Getting to know Maxine Bahns
Welcome, I am a PsyD, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist focusing on clients with depression, anxiety, self-esteem, parenting, divorce, trauma, substance abuse, and Survivors of childhood sexual abuse. I work with individuals, adults, and young adults. I have extensive experience working in non-profit organizations with culturally diverse populations, working with individuals, adolescents, and young adults from a natural, strength-based, and client-centered approach. My clinical experiences include West Valley Counseling in Tarzana, CA practicing depth psychology, active imagination, mindfulness, and psychodynamic therapy. I spent 3 years at For the Future and Guiding Our Youth, a short-term residential treatment program working with at-risk adolescents ages 13-17 who have experienced loss, neglect, abuse, subsequent substance abuse, PTSD, and trauma. Before becoming a therapist, I worked for over 20 years as an actor in the entertainment industry and can personally understand what contributes to depression, anxiety, and a compromised sense of self.

More information on payments and coverage
Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits
