Aetna Therapists in Maine

I'm Dr. Akamin Nkengaka, a License Clinical Social Worker and a License Advanced Alcohol & Drugs Counselor with 15 years of evidence based clinical experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, coping with addictions, trauma informed care, suicidal ideation, abuse, self-esteem, and relationships. I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you to overcome negative challenges in your life.

I am a licensed clinical social worker and have been working in the field as a therapist for 6 years. I approach therapy from a collaborative, strengths-based perspective with a goal of creating a warm, non-judgmental space where we can openly explore and process life's challenging experiences. You will be met with empathy, curiosity and a sense of respect for your whole self. I will support you in drawing upon the strengths and values you already possess to establish a more confident, fulfilled life.

I want you to know that you can do this, you have the key to creating your own change. I approach my therapeutic work with the idea that the efforts to support mental health are equally as important to the priority we have for our physical health. My focus is on your needs and wants, this is about you and what you are looking to achieve in your own life and within counseling. My hopes are that my approach will allow you to feel calm and safe in session, that you can be your most honest and genuine self, that you feel respected, understood, and heard.

Life these days can be complicated, confusing and challenging. As a psychotherapist, my goal is to offer an open, non-judgmental and safe therapeutic relationship to help foster personal growth and change. I am fluent in a variety of physical and psychological conditions, including fibromyalgia, chronic pain, depression, anxiety, phobias, relationship issues, grief/loss, bipolar disorder, insomnia, and many others. I am also a master clinician in Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART). For more information on ART, please visit my website via the link on the left.

Consider what it would be like to live without self-doubt and less worry. Consider enjoying a moment for the experience instead of re-visiting experiences over and over in your mind by allowing your thoughts to spin stories that often begin with "what if . . ." or "I should have . . ." The role of a therapist is not to be in the middle of troubles and is not about giving advice or telling someone what to do. However, many people feel that once they have a trusted "neutral" person to speak their stories to then they have begun the process of healing.

Dr. Kimberly Landrau is a Psychologist in Maine who has been practicing since 2023. Dr. Landrau offers cognitive behavioral therapy to individuals to support optimal development of their potential. In her spare time, Dr. Landrau enjoys outdoor activities, including hiking.

I utilize a holistic approach to wellbeing for people seeking quality of life. I use both traditional & contemporary/alternative approaches to therapy & I meet clients where they are & together we create a plan of care. I offer a sacred space (virtually) where people come to experience support & healing of mind, body & spirit. I accept most insurances. My self pay rate is 125.00 (I do have a sliding fee). I also offer Life Coaching- when a person does not have a mental health diagnosis & is seeking support for various reasons such as life & career changes... Life Coaching is not covered by insurance.

It is a courageous step to consider and begin therapy. Life offers us many joys and successes and along the way, challenges and stresses. We all have periods when the challenges and stresses seem to completely overshadow the joys. In these moments we may feel directionless, stuck in sadness and fear, anxiety and depression, emptiness and shame. No matter how stuck we may feel, there is always a path through.

My work is informed by 25 years of professional experience and as a seasoned human being. I work with adults who are struggling with addiction, depression, difficulty controlling emotions and behaviors, temporary stressful life circumstances, or organic illnesses who might benefit from talking with someone who is an active listener, offers a non-judgmental perspective, and someone who establishes a caring sense of connection and support. I have a deep understanding of how addiction, loss, depression, and a sense of not knowing where to turn can feel.

Kayla Musielak-Hanold is a Licensed Clinical Psychologist (LCP) who has over 10 years of experience working with adults to create wellness in their lives. She offers counseling and talk therapy services; however, she does not currently offer psychological testing. Kayla has worked with individuals of all ages, from infants to elders. From these varied experiences, she has developed a big-picture, holistic view of mental health.

I am a seasoned clinician who has worked with adults, couples and families for over 30 years. Increased awareness leads to increased options. Often the work of therapy is about making or repairing connections--interpersonal, internal or perhaps even spiritual. I provide individual adult psychodynamic psychotherapy; couples counseling: marital, pre and post divorce. I use a multi modal approach often including assessment and treatment from a family systems perspective and a psychodynamic perspective. I reserve a portion of my practice to provide a safe and intriguing space for children to express themselves and to be understood by adults. Facilitated parent-child sessions often help.

I am shifting my practice to online and home/community-based treatment. I currently accept all insurances. Please call and we may chat!

We often find ourselves stuck in all too familiar negative patterns. Patterns of behavior that we know don't serve ourselves or our loved ones. Patterns of thought that always seem to tear us down no matter how much progress we make. Patterns within relationships that are less than we deserve. Patterns of anxiety and stress that feel out of our control. Many of us have worked hard to understand and change these patterns: setting goals, self-help books, therapy, medication, meditation, and so on. Yet we find that the deepest patterns are frustratingly stubborn, seeming to rise to the surface no matter how much work we've done.

I specialize in providing an authentic, dynamic and collaborative environment where clients can safely explore challenges and create goals. I provide couples, family, and individual therapy working mainly from a humanistic approach, with some elements of the psychodynamic perspective. I am also experienced with the treatment of eating disorders.
