Chronic Illness Therapists in Falmouth, ME

I help children and their families to develop a stronger sense of connection and confidence within themselves and with one another. We can work together to help you and/or your child or teen develop greater awareness of your emotions, thoughts and beliefs and develop the skills to communicate and manage them more easily together.

I am currently accepting new clients. As a clinical psychologist, I offer an insight-oriented, collaborative approach to help people effectively cope with major life transitions, new medical diagnoses, anxiety, depression, significant health issues, sleep disturbances, grief, loss and trauma. I bring empathy, understanding and expertise into every session, and I am deeply committed to helping people who feel “stuck” and who want to adjust to new life circumstances.

It’s important to feel comfortable coming to therapy just as you are. Many of us experience major life changes, challenging relationships, grief, guilt, anxiety, or trauma reactions, that cause us to feel self-doubt, to feel disconnected from our needs and bodies, and to even minimize our own experiences. My approach, which is intersectional, developmentally focused, and trauma-informed, helps you tap into the knowledge your body and emotions have for you, while developing skills so these feelings don’t overwhelm and take center stage. I have current openings for EMDR, new parents with perinatal mood disorders, and LGBTQ folks.

Now accepting AETNA insurance! Let’s get to the bottom of what takes your attention away from the people and things that you love. My goal as a therapist is to collaborate to give you the insight and tools needed to reach your goals. With almost a decade of experience working with clients experiencing trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and life changes – I am confident psychotherapy can prompt us to discover new ways to deal with life’s difficult days.

Are you seeking a seasoned, compassionate psychotherapist to help you become the version of yourself you yearn to be? I have found that very often the crisis which is the motivation to seek deep responsive listening of therapy is a profound opportunity for a transformational experience. I am a psychologist, coach, yoga and meditation teacher with nearly 40 years of experience in private practice and educational settings. I offer psychotherapy to adolescents, adults, couples, and families who are struggling with a wide range of issues including depression, anxiety, physical illness, sleep disorders, and marital challenges.

I believe in an integrative and holistic approach to help clients find balance in their daily lives. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma or other challenges in your life, it is possible to work through it with someone who can offer skillful support and guidance. The goal that people say they most want; is to feel better, or that they want things to be different. It is possible for healing to occur and to work on issues that are hard to deal with in the right space. Change is possible and attainable.

My practice is designed to work with people who feel overwhelmed or "stuck" in their current life situation. I begin with the understanding that everyone has struggles from time to time with primary relationships, work situations, financial stressors, unforeseen change of life circumstances or unresolved grief and loss. Common effects are anxiety, unexplained depression or loss of confidence. When these effects spill over into other areas of function, affecting sleep, clear thinking or enjoyment of regular activities, it is time to do some therapeutic "work" to put things in perspective and be able to move forward.

Hello, thank you for taking time to be here. Therapy is an investment in time, personal commitment, and money. My practice has shifted since COVID to seeing less people, for 60 to 90 minutes, and not accepting insurance. Hakomi, Mindfulness, Somatic Psychology, CBT and other modalities are part of the support provided as people move through grief (death, terminal illness, divorce...); healing past trauma, re-surfacing or ready to liberate from, the lies they embed in our narratives; and reclaiming the day to day wakefulness of being. Anxiety, depression, problems at the macro level, benefit from mindfulness and action, and therapy.

Are you struggling with grief over losses, relationship issues, setting boundaries, anxiety, depression, parenting, etc.? I am trained to help with emotional, psychological and faith issues (if they are relevant to you), with no interest in "converting" anyone to any particular faith. I offer compassionate, non-judgmental help, grateful for the opportunity to accompany you on your journey of healing, self-growth. I have been offering Telehealth sessions (audio or video, your choice) for adults 21+ since completing specific training during the pandemic. Please visit my website at www.WeFlySolo.com for more info about my practice.

I am a clinical social worker licensed in both the state of CT and ME. I specialize in supporting professionals who are dealing with anxiety by facilitating a process of self-compassionate curiosity to increase awareness and insight around the origin of their anxiety and how it may be impacting them in their lives. I help clients identify and implement coping skills that work for them and their unique needs so that they may feel more connected with and confident in their authentic self.

I have immediate openings for individual, family therapy, and couples counseling. I am an expert in attachment trauma and use this frame to address parenting challenges and fractured families. I am also an expert in the diagnosis and treatment of personality disorders. I work with my patients to understand what lead to their challenges and create a plan to address their unique needs. I use Mentalization Based Therapy techniques, in addition to other modalities for treatment. Please visit my practice: The Coastal Institute for Psychodynamic Training & Treatment at www.thecoastalinstitute.org

Happiness and inner peace are attainable if you wish to strengthen these areas of your life. Spending time addressing personal growth through therapy is a worthwhile investment in yourself and ultimately those you love. My approach to therapeutic work is based in a strengths-based, whole-person perspective. The clients I work with experience profound life changes and find that our time together builds personal resilience, life clarity and coping skills. My perspective is one of hope and compassion for the struggles in life that we all face as human beings.

As a Clinical Psychologist, I listen with an unconditional ear to the needs of each person I work with. I engage with people who are experiencing emotional pain, sadness, and worry, as well as those who are facing grief, life changes, relationship problems, a history of trauma, and people who are having difficulty adapting to a new medical diagnosis or a chronic medical condition. In my experience, growth means finding a way to become unstuck from a place of discomfort, and moving forward with confidence into personal development.

You may be blocked or feeling helpless, stuck or at a loss for how to cope. You may be unsure where to begin or how to continue in your journey with more joy, meaning and purpose. I focus on your strengths and believe in the inherent wisdom each person has. I combine my life experience and clinical training. My specialties include helping people to navigate grief, PTSD, trauma, anxiety, life transitions, problematic substance use, depression, and spiritual conflicts. I will journey with you nonjudgmentally to help you identify and work on your goals. I will model, facilitate, and help you discover new ways of coping, and behaving.

My desire is to create a safe relationship, where you feel that your experience is understood and accepted. We can explore old experiences and identify new experiences that you would like to have. I am trained and skilled in providing therapy in settings such as groups, couples, families and individuals, which include but are not limited to children, adolescents and adults. The outcome of therapy cannot be guaranteed, but honesty will increase the likelihood of having a successful experience.

I am a strength based therapist and have been in practice for over 12 years. It is my belief that each of us possess unique and special gifts, aspects of our true selves, that allow for us to healthfully manage difficult and painful circumstances. Depression, anxiety, grief/loss, low self-esteem, relationship issues often dull our light and impede our ability to access the gifts we inherently possess. Through an integrative approach that utilizes aspects of psychodynamic therapy, mindfulness, cognitive behavioral therapy, parts work and a dash of mysticism, it is my honor to witness as you gain insight into your own sacred self.

Life is a maze of ups and downs, we are taught to push away the downs and "keep moving" without acknowledging our true feelings and needs. Before you know it, fear, anxiety, trauma, depression, self doubt begin to take over and guide our decision making process. Your truth, who you are, and what you want starts to get lost, life becomes exhausting, unsatisfying and lonely. How might it feel to safely explore and validate your emotions and needs? Deepen your understanding of who you are and how you function through exposure to thoughts, feelings and behaviors that take over and create dysfunction in your life.

Hello and welcome! Please note that I have a wait list at this time. My experience is with all ages and, in therapy, you can expect a nonjudgmental environment tailored to your personality, situation, & needs. I take a collaborative approach and invite you to sit in the driver’s seat of your counseling experience; you are the expert in your life and it is likely that I have resources, strategies, and insight to offer from the passenger seat that will help you find the healing and wellness that you deserve. We will use therapeutic modalities that are accessible and supportive for you.
