Getting to know Jonathan (Max) Egan
I believe that under the right conditions, each individual has the capacity to grow and change. Therapy is a unique partnership shared between the therapist and client. In my experience as a therapist, the qualities of the therapeutic process that have been most helpful in supporting clients with growth and change are empathy, problem solving, and my ability to create supportive and nurturing therapeutic experiences for each person. I attune myself to clients' feelings, needs, and desires while using my own self-knowledge, training, and intuition. My work focuses on understanding my client's perspective to collaborate in developing an individualized therapeutic plan that will help unlock their potential and guide them to where they want to be.
I believe deeply in understanding what one communicates through their behaviors and the significance of exploring their origin and meaning. Above all else, I am caring, goal- and insight-oriented, as well as deeply focused and interested in what my clients are trying to achieve. I embrace working with diverse populations and have experience supporting clients through life transitions, school and career stressors, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, OCD, ADHD, and coping with chronic medical conditions. I work with adolescents, teens, and adults.
By combining mindfulness, cognitive behavioral therapy, and other evidence-based models, I strive to create a warm and productive therapeutic environment. This approach is instrumental in finding solutions and transforming problematic patterns for my clients. I hold a Master's in Social Work from the State University of New York, Stony Brook. Please reach out to me for a free phone or email consultation if you think I can be of help.

After working with past therapists that didn’t go so well, on the advice of a friend, I sought out a psychotherapist and found Jonathan Max Egan. He’s an empathetic, understanding and caring - whose focus is on the healing process from within. I highly recommend him.

I have seen numerous psychologists over the past 20 years and Max stands apart from the rest. As you would expect from a good therapist, he listens well, gives excellent advice, and genuinely cares about me. What I particularly like about him is that he doesn't have the overbearing ego I have witnessed in my former therapists. Max is a vulnerable human being with his faults which makes him grounded and easier to connect with. There is no "formula" within his approach to therapy, as each conversation builds me closer to my goals in a non-linear fashion. Ultimately, I have noticed significant improvements and positive momentum in my life in the time I have spent under his guidance. I strongly recommend him as an ally in mental health and life.

Max is very warm and makes me feel both grounded and lighter after a session. I came in a patient wary of starting therapy and a year later, I look forward to my weekly session.

I have been going to therapy with Jonathan once a week for almost a year. As someone who had contemplated going to therapy for years prior and dreaded going to the first appointment, he made me feel welcome from the start and has been patient and encouraging with me ever since. One paragraph could not possibly do the impact Jonathan has made on my life justice. From addressing my recovery through anorexia & bulimia to general anxiety and depression, I truly feel that I would be no where near the happiness that I feel today without him. I've become far more cognizant of my feelings in situations and have a deeper understanding of who I am and how I approach problems. I can say with no doubt that implementing the many strategies and thought processes we've discussed in therapy have helped me every day. I am so excited to see how far I've come in the last year and what the future holds! Last but not least, Jonathan is always professional and on time. He has been very accommodating in rescheduling appointments when I had conflicts and his respect for my time is something I am also very grateful for.

Going to therapy with Jonathan Egan, for more than a year, can’t quite explain how much he has able to help me navigate to a lot situations related with my mental health, always professional on time and looking up for his patients, has prove me that their is professionals out there trying their best and doing their best for us to keep us healthy in every sense possible.
Very approachable and always trying to understand why are you there and how you can make things better for yourself, my experience with therapy wasn’t the best, since I start seeing Jonathan things clearly have gone much better for me.

Most talk therapists have a "look at yourself in the mirror" approach to interacting with patients. The thing that I personally loved about Max (Jonathan Egan) is that he asked difficult questions to help me find the answers within myself sooner. He has mindfulness, is calm, and uses a very direct approach of questions versus analysis, rather than just question after question and scribbling in a notebook while you squirm in your chair. I was so impressed with Max's approach that I asked for even more sessions than anticipated, because he allows me to face difficult situations with more hope and positivity...more self reflection and clarity. Thank you Max for being different!
