Jim Maxwell, LMFT, LMHC

I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and Licensed Mental Health Counselor with over 25 years of experience helping individuals, couples, and families achieve emotional, relational, and spiritual wellness. I offer a collaborative, non-judgmental space where clients can pursue healing, personal growth, and lasting change.

My specialties include couples therapy, premarital counseling, and trauma recovery. I help couples navigate infidelity, break unhealthy cycles, and build strong communication foundations. As a combat veteran, I also bring a deep understanding of trauma, grief, and loss. I’m trained in EMDR and the Flash technique to help clients reprocess difficult experiences and reclaim their lives.

Currently pursuing a PhD in Marriage and Family Therapy, I’m also a Clinical Fellow of the AAMFT and a member of the American Association of Christian Counselors.

In my free time, I enjoy hiking, photography, learning, and cracking dad jokes with my adult sons.
