I help high performers, founders move what thinking can't. Brainspotting, EFT, with space for faith and spirituality.
I'm Dr. Mark Maxwell, LMFT, founder of Pacifica Group Counseling & Wellness, with offices in San Francisco, San Diego and Sacramento. I also founded Conexa, a 501(c)3 nonprofit. My work is grounded in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), an attachment-based approach that helps individuals and couples understand the emotional patterns keeping them stuck and build more secure connection. I trained in EFT under Dr. Lisa Palmer-Olsen and in Brainspotting with founder, Dr. David Grand and Lisa Larson Brainspotting is a body-based method for processing trauma and stuck experiences that talking alone often can't reach. KAP can open a window where long-guarded emotions become more accessible, and EFT and Brainspotting give us a way to work with what surfaces and turn it into lasting change. I see individuals and couples in weekly sessions or longer intensive formats. I also bring deep experience in spirituality work.
