Therapists in Brunswick, ME

So many of our issues today are related to relationships, past and present. Issues regarding abuse, and the stress of everyday life can make us feel overwhelmed. Managing emotional issues like anger, resentment, and emotional distance can be confusing. I believe that my friendly and knowledgeable approach to my clients enables new insights, and behaviors that improve people's lives. I invite you to call me for an appointment soon.

I can help you and your family cope with difficult issues like divorce, separation, and other challenges that may be a source of pain and suffering. My years of experience have taught me how to help individuals who are living with depression, or anxiety, and who may be struggling to find healthier ways of coping with distress. I believe therapy can be a profoundly rewarding experience that can enable growth, happiness and healing. This is truly important work. My goal is to support my clients, and help them develop the courage to deal with their problems. I welcome you.

In my calm, safe, confidential office, I am currently offering HIPAA secure Online video sessions using a HIPPA-compliant secure platform or phone consultations. We integrate CDC guidelines for COVID-19 for any inperson sessions. My 25 years of clinical experience have taught me about the courage those facing complex life difficulties bring to psychotherapy. Adults, children and adolescents are given help finding solutions. Mindfulness techniques which I have discovered the value of through a 25+ year meditation practice are also of benefit to clients who are looking to make life changes.

At present, my practice is limited to men and women in the law enforcement community and their families.

Most of us develop ways of seeing and engaging the world through 'habits of mind' which may create suffering, lead to anxieties, depression, negative self image, or unsatisfying relationships. Sometimes suffering emerges because of a particular stress in our lives; sometimes it has been a long unwanted companion we can't shake. With guidance and personal effort, we can discover and gradually free ourselves from self-defeating habits of mind. Individuals who may especially benefit from my approach are those who would glimpse beneath the surface of temporary symptoms to the enduring habits of mind which get in our way.

My goal as your counselor is to provide a safe and caring environment to help you adjust to the changes that you want to explore making in your life.

There are as many different kinds of struggles as there are people. That said, counseling can be a place to sort out confusion, find fresh perspectives, and re-energize yourself to tackle the ups and downs of your life and feel good about your actions. It's something we all can benefit from at different points in our lives. I work with teenagers, adults, and elders. My work includes couples counseling, individual counseling, and family counseling, as well as work focused on employment issues and men's issues.

I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor with over 25 years experience, providing treatment for children, adolescents, families and adults.

First of all, I view all my clients' presenting issues as unhealthy yet normal adjustments to life problems. These adjustments have become problematic and created symptoms in the individual and in relationships. My goal is threefold: "stop the bleeding," seek healthier adjustments and, ultimately, to build a quality life of contentment and satisfaction. My orientation is existential and cognitive behavioral, with a specialty in clinical hypnosis and its many valuable applications.

I offer individual counseling to adults and adolescents ages 16 and over. My approach is a combination of cognitive-behavioral (actively working on changing ones thoughts and behaviors) and therapeutic mindfulness (learning to experience difficulties with awareness and self-compassion rather than judgment and avoidance). I place a strong emphasis on building communication and coping skills that can be used again and again in challenging situations. I have experience treating anxiety disorders, depression, trauma, self-harming behaviors, and counseling around life transitions and family concerns.

I use a combination of therapeutic interventions to best address the needs of each specific client. My approach with clients is trauma-informed and client-centered with an emphasis on developing strengths and improving adaptive responses. I specialize in working with clients of all ages with complex trauma, attachment difficulties, family conflict, life transitions and other behavioral and mental health challenges. I also provide EMDR focused trauma treatment.

My approach to counseling recognizes the uniqueness of each individual. I have experience working with folks 18-80 dealing with trauma, anxiety, depression, relationships, health concerns, grief,and other major life transitions. My practice focuses on deep inner work that encourages self-awareness and a feeling relationship with the body. This work is facilitated by a strong and trusting client/counselor relationship based on warmth and non-judgment. You will gain insight into feelings, learn to understand behavior and reduce emotional suffering so that your changes are positive and lasting. One opening available now, waiting list

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.

It's certainly not easy to keep all the "plates spinning" all the time, is it? We all get discouraged, distracted or thrown off track sometimes, especially when we have big changes happening. Counseling can help you learn new strategies to stay focused on what's important. I work with adults who experience depression, anxiety, relationship stress, and changes that come with age. I primarily provide in-person counseling, but also offer telehealth in some circumstances.

Are you searching for purpose and meaning in your life? Often we feel stuck and don't know how to move forward. This is often accompanied by generalized anxiety, depression, relationship problems, and hopelessness.

I have been in the psychotherapy field for over 25 years working with people who stuggle with addictions, infertility, adoption, depression and anxiety. I work with individuals, couples, families and groups. I am down to earth and easy to talk with. I'm an active participant in the cleint's process of self discovery and movement towards health.

With a wide array of professional experiences, I have found my passion to be working individually with others to help them overcome challenges in their life. I believe in working together to find ways to better manage and deal with the struggles of life that we all go through.

Currently accepting new clients. I specialize in working with a range of clients dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, family adjustment, life changes and pre/postpartum depression/anxiety. I hope to provide a safe and supportive environment where a client may work towards feeling they are in a more positive emotional and mental place. Utilizing a collaborative approach allows an individual to feel less alone and more supported, setting them up on a more successful path. Currently the services provided are for adults and adolescents.
