"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."

"My practice is full for new clients until Feb 2020. 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, adults and elders.. I have done this work for many years, am trained in a variety of perspectives, and continue to learn new ones."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"You’re stuck, hurting, spinning, and you don’t know why you can’t work your way through things this time. Something is missing. You don’t know where to turn so you’re looking for a therapist, but you’re not really sure sitting in an office talking to a stranger is going to help. Get unstuck by getting outside with me. Many of us know already that time spent at the ocean and in the woods makes us feel better. As a nature based counselor, I welcome Maine’s woods and waters as 'co-therapists'. Outside, we can sit, walk, and explore, moving through the stuck and finding what is missing, so you can feel yourself again. "

"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."

"Welcome to my practice. I offer comprehensive counseling services to adolescents, adults, and couples. 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."

"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."

"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."
