Getting to know Dr. Maximillian Macias
After six years of training, I have recently graduated from the PAU-Stanford Consortium. My experiences include general mental health training for common problems like anxiety, depression, and chronic pain, with more specific experiences in child and adolescent mental health, pediatric behavioral health, parenting issues, and LGBTQ+ psychology. I currently provide services to children and adolescents, parents, and adults.
What should a new client know about working with you?
I am passionate about increasing access to care and providing affirming and culturally responsive treatment for all of my clients. I use a combination of dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) to support my clients with a focus on the present moment and increasing coping skills.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
You can expect the opportunity to get to know me as a provider. I will complete an intake including mental health history, a discussion of the current presenting problem, and a discussion about your goals for treatment. I will provide my diagnostic impressions and my clinical recommendations, and with your input, we will develop your treatment plan.
