Renee Maksoud,



In My Practice


I work with people who want to understand the patterns shaping their relationships, identity, sexuality, and sense of self.

My approach is relational, trauma-informed, and grounded in the body. I draw from attachment theory, IFS-informed parts work, sensorimotor therapy, mindfulness, and collaborative conversation to help clients notice what feels stuck, protective, or unresolved.

Therapy with me is not about forcing change or pathologizing your experience. It is a space to build more clarity, capacity, honesty, and connection - with yourself and with the people who matter to you.


Sex & Intimacy
Therapy

Sex and intimacy can bring up some of the most vulnerable parts of being human: desire, shame, pleasure, grief, power, trauma, identity, and longing.

As a member of the American Association of Sex Educators, Counselors, and Therapists (AASECT), I provide a safe and supportive space for exploring and addressing challenges related to sexual health, intimacy, and relationship dynamics.

I offer a sex-positive, kink-aware, queer-affirming, and gender-affirming space to explore your relationship to sexuality and intimacy — including the places where desire, boundaries, identity, past experiences, and relationship dynamics intersect.

This work is not about prescribing what your sexuality, gender, or relationships “should” look like. It is a space to better understand your desires, limits, fears, patterns, and needs - and to move toward more honest, embodied, and connected intimacy.

Psychedelic Integration
Therapy

Psychedelic experiences can be meaningful, confusing, destabilizing, clarifying, or difficult to put into words. Preparation and integration therapy can help you approach these experiences with greater intention, support, and care - to better make sense of what emerges afterward.

In private practice, I offer psychedelic preparation and integration support. I do not provide, prescribe, or administer psychedelic medicines.

Alongside my private practice, I am a member of the UCSF Translational Psychedelic Research Program, where I serve on the facilitation team supporting preparation, dosing, and integration in clinical research. This experience informs my grounded, trauma-informed approach to helping clients reflect on psychedelic experiences and integrate insights into their relationships, bodies, values, and daily lives.
