Obsessive-Compulsive (OCD) Therapists in 04072

Did you ever watch Boy Meets World growing up? If yes, skip the next two sentences. If no, then let me set the scene. A 90’s sitcom about the wholesome, suburban Philadelphia Matthews family, who have two teenage sons. The older brother, Eric, bonks his younger brother, Cory, in the forehead and says “Life’s tough, get a helmet.” While I don’t condone violence, I do agree that life can be tough sometimes. While wearing a helmet is beneficial in a lot of scenarios (i.e. riding a bike), it is not so beneficial in the emotional, social, psychological, or theoretical realms.

Please Note: Due to extended wait times, we have unfortunately had to close our waitlist for children under 15, couples and family counseling at this time. We are a mental health agency proudly serving MaineCare clients. Our therapists help individuals and families to lead lives they feel good about. Couples, families, adults, and children have all benefited from the work we do. We look forward to working with all MaineCare clients. We have offices in Portland and Biddeford (catt-associates.com/locations) to serve the local community, and offer Telehealth sessions as well.

Immediate openings available. The things we find difficult in life come in many different guises. They can be challenging to navigate alone. Relationship issues, death of a loved one, depression and anxiety can become part of anyone's life at any time. If you are finding life challenging right now you may feel you would like support and this is where therapy can help.

I am a licensed clinical social worker and I have been working in the field as a therapist for more than 6 years. I have history working with teens, adults and families. My approach is collaborative, trauma informed and I believe that every person's needs are unique. We can work together to determine which treatment is best for your specific needs.

With over twenty years of experience in mental health and addiction, I am dedicated to supporting individuals on their paths to healing from trauma and challenging belief systems that cause emotional suffering. I specialize in using EMDR to help clients process their traumas, enabling them to embrace life with greater freedom and joy. I am particularly committed to assisting women who have experienced an abortion, providing perspective and compassionate support to those struggling to move forward. My goal is to accompany you on your journey to healing, offering guidance and understanding every step of the way

Life can be difficult at times. We all have periods of ups and downs.It's when those downs begin to feel overwhelming, make you anxious, and negatively impact important areas of your life, such as your relationships, work, health, spirituality, and the way you feel about yourself that seeking professional help might be beneficial.

The anxiety, depression, and identity issues that can arise from trauma and other personal issues can confuse and defeat our best intentions for ourselves - especially when the trauma was experienced early in life, interrupting the developmental cycle. I am here for those who find they struggle to create change in their lives due to early trauma or who struggle to overcome the outmoded and worn stories that do not serve the person they would like to be. In working together you will discover and apply coping skills for everyday triggers, broaden self-regulation, and develop self-awareness.

My goal as a therapist is to help clients embrace their fullest potential by exploring thoughts, feelings and behaviors that impact their relationship with themselves and others. I am committed to helping clients view their challenges as pathways to create positive change.

Currently Accepting New Self-Pay Clients. Telehealth Only. Are you having a problem with alcohol? Cannot stop using drugs? Struggling with a negative attitude? Have racing thoughts? Worry about everything? Just plain feeling down in the dumps, hopeless even? Maybe it is time to make a change. Maybe it is time to stop bottling up and stuffing those negative emotions. Maybe it is time to stop avoiding all your problems and letting them build up. It is time to take control of your life.

I am a minister as well as a clinical counselor. Faith as well as counseling can help a person or couple work through problems. I have had over 20 years of experience in both worlds and am comfortable working wherever you are. I use many modern therapeutic techniques but I can also root them in ancient faith traditions. My orientation is Christian. Along with my private practice in counseling, I am adjunct faculty at Bangor Seminary and teach Grief counseling, and Spirituality and Healing.

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? Together we will address these concerns and develop skills that will enhance your self esteem - an essential foundation for healthy growth. Bringing into balance past experience with present physical, emotional and spiritual awareness can lead you to a happier, more fulfilling life without the fear, anxiety and stress that can be so limiting.

During a therapy session, I am very interactive, attentive, compassionate, and holistic based. I'm down to earth, feel that it is a privilege and an honor to work with people where ever they are on this journey called life. I believe having a sense of humor is important. I would be delighted to work with you individually or as a couple, on a short or long term basis. Please call for a free phone consultation.

Accepting new clients. If you are here, you are likely feeling challenged, fearful or maybe stuck right now. It takes strength and courage to reach for help; I know this isn't easy. I believe every person has the potential to grow and change and I am here to support you, not to judge you. If you are ready, I am here to help. Sometimes taking that first step can seem lonely, overwhelming or intimidating. I can help to make your journey for change less overwhelming. I will be here as a source of truth, hope, and support, while witnessing the full spectrum of your journey.

Welcome! I am a licensed therapist here in Maine who specializes in women and trauma. I also am certified in DBT! I have experience working with Borderline Personality Disorder, Bipolar Disorder, and C-PTSD. I also focus on woman and postpartum and perinatal care. I am a supporter of empowerment, helping people to find themselves and heal in a space where their voice is heard and they feel supported. I use a trauma-informed framework to help hold a warm and safe space for you to heal. I work hard to help you feel heard, understood, and in control of your healing.

I provide supportive + focused counseling for individuals navigating early parenthood, relationship shifts/challenges, pregnancy, fertility, IUI + IVF, miscarriage, postpartum planning + postpartum life and beyond. I provide a down-to-earth, attachment focused, and personalized approach. Some of my favorite things: supporting confidence building (in birth prep, parenting, relationship needs + wants, assertiveness, and so much more), sharing concrete resources like books, videos, other providers, practicing slowing down, breathing exercises, and guided meditation.

NOTICE: due to practice being full, I am on a temporary hold from taking new clients. Thanks for your patience and understanding. We all have the capacity to experience more meaning and joy in our lives. I love helping clients move beyond their blocks to reach their own ability to find theirs. Every client is unique: having different needs, learning styles and histories. My goal is to honor the client's individual needs to find the most effective and appropriate approach in handling their treatment.

I believe you are the expert in the room!! That being said....I do not have a magic book of answers.... but instead I provide, caring, thoughtful cooperative approach to helping people make changes in their lives. Making changes, requires a team approach. I have extensive experience in addressing fears, anxiety, depression, low self esteem and psychological trauma.

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.
