her. She is very kind and caring and on the times that I have felt the lowest, has been in contact with me, supporting me. She has gone above and beyond what I ever expected with her response to my messages. It helps to be able to send a message, as well as booking video appointments, to share how I am feeling and it is very reassuring to know that she is there. I didn’t really know what to expect when I first booked BetterHelp but I feel so grateful to have her as my counsellor and am definitely in a happier place than I was thanks to her.
