Juliane Maxwald, LP

I’m a psychoanalyst, couples therapist, and certified sex therapist. For over two decades, I’ve helped individuals and couples navigate challenges like low desire, infidelity, anxiety, burnout, and compulsive behaviors while exploring the deeper forces that shape how we love, work, and connect.

My approach blends insight with practical change. I address the immediate issue with clarity and compassion while also exploring the underlying meanings behind symptoms — the parts of ourselves that may have been silenced, split off, or shamed. 
I serve on faculty at the New York Graduate School of Psychoanalysis and the Institute for Contemporary Psychoanalysis, where I teach and supervise clinicians nationwide.

I’m also the author of two forthcoming books: Psychoanalytic Sex Therapy and Talking About Sex.

My priority is helping people heal what hurts, connect more deeply, and live with greater freedom, intimacy, and presence.
