Hello! My name is Max Croteau and I have had the pleasure of being a licensed professional counselor for almost 10 years now. In this time, I have been able to mold my style of understanding, accepting while also challenging and motivational into a successful model of growth and change for those who choose to work with me. I truly am a believer that therapy can sometimes be a side-by-side process, or it can be a process where one guides and the other follows, but ultimately the choice is up to you. I don’t want you to live a life that I tell you to live. I want to help you find a life that is truly a genuine fit for yourself and one that you can see yourself living without even having to think about it. I’ve specialized in addiction, OCD, trauma therapy, family and couples counseling and various other topics in the world of mental health. One important factor that I have found is that each person has their own individual story and their journey will be just as individualized. No matter how similar, we are all different. A cookie cutter approach to the rest of your life is not something that you will get from me. I will truly meet you where you are and work with you every step of the way to achieve the success that you are looking for. I always guarantee every person I work with that therapy may not be easy, but in the end, it will be incredibly worthwhile. I’d love to start and/or continue that journey. Growth has no final destination, just the journey. It’s up to you what path you’d like to take.

Hi there, I'm Terri. I am so proud of you! Welcome to starting your healing journey. You have made an important choice for yourself—starting the process of exploring what brings you distress and wanting relief. Together, we will have a private space to wonder out loud and make connections between your past, present and important relationships. If this is your first time in therapy, then this beginning may bring up a lot of questions and anxiety. You may have heard or read myths about counseling that are out there: “It means something is wrong with you,” or, “Just don’t think about (insert problem here) and you’ll be fine.” Know that nothing is ‘wrong with you’ and not addressing the problem usually only makes it bigger in the long run. We all benefit from having someone to share our feelings with and help us make sense of the stresses that we face. That’s why I’m here! Do you feel you need to have control of every aspect of your life? Are you always thinking about the future and ‘What’s next’ on your never-ending to-do list? Do you feel alone, isolated, or withdrawn? Have you noticed that you’re increasingly irritable, anxious, restless, and overwhelmed? No worries! We can address these concerns and more. I help people address uncomfortable topics to break generational cycles. I aim to assist those who struggle with saying ‘No’, and who often forget about their needs.
