Therapists in Thomaston, ME

Therapy is a relationship between the client and therapist that gives you the opportunity to process and me the privilege of listening and offering another perspective on your situation. As a multiculturally competent counselor, I want to create a brave, non-judgemental space where you feel encouraged and celebrated to be your genuine self. Stable Minds therapy incorporates the neurobiology of horsemanship and the trauma brain in order to understand communication, coping mechanisms, emotional regulation, relationships, and so much more.

Is your life turning out the way you planned? Are your personal relationships succeeding? Are you finding the right career for you? Do people know the real you? Too often we lose track of how we exist each day. Depression over past mistakes or anxiety about what might happen in the future prevent us from being who we really want to be in the present. The goal of counseling is to help you develop a better relationship with your 'self' in order to improve your relationships with others.

I believe truly understanding a person’s journey begins with a compassionate heart. Each person is beautifully unique, harbors inner strengths, and is on a developmental journey, no matter what their age. I work collaboratively and creatively to identify these strengths and explore developmental perspective. During our work together, it is my goal to create a private and safe place in which to explore, heal, and grow.

Sometimes the state of our world can feel so scary and heartbreaking that we feel immobilized. Much of our potential is blocked by feeling overwhelmed by the day to day challenge of struggling to advocate for ourselves in our communities, the world, even in our own thoughts and beliefs! It is easy to feel anxious, alone and simultaneously at war with ourselves. I emphasize serving individuals that experience marginalized identities and see myself as your co-conspirator. I work with issues of identity and non-normative experiences, in the context of gender, sexuality as well as queer experience beyond that framework

As a counselor, I bring unconditional positive regard, a belief in individual strengths, and an unwavering commitment to you. I am genuine, empathic, intuitive, and passionate about helping you. I use person centered therapy first and foremost; meaning that I'm always looking for the good in you, believing in you and supporting you to make your life feel it's most fulfilled. For each person that's different - for some it's "happiness", for some it's being present or mindful, and for some it's managing symptoms so other things can be balanced in their life. From this support, I hope to create a space where you can pursue your needs.

Are you constantly worried about what might happen? Do you re-play situations in your mind and wish you could go back and change what you said? Do you doubt yourself? Does all of this negative thinking make you feel exhausted? Symptoms of anxiety can take a toll on your well being and can cause many unwanted results. Anxiety can surface for many reasons at any time in your life. Experiencing these emotions can affect our relationships as well. It can be scary to take that first step to seek counseling, however that first step is all you need.

The style I use is eclectic and offers compassionate understanding in a relaxed environment that supports growth and personal exploration for individuals and couples. My methods include the use of creative expression through creative play, art, dramatic play, music, puppetry, creative writing, sculpture, painting, and other modalities for adult clients. I also offer traditional talk therapies designed for clients to develop solution-focused ideas to their own concerns as the goal is for each client to become their own best expert.

If I were looking for a therapist; I'd be hunting for the person that would listen & reflect on what they heard; offer advice that aligned with the problems presented, and challenge me to expand my perspective. I would want them to respect my beliefs and values; and provide authentic, life-giving examples to apply to my situation - using layman's terms and not their medical terminology vocabulary; but through their heart. Lastly, they would have to be funny and make me laugh through my pain. If that's you, reach out to me and we'll chat to determine if we align and could work well together!
