Working with Juliane Maxwald has been revealing, challenging, and deeply rewarding. I have found her exceptionally good at creating a space to identify and talk about my anxieties, blind spots, and behavioral patterns. This opportunity for self-knowledge would be helpful in itself, but Juliane brings so much more. She provides useful insight into what underlies my thinking, behavior, and emotional experience. She has helped me identify my strengths (even the ones that look like weaknesses). She is willing to push back when my thinking becomes too rigid. And when the time is right she points a way forward—sometimes directly, and sometimes with a subtlety that I find very effective. I've worked with other therapists in the past, and I have achieved some self-awareness in my sessions with them. But with Juliane I have found a way to carry that self-awareness out into my everyday life, where it really counts.

Juliane has been very helpful as I navigate significant changes in my career. I've really appreciated her insightful and thoughtful perspective, which helped me to see new angles to both my behaviors and those around me, leading to a better strategy for success. Her empathetic and attentive approach creates an open environment for personal exploration.

My husband and I connected with Juliane's calming and insightful counseling style immediately. We started working with Juliane when we were experiencing rapid growing pains, and I felt tremendously at ease knowing that she was supporting us through difficult transitions. I looked forward to our weekly sessions when I would try--unsuccessfully--to describe (what I thought was) the problem, and Juliane was in turn able to succinctly identify and articulate concrete issues without hesitation. She not only helped me to take a step back to address these issues but also was able to highlight beautiful and rare aspects of my relationship with my husband that were being overshadowed. I am continuously impressed by Juliane's skills, and I urge everyone who has the opportunity to work with her.

Juliane has helped us work through and improve persistent challenges within our relationship, as well as issues we both brought into it; she's helped us move forward in a way I'm not sure we would have otherwise. She is quick to understand and articulate dynamics between us and identify productive ways to address them

Juliane has been a main part of my mental health regimen over the past few years. She does a fantastic job at partnering with you to work through day to day challenges and guides you to better understand the bigger picture. She works with you to better understand your values, and then helps as a guide to better understand what changes are needed to live a life more aligned with those values. On a more personal note, she’s incredibly kind and thoughtful. I’m so grateful to have found her, as I feel more true to myself than I ever have. I have been working with her for years, and plan to continue into the future.

I first started working with Juliane during an extremely difficult time of my life – I was caring for a sick parent, my career was in flux – and have continued to connect with her as difficult times arise. I have found that Juliane has a way of listening in which I feel she truly understands me - my perspective, who I am - and because of that is able to offer advice that feels specific and authentic to me and my personality and lifestyle. Almost every time I speak to her, I leave our sessions with a fresh perspective on a situation that allows me to no longer feel burdened or upset. Juliane has really helped me to go through not only the healing process, but then move past that into a mentality of thriving. When I look back to where I was emotionally and mentally when I started working with Juliane to where I am now, I am absolutely amazed. I really cannot believe how much my approach to situations, relationships and myself has changed due to her guidance. Those around me have noticed how much healthier and happier I am as well. I am so grateful for her support and direction.em

Juliane has been instrumental in helping my husband and I greatly improve our marriage. She has challenged us to understand what we each bring into our conversations, and to keep that present in our minds in times of conflict. We have learned to be more accepting of each other by better understanding what is behind the others' actions and words. Juliane is extremely thoughtful and talented at interjecting with the perfect questions at the right moment to get us to completely think about a situation differently. We have become more patient and compassionate with each other after 2 years of sessions with Juliane. After 12 years together, my husband and I have never felt stronger than we do now.

Working with Juliane has been transformational – she does an incredible job of creating an environment that centers around trust and comfort, while also challenging me to open up and dig into issues that I have been unable to deal with on my own. Improvements in my mental health, marriage and career can all be directly attributed to lessons and experiences I have gained through several years’ worth of sessions with her. She is able to provide guidance and insight across such a wide range of issues, including addiction, childhood trauma, family dynamics and career management, all of which have been invaluable for me. Therapy and coaching doesn’t always seem fun, but Juliane makes it feel like a warm, ongoing conversation which has really changed my life – my wife and I are forever grateful for what she has done for us.

When I tell a close friend I am doing couples therapy, I add it’s sex therapy as well, because let’s be honest, we are in this game of life with our whole selves, with our own less than perfect bodies. Juliane has a wonderful ability to be on both of our sides. As much as I feel I want her to tell him he’s wrong, she gently and skillfully rephrases my hurt and asks my husband how he understands what I am trying to say. We tried three other therapists – granted at a different stage in our marriage and maybe we were more ready at this time - but none of them could help us at the level Juliane has. We are so very grateful to her.

Working with Juliane has been tremendously helpful to me in clarifying what I truly want out of life, and how to set myself up for success. Over several years of working together, she has enabled me to recognize negative behavioral patterns that have caused me to get in my own way, and provides practical, actionable advice when a new roadblock emerges and causes me to stumble. Juliane is professional, kind, and clearly truly cares about the well-being and long term success of her clients. I highly recommend her to anyone in need of coaching, guidance, and assistance with navigating life’s inevitable challenges.
