Depression Therapists in East Wilton, ME

1. Life is hard. 2. Everything Changes. 3. There is an ever-fluctuating flow of experience. -3 Basic Truths from Buddha Can you imagine having a trained professional support and guide you through the ups and downs of life? I see myself as a skills-based teacher that will support and encourage you to “create a life worth living (-Marsha Linehan).” Anxiety, depression, mood dysregulation, and feeling stuck can hinder us in our journey to be the best versions of ourselves.

I enjoy working with people to help them reach their potential in life. Many people live through difficult experiences which tend to negatively impact them and stunt their ability to move forward. My goal is to help you overcome these obstacles to help you flourish. Whether it is anxiety, depression, anger or fear, I will work on determining what the underlying cause of the distress is. Counseling does not have to be long term. Many of my clients have had success over a short period of time in counseling while others have needed long term support.

I have been a professional counselor for 3 decades specializing in mental-emotional rebalancing with respect to depression,anxiety and matters of personal identity. I also do well with addicion treatment, which can range from food to alcohol and drugs to the adrenalin associated with anger.

I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker. I work with an array of clients ranging from medically fragile individuals to adolescents with disordered eating.

I believe every person has tremendous capacity to know and heal themselves, though sometimes we need support and guidance on that journey. My practice is focused on helping those who suffer with anxiety, depression, difficult life transitions, traumatic experiences, and a sense of being stuck in patterns that do not serve them. Together we can work toward bringing awareness and understanding to the ways in which you lack access to the self you want to be. Utilizing an eclectic and person-centered approach, I will help you transform your inner and outer obstacles into experiences that foster growth and positive change.

My mission is to guide you from simply 'getting by' to reconnecting with life and yourself while grieving a loss. If you are dealing with anxiety, we will release the grip of obsessive negative thinking, allowing you to experience the freedom of simply 'being' once again. As a Trauma-Informed, CBT, and Person-Centered Therapist, I will use compassionate support and personalized therapeutic techniques to navigate your current challenges and suffering, working together to forge a path towards your unique vision of peace and contentment.

"I have walked through many lives, some of them my own, and I am not who I was, though some principle of being abides, from which I struggle not to stray." These lines, from "The Layers", by Stanley Kunitz, hint at the themes we will explore if you decide to enter psychotherapy with me: Who have you been, and who are you now? What principle of being has shaped your life's journey thus far? Where and when did you disregard this principle? And how may I support you in your effort to recognize and honor your most authentic self?

Welcome! Sometimes we need support navigating tough times, processing past experiences or unpacking life stressors. Our thoughts alone can be extremely overwhelming at times. My therapeutic approach is genuine, interactive, direct, and easy-going with a mix of humor.

We are each gifted... We are each wounded... Nobody escapes the extraordinary challenges of being human. What is it that is precious about my clients?

Within our journey lies the revelation of your most empowered Self. I've raised three children in the wilds of Maine and trekked in remote cultures and wildernesses around the world; yet it is within us that lies the greatest wilderness... its adversities, challenges, and wonders to behold.

We all face challenges in our lives. When these challenges become difficult to navigate they often create personal, interpersonal, and emotional imbalances.

Are you feeling lost and disconnected? Is your heart hurting and you don’t know where to turn? Are you looking to find alignment and a sense of peace? Feeling lonely whether you are isolated or in a room full of loved ones is debilitating. It takes away our sense of purpose and direction. Connection comes in many forms and how we connect is very dependent on our own needs. Sadly, loneliness is a global affliction, that can’t always be seen by those around us. Disconnection can lead to feelings of worthlessness, overthinking, and depression that take not only a toll on our mind but also our body.

Are you already at that spot in life where you are ready to change something? Let's go there.
