"Are you looking to make a change, but don't know where to start? Maybe you have tried everything you can think of, but haven't experienced relief.

"Welcome. Life is a gift. Everyone is special in their own way. I assist individuals by helping them to realize what their positive attributes and potential abilities are within and assist obtaining their goals in life. I believe that It's not the lessons we are given in life that count. It's the way that we handle these challenges that are important. As a result, my clients receive tools of wellness to help them to live in optimal wellness. I work with people to help them. I am eclectic to best meet the needs of the individuals in treatment."

"Whether it's for general stress management or intense feelings inhibiting functioning in your everyday life, your mental health wellness is important. Seeking support can be scary, exciting, or a combination of both. At Erin Pontbriand Counseling each individual is treated just as that, with individual care and attention."

"I believe in being non-judgmental and that when you feel comfortable and trusting you can then explore, and often resolve, whatever problems you are facing. I think it is important for you to be mindful of your thoughts and beliefs to better understand patterns in your life. I will encourage you to be MINDFUL of how you respond to others and to your environment as a means of learning about yourself. I believe change happens when we carefully examine our beliefs and behaviors, then decide to do something differently"

"Many of our members come to us because they were prescribed pain medication from their doctors and became reliant on the medications. When their doctor stopped prescribing, they began buying pills on the streets or began using other drugs like heroin. Scared, they come to us looking for a way out of their drug misuse. They want a better quality of life. At Groups: Recover Together, we combine group therapy with medication to provide a less restrictive treatment option that allows members to balance recovery with work and other commitments which reduces cravings and prevents overdose."

"I utilize a holistic approach to wellbeing for people seeking quality of life. I use both traditional & contemporary/alternative approaches to therapy & I meet clients where they are & together we create a plan of care. I offer a sacred space where people come to experience support (remote appointments available) & healing of mind, body & soul. I also work with these issues: Religious &/or Spiritual Issues, Shame & Disconnection from Self and Others. My name is listed under Health Affiliates Maine for insurance coverage. My self pay rate is 150.00 to $50.00 for individuals & couples $150.00-$70.00 depending on need. "

"We make sense of our lives through our stories. Personal stories, old family stories—we choose the stories that define us. But sometimes, these tales feel broken, giving rise to self-doubt—sapping our confidence, depriving us of a sense of well being, and interfering with our most cherished relationships. Add today’s fast paced culture and the pressure of balancing work (or school) and family, and it all can leave you feeling stressed, anxious, and sad. "

"Do you have past experiences that continue to impact your relationships, health, work, and overall sense of well-being? Is low self esteem keeping you from living the life you want to live?

"It takes courage to face that we are lost or struggling. Being here means you’ve already taken an important step toward self-love and care. I believe that what connects most humans is our underlying drive for understanding, love, and belonging. As our lives unfold, the ways in which we used to cope can become barriers to experiencing authenticity, meaning, and connection. Instead, we experience things like self-doubt, stress, chronic pain, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, loneliness, and loss of direction. I collaborate with clients to heal and make meaning from the past, learn new skills, and manifest the life they want. "

"Life can be challenging! Often we neglect our emotional health and the increase of daily stress, worry and hurts from our past can take their toll on the daily functioning. I have 19 years of experience in private practice as a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor to use to your benefit. I believe healing can take place through a caring, supportive therapeutic relationship. I have assisted children, teen, adults and families to explore their emotions and develop skills to make changes for a more satisfying life. "I am not what happened to me. I am what I choose to become." Carl Jung"

"Accepting new clients! Everyone can use a little support now and then. My ability to be non-judgmental and to help others feel very comfortable with me is my superpower. Whether it is depression, anxiety, grief, chronic pain, eating out of control, it always helps to get another perspective and some concrete ways of coping. Using techniques such as Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Processing technique and Narrative therapy can help in the process of self discovery and recovery."

"Welcome and thank you for considering me to be apart of your journey toward growth, self-acceptance, and self-healing! I have a specialty working with eating disorders and I received my eating disorder certificate from Plymouth State Universities Eating Disorder Institute. I am also a certified alcohol and drug counselor. I provide individual and family therapy to teen and adult women who are struggling with eating disorders, poor body-image, low self-esteem, substance use, anxiety, and depression. Our work together will be collaborative and I take a strength based and client-centered approach in my sessions."

"Life can be overwhelming-leaving little time or energy for peaceful introspection. I use a warm acceptance and humor to help clients face challenging dilemmas. Without understanding the motivation behind our impulses, we can lose our way, sometimes getting stuck for years, and developing maladaptive emotional coping difficulties. I help people recognize and overcome their self-limiting belief systems, generating greater self knowledge, confidence and having the ability to tolerate the emotional strains of contemporary living. I have over 20 years of work experience in the trauma field- working with both survivors and perpetrators of abuse."

"AFFORDABLE COUNSELING and EVALUATIONS. Do you struggle with negative, ineffective thought patterns? Perhaps these thought patterns are brought on by anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma or poor quality of life? Perhaps they are brought on by ineffective stress management, unhealthy communication, poor relationships? It is my belief that our patterns of behavior are heavily influenced by our thoughts, feelings and emotions. These patterns often keep us stuck and unable to move forward. I can help you get unstuck, increase your quality of life and move into your highest and best self. I can throw in a little humor as well!"
