Hi, I’m Dr. Maxine Crossman.

Welcome to my practice! I’m so happy you’re here. I’m a clinical psychologist, licensed in both Florida and New York. I specialize in cognitive-behavioral therapy for children, adolescents, and adults.

I completed my bachelor’s degree in psychology at the University of Maryland, College Park. Following this, I completed my master’s and doctoral degree in clinical psychology at La Salle University and my clinical internship at Lehigh University Counseling and Psychological Services.

In addition to private practice, I have received extensive training in a range of other settings, including community mental health centers, college counseling centers, schools, and residential treatment centers.

My areas of expertise include but are not limited to anxiety, depression, trauma, and behavior change.


My Therapeutic Approach

I am a cognitive-behavioral psychologist and my therapeutic work is grounded in cognitive-behavioral theory. Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on developing a deeper understanding of our thoughts, emotions, and behaviors in order to develop insight and guide change. CBT is a highly effective, evidence-based, solutions-focused therapeutic approach.

My therapeutic style is warm open, and collaborative. I strive to create a strong and supportive therapeutic relationship that promotes positive growth and enduring change.

I approach therapy as an opportunity to empower others to meet their goals, develop their strengths, align with their values, and live their lives in a fulfilling and meaningful way.
