"I will do my best to offer experiences in therapy that support the changes you seek in your daily life. My approach is holistic and eclectic, flexible to your needs and the issues that you bring. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Licensed Alcohol and Drug Counselor, with a specialty in EMDR. (You can find information at the EMDR International Association: www.emdria.org). My clients include individuals, couples, families, children, teens, and adults. I have done this work for many years, am trained in a variety of perspectives, and continue to learn new ones."

"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."

"I have been a primary care Pediatrician in Maine for 19 years. In May 2002, I was one of two Maine physicians listed in Ladies Home Journal as one of America's Best family doctors, and in 2012 was listed as one of US News and World Reports "Top Doctors." I am currently working with children and adolescents teaching them self hypnosis to help in the treatment of fears and phobias, anxiety and stress, migraine, functional headaches and abdominal pain, tics and habits, sleep issues, bed wetting, stool holding, ADD, ADHD and asthma."

"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."

"Play Therapy / Sand Tray Therapy / Expressive work for children and their families to support awareness, balance and growth. Strength-based, empowerment focus . Skilled in Filial Therapy to help families re-learn play. Available to work in client home , school and/ or natural environment. Adventure-based and outdoor focus, when appropriate."

"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."

"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."

"It is a distinct honor and privilege to help facilitate healing and transformation in people's lives. Clients report they leave our sessions feeling rejuvenated, grounded, valued, and heard. I am trained in EMDR and Mindifulness Based Cogntive Therapy, and have extensive clinical experience utilizing these modalities as part of treatment for PTSD, addiction issues, eating disorders, depression, OCD, and anxiety and/or fears. Most recently (2018), I became certified to teach both Hatha Yoga (200 hr) and Yoga Nidra. With a client's interest and permission, trauma sensitive embodied movement and guided meditation can be incorporated in sessions to enhance and deepen healing."

"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 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."

"I have been in the healing profession for 30+ years. Through my work as an energy psychotherapist over the past decade, I have witnessed dramatic changes in my clients lives. I use a variety of healing modalities, coupled with a traditional therapeutic approach. In my experience, energy work alone will often relieve or eliminate emotional or physical symptoms. Combining this with therapy provides us with an understanding of why we act in destructive ways, the opportunity to re-evaluate those decisions and provide tools necessary to break free from old, limiting beliefs. The desired outcome is to create positive lasting change."

"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."

"Trained at Boston University School of Social Work, I graduated in 1982 with an MSW degree. My specialties are: depression, anxiety, PTSD, couples counseling, food addiction, mood disorders, grief and loss and issues of low self esteem. I work with adolescents, adults, couples, families and elderly. I draw from my life experience as well as my book learning. I know that using my intuition, considerable insight and compassion help me to understand each and every client and feel from their perspective what is most pressing to address. The journey is to help the client know and understand self."

"I believe that seeking help for life's struggles doesn't have to feel like work; in fact, I prefer to take "a spoon full of sugar" approach with people of all ages. This is an important component of my philosophy which supports me as a youth and family therapist. I enjoy working with people who are interested in learning about themselves or who find themselves adjusting to transitions. Loss, chronic illness, parenting, anxiety and/or depression are all areas of familiarity."

"Welcome to my practice. I offer comprehensive counseling services to adolescents and adults. Using a collaborative model, I partner with clients to address short and long-term concerns with compassion, understanding, and concrete tools/skills. I can be particularly helpful to those who are struggling with low self-esteem, anxiety, depression, the effects of trauma, grief and loss, major life transitions, or interpersonal conflict, as well as those who would like to increase overall well-being and quality of life."

"All of us face challenges every day. Some are large in nature and require a lot of assistance to get through, others are smaller and require minimal help. Therapy starts with identifying these challenges and then developing the skills to reduce and ideally resolve them. Some therapy focuses on gaining insight into the origin of the issue which helps to reduce and resolve it, other therapy is focused on solving a specific issue. Some therapy spans years while others can be as short as a few months. I believe in the inherent healing capacity of the individual."

"I have been working with adults of all ages for the past 20 years. During this time, I have helped people with some of the following issues and life challenges: depression; anxiety/panic; trauma/PTSD; life transitions; grief and loss; chronic pain and illness; domestic abuse; parenting; grandparenting; self injury; relationship issues; conflict in the work place; gay and lesbian issues; self esteem; sexuality; sexual abuse"

"Are you experiencing distressing symptoms of anxiety, stress and depression that are making it harder to study, work, parent and play? Even though you have a natural, built-in ability to heal and regain balance, extra therapy support 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."

"I offer a counseling practice blending clinical mental health theory & practice with a strong holistic perspective. I work with individuals (adults and adolescents age 14 & older), using skill based teaching & mindfulness-based practices to help manage moods, stress and life transitions."

"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."
