At the Partnership for Trauma Recovery we believe that true healing happens when we find the courage to look at the root of the long standing patterns and difficulties we have. While learning to cope with the daily burdens of these patterns is an important skill, our philosophy is that simply learning to manage only places a bandage on the problem. In order to truly heal we have to look deeper into ourselves and try to determine where these patterns developed.

Welcome! In this very moment you're choosing to be on your journey. My therapeutic philosophy is to facilitate and support your body's innate healing response through the applications of EMDR, (EMDRIA.ORG) and heart-centered therapies. EMDR in particular works to liberate clients from past trauma memories whether that be small "t" trauma or big 'T" trauma and to transform a person's subconscious beliefs thus "turning down the volume" on negative memories/negative beliefs and transforming those subconscious beliefs back into positive core beliefs so that you may become your highest aspect of yourself.

I see my role as helping people live happier and healthier lives. I like to facilitate progress and help people take an active role in the process of change. I believe in creating a good working relationship with the clients, and identifying goals and ways to accomplish them. Therefore, I work best with people who are motivated to work during and outside of therapy sessions. I often work with clients who experience anxiety, ADHD symptoms, relationship and communication difficulties, stress, sleep problems,depression, trauma, weight problems, want to quit smoking or to simply improve their sense of wellbeing and purpose.

Art Therapy is for everyone. By combining art making with psychotherapy, the creative process can be both a container to hold personal content and a pathway to communicate and explore current struggles. The non-verbal materials used in Art Therapy include familiar arts (drawing, painting, weaving, pottery, jewelry) as well as more narrative modalities (mixed-media collage, music, poetry, guided imagery/meditation). A photo gallery of client artwork is available at www.manymoonstherapy.org.

My name is Kelly Sorensen, and I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor working in private practice here in Freeport, Maine. As a mental health professional, my desire is to help people move toward growth, hope, and healing. Whether you are struggling to cope with difficult life challenges, need help processing past or recent trauma, or would like support with personal life goals; counseling can be a powerful tool in your journey. Together we can work to build skills, leverage your strengths, and develop insight that can help you move toward your personal goals.

Hi, I'm Signe. Welcome to my mindful integrative therapy practice. I provide a safe space to support the awakening of your potential as you heal your emotional heart. As suffering is relieved and transformed, you will shed old patterns that no longer serve you. Mind-body-spirit health brings you into harmony within yourself that allows positive energy to expand in and around you, radiating out into the world.

Do you find yourself feeling stuck in a recurring pattern that you don't understand or feel you have no control over? Do you have nagging beliefs about yourself or the world that impact you every day? Often, we find ourselves in these situations and need help to break the cycles we're in. I believe that this change comes from identifying and working with the root of the problem, instead of just learning to cope with the challenges. I work with clients to identify these troublesome past experiences and create lasting changes in those unhelpful patterns of behavior.

I welcome clients of all ages, stages, phases, genders, sexual identities and orientations, races, religions, and national origins. I invite you exactly as you are. My personal approach to therapy is blending traditional and alternative practices to offer professional and creative counseling for all of my clients and encourage personal growth and healing using a variety of approaches. I believe each individual is whole and complete, regardless of obstacles that may currently be present. My job then, is to assist you in rediscovering your innate wholeness, collecting possible fragments of yourself, and finding inner peace and contentment--at any age.

**I am not currently taking new clients** Life has many changes and transitions in it, and often it is helpful to have someone to help you navigate through them. I would like to be a part of your journey, helping you move as smoothly as possible through this time.

The world is upside down, unpredictable, and twisted up these days. It can feel that way inside, too. Like there’s no solid ground and you’re just drifting along. If you're tired, anxious, sad, angry, depressed, lonely, empty...that all makes total sense in life in general and especially in this upended world. Whether your struggles are related to the pandemic, to life events, or past pain, there is safe harbor. I provide support for a wide variety of concerns. Anxiety, depression, grief, coping with a chronic or terminal health diagnosis, eco-anxiety/grief, and helping parents in blended families are particular interests.

A trusting relationship between client and practitioner is the most important factor in creating growth. I use a down to earth approach so therapist and client can work collaboratively to "name the elephant" in the client's life, drill down to the core of issues and discover how patterns from the past repeat in the present. I am passionate about challenging stuck points, old habits and irrational beliefs with care, compassion and respect. I am never afraid to bring humor into a session when appropriate as I value the healing properties of laughter.

Thank you for your interest in my psychotherapy practice. I specialize in evidence based therapy for adults. Common themes addressed in therapy include anxiety, depression, behavior challenges, parenting concerns, peer relationships and loss of a loved one. I work collaboratively with each client to best understand the unique needs of each individual no matter the age or stage of development.

I help individuals, families, and couples find workable solutions for life's problems. As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I enjoy working with teens, adults, couples, and families. I strive to create a safe, nurturing, and respectful environment to facilitate positive change, growth, and healing. I help clients clarify the roots of struggle and how to overcome them to create the life they want.

I really enjoy working with adolescents and adults on issues such as anxiety, depression, perinatal/postpartum depression/anxiety, grief and loss, trauma, life transitions, issues affecting teenage girls, and women's issues. My work is best described as relational and strengths based, with a focus on the use of mindfulness skills and the teaching of cognitive behavioral skills to assist in dealing with life's challenges. I feel that my job is to be a partner and support on your journey towards change. I look forward to talking with you!

Are you experiencing distressing levels of anxiety, stress and depression that make it hard to study, work, parent and play? Even though you have a natural, built-in ability to heal and regain balance, extra support from therapy can boost resilience in difficult times. Whether change happens through personal choice or unexpected circumstances, I will help you explore, understand and integrate these life-transforming experiences. I take a holistic, mind-body approach in my work as a psychologist, and I will support you to heal and grow in ways that are most meaningful for you.
