Meet Maxwell Sears, MA, LPC
​

Picture
Maxwell Sears is the 7th child of 12 children. He was born and raised in the Bahamas. At 18 years of age, he moved to New York to attend Hunter College, where he earned a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology. He later attended Liberty University in Virginia, where he completed his Master of Arts in Professional Counseling.

Mr. Sears holds a dual degree as a Professional Licensed Counselor.   
He opened CAYA Counseling services in 2015 on the principle that there is greatness in each of us, and that greatness is the gift of life from God.
Like most people, he has faced some difficult things in life, yet he has never allowed a problem to become an impossibility. Difficulty can change, but impossibility cannot be changed, no matter what you try or do, and the only impossibility in life is death itself. When a person takes faith out of life, all he or she will end up with is a LIE. So be faithful to the end. ​

Hope Without A Plan Is Failure: A Guide To Live Your Best Life Excerpt:

            Like everyone else, I have faced challenging times, but I stood headstrong in the face of adversity. I never fell for the charms of the world because it only leads to harm. I believe in the power of choice and how it drives our decisions, because choice limits excuses.
            When you have awareness, you are guided spiritually. The spiritual gifts God has given me give me the light that I need, and great understanding. Eighteen formative years in the Bahamas prepared me for something beyond life, a higher purpose that I was not aware of at that time.
            Maturity does not come with age, maturity comes with accepting responsibility. There are immature people out there in their forties and fifties who have never seen adversity as a responsibility. Adversity makes you a responsible human because responsibility has two key elements: choices and consequences. I call them the two C’s.
            In my early teens, I did not know what I was doing. Without a father figure in my life, I lacked the guidance that I needed. My difficulties were not impossibilities however, it gave me a firm foundation. With a solid foundation, no power in the universe can shatter your spirit.
            I grew to empathize with others, who disliked unfairness, poverty, and inequality. The emotional bondage that keeps us in pain. My love of self-awareness brought me through the biggest tragedy in my life.
            After spending 18 years on the island, I came from the Bahamas with a foundation that no one can shake. At first, I did not want to, but since I had no plans, my older brother, Alfred, convinced me to move to New York for higher studies. He helped me apply for college.
            I did not know what I should study, so for a while, I just went through the motions. I was only in the United States by chance. I got into college by chance. Sometimes, things happen by chance. You have the power within you to transform chances into opportunities.
            My brother Wellington was one of a kind. Wellington was mentally challenged because of being traumatized by our grandmother. He had a hard time choosing between our mother and our grandmother on various issues. Our grandmother’s cruelty towards our mother affected Wellington’s mental health.
            Whenever our grandmother became angry with him, she would send him back to our mother, which caused a break in his psyche. This is the reason that Wellington was diagnosed as schizophrenic and bipolar for a long while.
            Unfortunately, no one understood what was actually wrong with him because the medical community only saw his affect and not his infection of being neglected and emotionally abused.
            One day, as I was mending a pair of pants, Wellington was triggered and began to behave very rashly. A trigger is an unresolved child- hood trauma or experiences that we bring into our adult decisions. He grabbed the scissors that were sitting on the bed, and with all his might, without care of life or what it would have done to me, and he plunged it into my chest, missing my lung by two inches and my heart by one inch.
            Blood was everywhere, as I was rushed to the nearby clinic. The doctor was insensitive, like he did not care about my physical or emotional condition. He was insensitive to my agony, both physical and emotional.
            This doctor was one of my prime inspirations for becoming a doctor. I longed to heal others of their mental and physical agony. It was not just about the money.
            ​Unaware of my internal bleeding, the clinician stitched or sewed my wound and sent me home. Once I discovered the internal bleeding, I was rushed to a hospital. The doctors at the hospital said that if I had been stabbed an inch upward, the scissors would have punctured my lungs, leading to instant death.
