01
Experience across community and residential care
Max Karimbeik is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. He has worked with adults, children, and families affected by mental health concerns and addiction. Readers can compare this background with the site's pages on individual therapy and residential treatment.
Max worked at Watts Healthcare from 2015 to 2016. He then worked at three care sites in Malibu from 2017 to 2019. His work spans both community and residential care. People come to care with their own past, needs, and goals.
02
An integrative therapeutic perspective
Max has studied many forms of talk therapy. They include DBT, attachment-based care, cognitive therapy for substance use, depth psychology, and EMDR. The site separately explains cognitive behavioral therapy and family therapy.
No one method fits every person. Needs can also change with time. The team chooses an approach based on fit and an assessment. Max's broad training helps him consider behavior, close ties, meaning, and past events.
03
Program leadership and continued study
Max has led clinical work at six detox and residential centers. They include LifeSync Malibu, Rebos Detox, A Giving Tree, Hollywood Recovery Center, New Spirit Recovery, and Phase 2 ATC. He also founded LifeSync Malibu's residential addiction program. His leadership background gives context for the treatment setting and residential program pages.
He continues doctoral studies in Depth Psychology. He has worked as a therapist, program leader, and student. Each role can add a new view, while the person in front of the team stays at the heart of care.
A clear boundary
A biography introduces the person. It does not replace a conversation.
Roles, schedules, program fit, and who may participate in an individual's care should be confirmed directly. General educational information on this site is not a diagnosis, assessment, or personal treatment recommendation.
