Getting to know Maxine Nusinow

Maxine Nusinow, LMFT, helps teens, adults, and seniors across Illinois build stability, insight, and meaningful change through compassionate, evidence-based therapy at LifeStance Health. She provides individual therapy, couples therapy, and family therapy for those navigating anxiety, depression, and ADHD, as well as complex relationship concerns. Serving patients throughout IL, Maxine creates a steady, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore patterns, strengthen coping skills, and move toward lasting emotional wellness. Maxine is especially passionate about supporting individuals recently discharged from a psychiatric hospital and those participating in court-ordered treatment. She understands how vulnerable and overwhelming these transitions can feel, and she approaches this work with structure, clarity, and deep respect for each person’s dignity. Her goal is to help clients rebuild confidence, reduce risk of relapse, and establish practical strategies for long-term stability. By blending accountability with empathy, she empowers clients to regain a sense of control and direction during pivotal moments in their lives. Her clinical focus includes anxiety, depression, and couple’s issues, while also offering support for concerns related to behavioral addictions, sexuality challenges, and life transitions. Maxine utilizes Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), along with additional therapeutic approaches tailored to each individual or family. She works with teens (15–17), young adults, adults, and older adults, and has experience supporting LGBTQ+ individuals and first responders. Additional specialties and treatment areas are available to meet diverse mental health needs. Maxine began practicing in 2021 and brings a thoughtful, relational lens to her work as a Marriage & Family Therapist.
