Discover Deep Transformational Life Coaching in Scottsdale, AZ
Living the human experience is a beautiful, complex journey. It's filled with peaks and valleys of pleasure and pain, both physical and emotional. It seems so simple when we're children, but things change as we grow: we begin to form our own opinions, develop romantic relationships, build a career, and work our way through life. With age comes maturity and personal development, but all too often, we grow older without learning how to manage and accept our emotions, thoughts, and relationships. This causes us to get stuck, and for some, they then stay stuck - trapped in a vicious cycle of self-doubt, judgement and negativity.
Sound familiar? If so, ask yourself if you are suffering from any of the following:
- Unresolved childhood trauma
- Grief, loss, and betrayals in life that you can't get past
- Harmful patterns that keep you stuck in a rut, with no hope of moving forward
- Anxiety about your personal or work life
- Anger, insecurity, and stress that gets the best of you
- Codependency and people pleasing-problems that leave you emotionally bankrupt
- Family or romantic relationship issues that you can't handle or resolve
- Negative thoughts and self-criticizing problems equating to "I'm not good enough" and "I can't succeed."
- Overthinking and racing thoughts that distract you during the day and keep you up at night
- Lack of motivation or purpose in your life
- Low self-worth, self-love, and lack of personal development
If you're struggling because you aren't sure what to do next or how to change your life for the better, know that you aren't alone. Millions of people just like you aren't where they want to be in life. Fortunately, your personal growth life coach in Scottsdale, AZ, is here to help you reimagine, refocus, and rebuild your life for the better.

We All Suffer at Times. Now, Lets Do Something About It
If you're reading this page, chances are you're not exactly happy with how your life is going. And that's okay. You're in a safe place.
Finding the right person to speak with about the personal growth issues in your life is challenging. Some life coaches in Scottsdale only see you as a transaction - a means to make money and provide unhelpful, mediocre services. Christy Maxey is the anthesis of uneducated, fly-by-night life coaches. She has worked with thousands of people just like you and has built a reputation of helping people as their life coach in Scottsdale and throughout Arizona, as well as with clients all over the world.
As a former therapist, Christy uses an effective system of evidenced-based concepts, tools, and exercises like trauma-informed coaching, inner child healing and EMDR to uncover true self-worth. Christy's signature system, the Maxx Method, helps develop emotional intelligence and provides life-long skills that will help guide you in relationships with yourself and others.
Remember: you are not broken YOU ARE NOT BROKEN. There is nothing wrong with you. And, it doesn't have to take years of therapy to get the results you are hoping for


The Maxx Method Difference
Many people use go to therapy but see few results. They've tried reading books, listening to podcasts, and maybe even hired a life coach. But at the end of the day, they're still struggling with root issues that cause stress, anxiety, and feelings of helplessness.
Christy Maxey has developed The Maxx Method, an evidenced-based path to Personal Development, Healing and Emotional Intelligence. When you work with Christy Maxey as your life coach, you will spend your time together getting to the root cause of your problems. You'll answer questions like:
- How are you holding yourself back?
- What limiting beliefs do you have?
- What are you resisting?
- How are self-doubt and judgment keeping you stuck?
- How is your past STILL affecting you now?
- Where is your anxiety coming from?
Often, we don't know the answers to these questions without help. Unfortunately, many therapists and life coaches in Scottsdale, AZ lack focus. They encourage you to talk about your day, week, and month. They get a general sense of what is bothering you, but before any real work is done, your therapy session is over. In the end, you see few results and you're left reeling with more anxiety and stress than before.
Clients choose Christy Maxey as their personal development life coach because she gets right to the issues without wasting your time. She pulls on her vast experience to heal men and women of all ages, using traditional techniques from psychology and psychotherapy combined with results-oriented coaching. Christy always emphasizes honesty, compassion, and accountability, so you get real benefits and real efficiency with her coaching.
If you're ready to be re-introduced to your authentic self, your journey starts here.
Men's Personal Development Growth Coaching in Scottsdale, AZ
Men in today's society often fight against strong feelings of stress, anger, and self-defeating patterns that keep them stuck in a rut. Unfortunately, many men are socialized to ignore their feelings and inner experiences. As a men's therapist and life coach for more than 20 years, Christy Maxey has the techniques and experience to break down the barriers keeping men from living the life they want.
Men deserve compassion, but they also deserve high expectations and positive confrontation when necessary. Unlike some life coaches in Scottsdale, Christy's approach doesn't allow men to hide behind insecurity and grandiosity. Male clients choose Christy because she pushes them to live to their true potential without wasting time.

Coaching Men with Relationship Issues
Relationships don't always come easily and we are not taught how to have healthy, secure relationships. Challenges can be hard to overcome without help. If any of the following problems sound familiar, life coaching with Christy Maxey could be the solution:
- Difficult Relating to Partner
- Repeating Negative Patterns in Relationships
- Feelings of Loneliness
- Feeling Misunderstood

Coaching Men with Stress
Stress is the leading root cause of disease. Although men are taught to "just deal with it," that's not the best answer. With Christy Maxey as your life coach, you can address issues with:
- No Appreciation for Hard Work
- Pleasing Everyone Except Yourself
- Exhaustion without Physical Activity
- Feelings of Unhappiness and Lack of Motivation

Coaching Men with Anger
It's no wonder that men suffer from aggression and anger when we tell them to turn off their emotions. Life coaching can help you overcome:
- Aggressive Behavior
- Outbursts of Anger
- Career Issues
- Relationship Issues
- Verbal Aggression and Abuse
If you're a man open to working through your problems to better yourself, there's good news. Christy Maxey's proven, efficient life coaching system can help you be the father, husband, friend, and self that you truly want to be. With the right tools and guidance, you can live life with less anger and stress. And with the right tools, you can focus on finding your voice without resorting to aggression.
Women's Personal Development Growth Coaching in Scottsdale, AZ
Women are beautiful, unique individuals. But many seem to suffer from the same universal theme - an inner critic that hinders true growth and sabotages them from a fulfilling, happy life.
As a therapist, Christy Maxey spent much of her time working directly with women just like you. Christy combines an incredible depth of knowledge and guidance with life coaching energy, uncovering your true potential as a woman, free of dysfunction.
Unfortunately, no matter what women do as mothers and employees, many believe that they're never good enough. They feel like they're not worthy, not lovable, and not strong.
If you feel like you're unworthy of success and happiness, it's time for a change. It's time to look in the mirror and take care of yourself, not someone else.
If you're ready to reclaim the life you deserve, your journey to success starts with women's life coaching in Scottsdale. Here are just a few areas that Christy Maxey helps women break free of the chains that keep them down:


Coaching Women Suffering from Pleasing & Codependency
Many women today do everything for everybody else but don't take time to heal or explore personal development. Personal development growth coaching from Christy Maxey can help you address these common issues:
- Self-Medicating to Cover Up Feelings of Inadequacy
- Feeling like You've Lost Yourself
- People Taking Advantage of Your Kindness
- Over-Providing for Others

Coaching Women with Unpleasant Emotions
Many women are unsure of how to untangle the mess of emotions they go through. Life coaching in Scottsdale can help you manage your emotions and find the clarity and love you need in your life. Does this sound like you?
- Feelings of Shame and Guilt
- Issues with Your Career or Job
- Unhappiness with Others' Behaviors
- Bouts of Sobbing That Lead to Anxiety and Depression

Coaching Women with Self-Confidence Issues
Though every life is valuable, society triggers many women to de-value themselves as they grow older. One of the core components of Christy's life coaching is to help women value who they are. Self-confidence can help by:
- Highlighting Positive Attributes Over Shortcomings
- Finding Solutions to Confidence Issues
- Teaching You How to Love Yourself, Flaws and All
- Giving You the Tools to Assert Yourself Without Guilt
If you're a woman and you're ready for change, we've got great news. Women's coaching with Christy is all about change and focus. It's active and experiential coaching that will keep you engaged and accountable to yourself. The result? A life bursting with happiness, fulfillment, and joy.
EMDR Coaching in Scottsdale, AZ
EMDR, or Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing, is a powerful technique used to heal people from distressing and disturbing life experiences. EMDR Coaching with Christy Maxey allows the mind to heal from psychological trauma much quicker than traditional therapy methods.
When we go through traumatic experiences, we often associate those events with negative beliefs and emotions like feelings of shame, anger, and inadequacy. EMDR helps the mind reprocess the life-changing event, allowing the client to heal and live a life they love.
Is EMDR Right for You?
Many people are reluctant to try EMDR because of poor results from previous attempts. Christy Maxey's EMDR Coaching includes guided visualization and inner child healing for a more robust approach. This tactic is part of Christy's Maxx Method - a life-changing framework for personal development.
What is the Maxx Method?
You may have received help from a therapist or life coach in Scottsdale, AZ, in the past, only to fall back into bad habits and self-destruction. If that sounds like you, chances are you never addressed the underlying cause of your problems. You cut the weed but never removed the root.
The Maxx Method is a six-part holistic system of evidenced-based tools, exercises, and concepts, developed to help you achieve maximized personal development.
EMDR and the Maxx Method are not only used for extreme traumas. They can be very helpful for common memories and events that foster feelings of low self-esteem and powerlessness, too. These methods were developed to help manage unpleasant emotions, show you how to find deep love, and heal old wounds that keep you stuck.
EMDR and the Maxx Method could be right for you if you have experienced:
- Social Anxiety
- Loss, Betrayal, and Grief
- Negative Core Beliefs
- Hurt, Anger, and Sadness
- Overthinking
- Low Self-Esteem
- Lack of Confidence

Break Out of Your Comfort Zone and Be Proud of Your True Self
The world is changing. People are finally learning how to manage their own human experiences. But we can't do it alone. Christy Maxey is here to guide you on the path to a positive, guilt-free life. If you're ready to look inward, find peace, and develop the skills to love your true self, you're in the right place. After all, you've been suffering long enough.
When you work with Christy, you'll be on a fast track to the truth - no beating around the bush or wasting time. Christy's methods are gentle but firm, compassionate yet driven. You will learn, you will transform, and you will be happy because it's you who did the work. It's time to face your fears head-on, so you can't play the victim card anymore. You're capable of great relationships, healthy self-confidence, and of doing something with your life. If you're sick and tired of being stuck, this is your chance to get out of that rut.

Doan will make his professional debut with the Arizona Coyotes' AHL affiliate, the Tucson Roadrunners, on Friday after signing a three-year entry-level contract on Thursday. The 21-year-old was drafted 37th overall by the Coyotes in the 2021 NHL Draft, and will suit up at the Tucson Convention Center Arena against the Calgary Wranglers tonight.
Doan made the tough decision to leave the Sun Devils hockey program after having an hours-long conversation with his dad, Coyotes legend and current Chief Hockey Development Officer Shane Doan.
"It was hard because of how much I love ASU, the coaching staff, and the players there," Josh said. "Tuesday night my dad and I talked for about two hours, just the two of us, and it was something that we came to the conclusion that it was best for me, and I think that was the right decision."
Josh excelled during his time with Sun Devil hockey, and served as captain of the team this past season. He posted 16 goals and 22 assists in 39 games this season -- setting personal bests in both goals and points -- just one year removed from establishing school records for most points and most assists by a freshman.

Prior to that he was a standout player for the USHL's Chicago Steel, notching 70 points in 53 games during the 2020-21 season.
It was that season that piqued Coyotes general manager Bill Armstrong's interest, and from that point on he was "always intrigued by his game."
"The one thing that always caught my attention about him is he makes people better around him," Armstrong said. "He's got a great hockey sense. He can make plays. He breathes that hockey sense. He's got a high hockey IQ."
In just two seasons Josh etched his place in Arizona State hockey lore, and he even scored the first-ever goal at Mullett Arena, which serves as both the Sun Devils' home rink and the Coyotes' temporary home rink.
Shane was there to witness all of it, as he has been since the very beginning. As a father, he's always tried to help steer Josh in the right direction, but at the end of the day he was there to support whatever decision was made.
"I was so impressed with his thought process," Shane said. "This is his decision, and I told him once you make your decision, go with it, don't look back, and enjoy it.
"He was confident and excited to sign, move on, and try his hand at playing pro."
That confidence, though, didn't make it any easier to tell his coach of two years, Greg Powers. Josh said that was "one of the hardest conversations that I've had," but also said Powers not only supported his decision, he was excited to see him move onto the next phase of his hockey career.
"Having the support I had this year with them, and the other captains was huge," Josh said. "It was an honor to represent ASU and to be a part of that this year. It's something that I won't forget."
Now, the former Sun Devils' captain will develop in the Coyotes' organization, a franchise that he has been a part of since the day he was born.
"I've been repping this logo since I was zero," Josh said. "It feels pretty normal at this point. It's super exciting to be officially a part of it. As much as the draft is joining the team, this takes it to the next level to where you're actually a part of the team, and get to use the resources they have to help you grow."
Josh will join a Roadrunners team that already has some familiar faces for him. For one, he played with current Tucson forward Colin Theisen in the 2021-22 season, and said the former Sun Devils captain helped him through his freshman year of college.
Theisen has spent time with both the Roadrunners and the ECHL's Atlanta Gladiators this season, and also participated in the Coyotes' Rookie Faceoff Tournament this past September in San Jose.
In addition, current Roadrunners head coach Steve Potvin was a skills coach during Josh's days with the Phoenix Jr. Coyotes 14U AAA program.
"Any time you can take one of your players and put them in the American League right away, get him going, it really benefits the player," Armstrong said. "This is going to be a huge growth step for him, and I believe it's going to pay dividends in the end."
Of course, no support structure is greater than Shane, the Coyotes' former captain who recorded 402 and 570 assists in 1,540 games played - all of which came with the same organization.
"As a dad, it's pretty special," Shane said. "It's something that we never really think is going to happen, but I'm so proud and excited for him.
"He's just an incredible young man, and it's hard to put it into words."
The professional journey starts tonight with the Roadrunners, who have 18 games left in their regular season schedule. He'll always be associated with his father, and understandably so considering his hockey roots in the state, but that association will never overshadow the person, and player, he is.
There's no pressure - only support - and that will never change.
"He's taken away all the pressure by just being dad, and just accepting the fact that if I want to play hockey it's because I want to have fun and play it," Josh said. "It's not forced on to me, and that takes away a lot of the pressure so I can just be myself and enjoy the game."
