Accepting Clients

Hi, I’m Maxfield and I practice trauma-informed somatic therapy.

Associate Marriage & Family Therapist in Portland, OR
Supervised by David Marks LMFT

About My Clients

I believe that life’s struggles, as difficult as they may be, are what shape personal and collective healing, growth, and transformation. I view our time together in therapy as an opportunity to walk alongside you on your journey, to celebrate you in your complexity, and to nurture your body’s inner wisdom. Whatever brings you in for therapy, I am honored to meet you there.

My Background and Approach

My practice is rooted in experiential modalities that encourage awareness of the mind-body experience. Sessions with me are unique in that we will explore mindfulness states together, through sensing into the body, experimenting with movement and self-expression, and processing the emotions, beliefs, and stories that emerge. My approach is slow and gentle, grounded in the belief that lasting healing and transformation come from within you. I am trained in Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, a somatic therapy modality that utilizes body-centered approaches and attachment theory to restore the nervous system for the treatment of trauma, early developmental and attachment distress, and related symptoms. I specialize in working with clients experiencing PTSD, complex trauma, anxiety, dissociation, addiction, and those in the LGBTQ+ community or non-monogamous/polyamorous relationships. I work with individuals, those in relationships, and families.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

As a cisgender gay man, I have lived experience within queer community and am committed to practicing from an intersectional, anti-oppressive, trauma-informed lens. I strive to hold an inclusive and affirming space that honors the experiences of all marginalized identities. Whatever your background may be, I invite you to bring your authentic self into the room. In my free time, you can find me out in my garden, playing fiddle, and birdwatching. I am an avid plant person, and am often out in the woods foraging to make magic potions or tasty bites. I listen to a lot of music, and have been known to switch from 90’s country to techno in the same car ride.
