Maximilian Shafir

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker as well as a Clinical Supervisor. I have been extensively trained in Family Systems, Family Structural, and Eco-Systemic Family Therapy. In my work, I incorporate Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy and Gottman’s method for couples.

I provide counseling online and in the Keep Counsel office in Raleigh NC. In sessions, I help my clients create time to dedicate themselves to the things they most deeply want, need, and care about. Depression, anxiety, shame and anger are often the early warning signs that there are things that matter to you that you might have neglected, compromised or given up on. In sessions, I can help you learn to decode and use their messages to rebuild a life that feels more fulfilling and meaningful.

I sit on the Juvenile Crime Prevention Council, which works with approving and funding services and pilot programs in Wake County for at-risk youth involved with the Justice System.

I am also the Executive Chair of the Legislative Breakfast on Mental Health. This Non-Profit organization brings together Mental Health Executives, Insurance Leadership, Legislators, Congressmen, Senior level Executives with Department of Health and Human Services and Clients from across NC to speak about the most important mental health issues relevant to our citizens in an annual conference held in Chapel Hill.
