Alzheimer's Therapists in Pittsfield, ME

Focused on healing through trauma-informed, body-based care and grounded in family systems theory, I draw on a range of counseling approaches including; psychodynamic, transpersonal, existential, expressive, mindfulness, mind-body, behavioral (DBT and CBT). Together we sojourn toward self-awareness and compassion for self. Emblematic moments from the past may have become conditioned responses to the present. We focus both on here and now and historical events. TAT (Tapas Acupressure Technique), mindfulness, sensorimotor psychotherapy and EMDR-Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing help re-program stored arousal in the body.

We try to take care of ourselves, connect with supportive people, and make good decisions - but being alive can be overwhelming at times - losses of health, loved ones, our sense of balance. When this happens it may bring up older unresolved issues or we may feel depressed or anxious. Sometimes it helps to just slow things down and look at what's going on with curiosity rather than judgment. It might be time to take a step back to look at what your goals are, what obstructs you enjoying your life more and getting satisfaction from your relationships - to look at creating new meaning from your experiences.

Perhaps you are going through a rough patch and could use support and guidance, or perhaps you’ve struggled for many years and would like to see things differently, live things differently and are ready to “do therapy.” You are not broken. We each of us are inherently whole and in response to internalized messages and expected roles, or difficult situations and difficult histories, ill health, extreme stressors or trauma, our lives can feel broken. My passion is to help you feel more connected to yourself and the people you love and the world around you.

I am a clinical counselor and board certified clinical mental health counselor and am licensed to practice in Maine. I have an M.S. in counseling from the University of Southern Maine and a J.D. from Harvard Law School. I am a member of the American Academy of Experts in Traumatic Stress and have completed an EMDRIA approved program in EMDR therapy. My practice style is informal and client-centered and I enjoy working with clients on specific issues as well as longer term work.

Welcome! If you are contemplating therapy for any reason, I congratulate you on taking this courageous first step. Therapy offers a unique opportunity to explore aspects of life that can be difficult to navigate alone. I believe in the healing power of a collaborative therapeutic relationship and work to provide a warm, supportive and empowering environment where lasting growth and change can take place. I draw from a variety of clinical psychotherapeutic methodologies, further informed by years of experience as a Registered Nurse, to help my clients navigate life stressors and to achieve the happiness that they deserve.

Hello! My name is Mira. I believe that our power comes from our story. Our power as well as our challenges. Your lived history is what brought you to this present moment, and as a counselor, I aim to help you discover where patterns emerged, help you make connections to your current life, and help you to use concrete methods to transform the challenges into dependable tools for your path forward. I meet clients both in person, and remotely, and offer evening sessions as well.

I’m a licensed psychologist with experience working in inpatient psychiatric, outpatient counseling, and outpatient neurorehabilitation settings.

I am an RN and Level 2 Trained IFS Practitioner. I understand that education on a continuing basis is an absolute; allowing for delivery of high-quality, skillfully-honed sessions. I hold a certificate of completion from IFSCA (Internal Family Systems Counseling Association). I am also Level 2 Trained by the IFS Institute in IFS education. I continue to update knowledge periodically, attesting to my ethics and promise that in serving as a Level 2 Trained IFS Practitioner, I will uphold quality practice and conduct distinctly professional, but warm and loving sessions with you.

I enjoy working with people from all walks of life and throughout the lifespan. I tailor evidence-based therapeutic approaches to meet the needs, expectations, and goals of my clients. I use client centered methods grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focusing on strengths, positive psychology, gratitude, mindfulness, relationships, choices, and solutions. I offer individual therapy and I co-facilitate a teen art therapy group in Lewiston on Saturday mornings. I am also certified for Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy.

Reaching out for support during challenging times can be daunting and my approach is to meet you where you are and walk alongside you to create lasting and meaningful change in your life. As a relational and client-centered therapist, I believe that our relationships with those in our lives directly impact our worldview and experiences. I find that the client-therapist relationship is fundamental to a positive and successful therapy experience. I utilize a strengths-based approach as a foundation from which clients can grow and I also appreciate bringing humor into the therapy space.

My name is Timisha Malone, a Licensed Therapist located in New Hampshire, virtually serving clients. My education and life experiences stem from Child & Adolescent work, Grief/Hospice, Eating Disorders, Bariatric and more! I pride myself on meeting you where you are at in all walks of life. I look forward to the chance to chat with you!

I provide a safe and welcoming space for individuals and couples who are interested in working on their mental health and wellness. There are many reasons to reach out right now, and I look forward to accompanying you on your path to healing. I approach counseling from a humanistic therapeutic approach and use emotion-focused and mindfulness-based modalities. My goal is to form a genuine alliance with you to support you in this work. I focus on helping those who experience anxiety and depression, relationship and attachment issues, and trauma.

My approach to therapy is eclectic- with an effort to combine aspects of ACT, DBT, Narrative Therapy and Motivational Interviewing with creative modalities as they best serve you. I believe in therapy as a dual process- where you as the client are the expert in your own lived experience- and I serve to help guide you through the steps of change and provide new tools, strategies, and insights. Together we can identify goals, thought patterns, or behaviors that are not serving you, and engage in the development of coping mechanisms that you can utilize when feeling anxious, dysregulated, or triggered.

As a therapist, I endeavor to meet clients in the threshold moments of their lives - the in between of what was and what is to come. I have a particular interest in life span development and believe that we are all capable of growth and learning at every stage of life. I come to this work as a full-spectrum doula and hospice social worker. The combination of those roles gives me particular appreciation for how birth and death, light and dark, good and bad, old and young are often very entangled and caught up in each other. I'm here to hold the space of this tension in your life and help you walk through it to the other side.

My expertise ranges from traditional psychotherapy in an office setting or telehealth, counseling business executives at Employee Assistance Program, seafarer mental health in shipping, and a mental health counselor at a summer camp.

Semi-Retired (11/30/2022) - -- It is my belief that each of us can heal from emotional, physical and sexual trauma. In the presence of compassion, kindness and non-judgment, I listen to, and witness the suffering and profound pain shared during therapy. In therapy, the healing power of compassion; sense of being understood by and cared for by another human being is offered. Each of us has the same needs when we are suffering; to feel validated, safe and understood for the duration of our journey. In our work together, I will offer support, encouragement, and honesty, tempered with compassion.

Neuropsychological testing aims to evaluate cognitive and emotional functioning, provide appropriate diagnoses, and most importantly, to provide recommendations for further treatment. I believe strongly in helping individuals better understand themselves through identifying their strengths and providing them with individualized treatment recommendations based on their unique needs.
