ABOUT

Shira Max About Me

Welcome! With over 15 years of experience as a Licensed Clinical Psychologist, I’ve dedicated my career to serving military personnel and their families. As a military psychologist, my primary goal is to ensure the mental well-being of service members, empowering them to perform their duties safely. I also have the privilege of training fellow psychologists in this specialized field.

In my role on leadership teams, including as co-chair of our departmental staff wellness program serving approximately 300 employees, I’ve led initiatives prioritizing staff well-being and cultivating a supportive environment for essential healthcare workers.

My expertise lies in innovating healthcare systems, integrating mental health services into routine medical visits, and advancing virtual behavioral health (VBH). I’m passionate about leveraging VBH, particularly through virtual group therapy, to broaden access to evidence-based care and improve patient outcomes. Through Lean Six Sigma methodologies and collaboration among multidisciplinary teams, I’ve optimized processes to enhance patient care and staff satisfaction.

I’m committed to advancing VBH and fostering a healthy workplace culture through continuous improvement, ethical innovation, and a focus on organizational health and employee well-being.

SERVICES

Your organization thrives when employees are dedicated, reliable, and collaborate effectively to achieve business goals. But the prevalence of mental health issues, impacting 1 in 5 adults, can hinder their work performance. We recognize the significance of overcoming these challenges to empower your team’s success and provide a range of specialized consulting services tailored to address the evolving needs of modern organizations.

Organizational Culture and
Well-being Programs

Organizations are increasingly prioritizing culture to support autonomy, flexibility, and work-life boundaries. But balancing this with daily business operations can be challenging. We specialize in implementing tailored well-being programs, fostering virtual support networks, and developing policies that prioritize employee autonomy and flexibility.

Leadership Development and Succession Planning

Modern organizations recognize the need for leadership programs that reflect the values and purpose-driven mindset of the next generation. But many executives are challenged to transition from traditional leadership styles that may be less effective in today’s dynamic environment. We offer consultation to identify and nurture emerging leaders, offering targeted training focused on essential leadership skills, ethical decision-making, critical thinking, and fostering a culture of mentorship and continuous growth.

Virtual Behavioral Health Training and Team Support

As healthcare services transition to virtual work arrangements and meet the increasing demand for virtual healthcare, maintaining a sense of connection among staff and patients is essential. Our expertise in virtual behavioral health and group therapy is tailored to address this need. We provide resources for mental health and well-being in virtual settings, along with facilitating team-building activities and communication strategies for remote teams, ensuring cohesive support in virtual environments.
