Max Malitzky, PsyD

Psychoanalytic Therapist for LGBTQ+ Adults & Couples · Expats · Exploring Sexuality, Identity & Intimacy

I’m Dr. Max Malitzky, a licensed clinical psychologist and psychoanalyst based in New York City — and working online. I specialize in creating a warm, thoughtful space for adults and couples who feel caught in transitions: moving abroad, redefining identity, navigating non-monogamy or changing sexual/family dynamics.

If you’re noticing patterns that keep repeating in your relationships, or you’re asking “Who am I now?” after a major shift, you’re not alone. Therapy offers more than insight — it’s an invitation to live differently. Together we’ll explore beneath the surface to uncover how past dynamics influence your present, and build ways of relating and being that feel truer, freer, and more alive.

My approach is psychoanalytic, relational, and collaborative. That means we’ll focus on the thoughts and feelings emerging in our sessions, the stories you tell yourself, and the ways you connect with others — all with curiosity and respect. I offer both in-person sessions in New York and online for clients around the world. I invite you to reach out for a free 15-minute consultation to explore if we might be a fit.
