My practice is currently full. Sometimes life events or problems can leave us feeling stressed-out, frustrated or depressed and we can't easily work it out on our own. While emotions and stress are part of a healthy, normal life, they can often be an indicator that professional help is needed. If you’re feeling stuck, or struggling to get traction creating positive change, sometimes all that is needed is a little help to get you on the right track. Therapy is good way to help you understand more about what’s getting in the way and finding ways to release your own barriers, opening you up to make meaningful connections.

I love to collaborate with clients to assist them in having deeper, more meaningful relationships with both themselves and others. During my 20+ years of practice, my clients have told me that what they have valued the most about my style is my ability to be frank, humorous, warm and approachable. Good therapy is not just talking, its about taking action in your day to day life. I love to teach practical, everyday skills to elicit rapid change. Working with me will be like taking a class in YOU.

Most people experience times in their lives when they feel stuck or overwhelmed with life's challenges. This can be a result of specific challenging events such as career struggles, divorce, bereavement, retirement, becoming a new parent or an empty nester or generally feeling that your life has reached an impasse and you don't know what action to take next. Sometimes people feel they have been leading a life where it has been a difficult since childhood, often as a result of loss or traumatic events. This can result in feeling disconnected to your authentic self and other people.

I have been a practicing psychotherapist for 30 years.I have worked in a variety of clinical settings,recently,working for NBC Universal Studios as a psychotherapist and production consultant. My areas of specialty are treating depression and anxiety issues,couples therapy and children/adults with ADD/ADHD. I work with men, women, adolescents, families and couples. I believe that the hardest part of changing your life, is finding the courage to make an initial phone call to a therapist. I welcome your phone call and the potential opportunity to work with you.

Hi and thank you for visiting my page. My name is Lisa and I’m a clinical social worker with 16 years of experience. I specialize in working with first responders, emergency medical and hospital personnel with PTSD, anxiety, those who are going through life transitions and those who are grieving.

I believe that the most important part of therapy is the relationship I have with each client. In order to build and strengthen the relationship, I prioritize creating a trusting and fun environment where children feel safe and comfortable expressing all parts of themselves. I value meeting each child where they are at and what they bring to our space with one another.

If you are experiencing depression, relationship challenges, adjustment concerns, and/or difficulties coping with transition, please reach out for an appointment with me. I work with older adolescent and adult clients and I specialize in helping high-achieving college students and professionals who feel dissatisfied and are struggling with adjustment, identity, imposter syndrome and relationship challenges.

At present, my practice is limited to men and women in the law enforcement community and their families.

My goal as your counselor is to provide a safe and caring environment to help you adjust to the changes that you want to explore making in your life.

We have all gone through different struggles in our lives where we need a little help in order to move forward. Whether you are looking to create a plan to get out of a stressful situation or have been struggling with depression or anxiety for some time, I can help. I have been in the field providing counseling to adolescents and adults for over 15 years. I utilize a variety of approaches that have been very effective when traditional talk therapy has fallen short.

Welcome! Does anxiety and/or depression plague your mind that makes it hard to concentrate and make connections? Is your adolescent struggling to manage his/her feelings and it affects their ability to function at school, with peers, or at home? Counseling is not easy, it is brave and courageous, a necessary "evil", face our fears about ourself and others to improve our quality of life. I provide both individual and family counseling for adolescents and adults.

I enjoy working with a wide variety of adults in individual and group therapy to address diverse issues across their lifespan. I approach therapy primarily from an Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) perspective. This approach works to increase a person’s ability to be present in the moment, open up to various life experiences and let go of old ones, and take actions guided by their core values. However, I draw upon and integrate other approaches as needed based on my clients’ specific needs, desires, and identities. I am currently completing my residency year at Psychology Specialists of Maine.

I offer individual counseling to adults and adolescents ages 14 and over. I also enjoy working with couples. My approach is a combination of cognitive-behavioral (actively working on changing ones thoughts and behaviors) and therapeutic mindfulness (learning to experience difficulties with awareness and self-compassion rather than judgment and avoidance). I place a strong emphasis on building communication and coping skills that can be used again and again in challenging situations. I have experience treating anxiety disorders, depression, trauma, self-harming behaviors, and counseling around life transitions and family concerns.

With a wide array of professional experiences, I have found my passion to be working individually with others to help them overcome challenges in their life. I believe in working together to find ways to better manage and deal with the struggles of life that we all go through.

Therapy is an experience of collaboration and trust. I tailor my approach to each individual’s needs and preferences. I provide a safe, non-judgmental environment and work from a strength-based perspective. I am interactive, not shying away from giving feedback, but fundamentally believe each individual has the capacity to set their own goals and measure their own success. I have extensive experience treating adults with a variety of disorders such as depression, anxiety, PTSD, and with those suffering from maladaptive coping strategies.

I have always been interested in the integration of the body and the mind and its effects on physical and mental well-being. I am certified as both a life coach and an eating disorder specialist . I have had a private psychotherapy practice, both in Portland and Brunswick. I was a co-owner of Back Cove Counseling Center, psychotherapist at New England Women’s Center, and helped design an outpatient mindfulness based weight loss program in Brunswick.

Life demands a lot from us. The world can feel overwhelming, relationships can be triggering, and families can be trying. The parts of us that require healing are often sites of shame or trauma—either that we've experienced ourselves or inherited from our ancestors. My goal as a therapist is to create an environment of authenticity, attunement, and compassion, where you can feel at ease unfolding and exploring this often daunting terrain. I am deeply invested in working to understand you and the stories which have led you to the present moment.

My name is Grace and I love my work. My efforts are consistently to help people grow and heal within relationships. I do this by being a gentle, present human, and by supporting people with not only accessing their own inner strengths but with mobilizing the wisdom that lives inside of each couple. Sometimes this is about healing and coming together, and sometimes this is about learning how to kindly separate; occasionally it is about both. I have advanced training in couple's therapy; however, I encourage people to remember that one can do relational work even when a partner doesn't join in therapy. I do see individual and couples.
