Maxwell Valerie PHD - Manhattan Beach, California

Julie Grekov

I’ve been working with Dr. Maxwell for just over a month, but I already feel as comfortable with her as if we’d known each other for years. Valerie has a compassionate, non-judgmental approach that makes it easy to open up. She’s very knowledgeable and highly skilled at listening and providing insights that are both gentle and profound, helping me to see things from new perspectives and equipping me with effective tools for managing challenges. Valerie has fostered a safe and supportive space where I feel truly heard and understood. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking guidance, personal growth, or support through difficult times.

Dr. Maxwell has played a big role in helping identify my kid's needs so we can find the right tools to help the kid. Dr. Maxwell's family therapy session was also very helpful in brining our family closer to each other. I really appreciated Dr. Maxwell's help and advice. I highly recommend Dr. Maxwell without reservation for parents who are looking for ways to help identify their children's issues and needs.

Dr. Maxwell is the most gifted therapist I've ever worked with. She has a wide range of psychotherapy skills and is able to hone in on underlying issues. I'm very happy that I was able to cross paths with her, and would highly recommend her to anyone seeking professional help.

Do not see Valerie Maxwell. She breaks guidelines, shares what is discussed in sessions with family, gives awful advice, is too easy to give medication, and is plain rude. She has an awful network of scammers just like herself. Save yourself and no not see her.

Edited: Yes I did use a fake name, because I am scared of Valerie. She lies to your face, shares what you discuss in sessions, suggests medication for conditions you do not have without sharing the awful side effects... she truly ruined my life by seeing her and taking her advice. After seeing a good therapist, I realized how awful Valerie is so wanted to come on here to leave a review to help anyone considering.

Dr. Valerie Maxwell is a rock star therapist. When I refer friends and colleagues to her, I tell them she is the most skilled and intuitive therapist you will ever meet. Her insightfulness about the root cause of my unraveling marriage saved me years of sorrow. She gave me the confidence and support to get on with my life much more quickly than if I had consulted a less experienced therapist. Thank you Dr. Maxwell!

I’ve worked with doctor Maxwell for just short of 10 years. She helped me from such a young age to navigate my ADHD and in many other ways. Her work with her patients feels so much more personal than anyone else I have worked with before. I highly recommend her services!

Dr. Maxwell has been a Godsend for my family. Both of my kids experience some form of anxiety, which Dr. Maxwell has helped them to manage and they continue to thrive. She has worked with my kids as needed for years and has been a reliable and valuable resource. She genuinely cares!
