Therapists in Maine

In my work with individuals and couples, I engage in each therapeutic relationship with a warm, reflective, and grounding presence. I believe firmly in the worthiness of all to a sense of belonging, dignity, and agency and have witnessed time and again how therapy can be a powerful tool in accessing these needs. Being heard and understood within a supportive therapy environment allows us to both uncover our innate strengths and cultivate the skills and insight necessary to reduce suffering. Regardless of how ingrained and automatic our patterns might be and how stuck we might feel, a more peaceful life is possible for each of us.

Life is filled with surprises and challenges. Sometimes it can seem overwhelming. Talking to a professional can help you and those you care about find new options. I have experience working with a range of issues including depression, anxiety, addiction, trauma, family problems, couples' problems, life transitions, questions of sexual and gender identity, and concerns related to health issues, death, and dying.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I provide solution focused couples counseling and individual therapy to clients who are struggling with relationship issues, life transitions, and finding meaning and fulfillment in their lives. Whether you are needing short or long-term therapy, my goal is to help you develop ways to take care of yourself and your relationships. If you are wanting to make progress in couples therapy and feel some immediate relief, I provide weekly or biweekly 60 or 75 minute sessions to help move through whatever issues you may be struggling with.

We all experience challenges during our everyday lives. Sometimes these challenges can seem overwhelming and discouraging. I work with people who want to make changes in their lives to help themselves overcome these difficult experiences. These changes can often be difficult to contemplate, yet alone act on. I strive to create a supportive environment for my clients where they can explore their concerns and the emotions that arise.

Looking within oneself to fully understand your situation is the best way to move forward, because it helps you develop a comprehensive plan and manageable, achievable goals. I am a licensed clinical social worker with more than 15 years of experience working with couples, families, adolescents, adults, and children. I graduated from Simmons College of Social Work with a master's degree, and enthusiastically work to help my clients make lasting, visible changes. Together, we can uncover new ways to make meaningful change, by identifying weaknesses and strengths and developing a plan.

Starting therapy can be the first step in making meaningful change in your life. You may be seeking therapy to explore a problem, change a pattern, recover from depression or anxiety, or improve relationships with others. Perhaps you are struggling with food or body image. If you are questioning your sexual orientation, coming out, and/or navigating gender identity, therapy should be a space where you feel seen and understood. Whatever your situation, it is possible to gain insight, solve problems, feel better, and be the best version of you.

I am Licensed Clinical Social Worker located in New Orleans, LA. I am licensed and able to see Maine residents for therapy virtually as well. Working from a trauma-informed lens, I work to facilitate a collaborative and empowering approach to counseling. My theoretical approach stems from a radical social justice paradigm with the incorporation of liberation-based healing practices, expressive arts therapy, feminist, and relational-cultural theory. I work with both individuals and couples, offering a supportive space for personal and relational growth.

Taking the first step toward feeling more empowered, at ease or centered in your life is a brave one. I am here to walk alongside you as we identify your goals and work together to achieve them. I am a Clinical Social Worker with over 28 years of clinical experience and am licensed to practice in Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Michigan, Vermont and Maine. My practice focus is in the provision of care to adults and couples, with particular emphasis on serving the LGBTQIA+ community, those navigating transition and poly/cnm relationships. I have an office located in Westford but use a telehealth platform for most visits.

I work with all age groups in individual, couples, and family therapy. I am trained in Functional Family Therapy which focuses on observing and breaking conflict cycles that are no longer serving you or your relationships. I am also trained as a Gottman level 2 therapist which I utilize in my couples work. My relational approach translates well for all ages and for a range of presenting concerns for treatment. My particular areas of specialty are working with adolescents, couples, and adult women. Modalities often used in my sessions include CBT, ARC, Attachment Theory, ACT, FFT, and Gottman Methods.

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.

Hello and Welcome! Currently offering Telehealth and in-community sessions for MaineCare clients, I specialize in techniques that focus on the health of the relationships between people. I utilize Relational and Narrative Therapy; where you are the expert of your life and together we reframe difficult or troubling experiences. The practice of relational therapy views the mental health of an individual as often being based on, or at least greatly affected by the quality of relationships (family, romantic, friendship, colleagues, neighbors, etc.) in a person's life.

I bring empathy, kindness, and a wealth of life experience into any conversation you and I might have about the difficulties you're facing. My extensive clinical training and professional experience is part of the well of care I offer; I can help you with coming to terms with anxiety, grief, depression, and shame, as well as supporting you through challenges in relationships, major life transitions, loss and illness. Any issue to do with adoption is completely familiar to me from my years as an active social worker.

Now accepting clients for issues of depression, anxiety, trauma or relationship difficulties. It takes courage and commitment to begin treatment and challenge long standing patterns. Those who do, find the rewards great, including enhanced self-awareness, compassion, and self acceptance. We will explore together the unique struggles that hold you down or hold you back.

I am a warm and empathetic clinician who is passionate about combining the groundbreaking treatments of EMDR and Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP)!

If you're looking for a space to work through the complexities of life with a non-judgmental ear and gentle patience, I'd be happy to help. I specialize in trauma, attachment, relationships, communication, identity/authenticity, PTSD, life transitions, and codependency. While these are my areas of interest, it is my goal to help navigate whatever comes up.

As a parent, partner, former teacher and business owner, I understand the pressures of modern life. In 2022, I begin my twelfth year in the emotional health field in Southern Maine and now, perhaps more than ever before; quality compassionate care is needed. I recently completed an extensive training in EMDR in order to provide the best model of research proven treatment with the most sustainable results. I constantly strive to provide personally tailored care that specifically addresses an individuals goals and empowers them to achieve a higher quality of life.

My role in the therapeutic relationship is to help guide individuals to what their bodies and brains already know though may not be able to access just yet. I aim to provide insight that can disrupt the now-unhelpful routines and habits that may keep you stuck or pull you down. This is an alliance. You bring all that you are and all that you know about yourself while I guide how to move through some of the harder parts. Together, we can find the path for you to see that you are a pretty amazing human being who deserves to feel comfortable in your own skin and are worthy of compassion.

As a therapist with over 20 years of experience, my goal is to help you live a more fulfilling life. Together, we will examine what is not working, challenge thoughts and beliefs that are unproductive and create a plan for change. As we work together, you will find new ways of coping and begin challenging thoughts, behaviors and feelings that no longer serve you.
