Jeannin Thibodeau, LCSW at Forest Light Psychotherapy - Accepting new clients. Im a Licensed therapist in Maine and Florida, I've professionally counseled individuals full-time since 2013.

It is natural to seek support when we feel overwhelmed, confused, fearful or depressed.The therapeutic process offers us the opportunity to build on skills that we already have in order to find relief, hope and healing. My work combines practices of narrative therapy (examining the beliefs we have about ourselves), cognitive behavioral work (paying attention to our thoughts), expressive therapy (healing through art and writing) and mindfulness exercises.

We live in a complex world. Many of us can feel overwhelmed by the layers of stressors and demands upon us. While I do not possess the answers, I have strength in asking appropriate, pertinent questions, as well as opening the exploration of aspects of oneself that may be hidden from view. I work hard and ask the client to do the same. Through relationship we build safety and respect. This permits the bravery it takes to enter into the psychotherapeutic process. Ultimately, it is here that change can occur.

Hello! I'm Lisa DiGiovanni, a licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and I would like to welcome you to my counseling and therapy practice. *I strive to provide a mindful and inviting safe place for all who need to work through life experiences and transitions. *I strive to hold the space for YOU to have awareness, understanding and healing from any trauma, stressors or disappointments along your journey. *Together, as equals we will discover strategies and solutions to create growth and fulfillment for you.

I work with both individuals and couples, helping people to heal from the effects of former or current destructive relationships, restore their sense of trust in themselves, and help them to experience more safety, connection and satisfaction in their lives. Even in the most painful of relationship dynamics (whether with yourself, a partner, a family member, professional relationship, etc.), there is a seed of opportunity for change for the better. Only one person has to shift in order for the entire dynamic to change.

Her approach to counseling integrates classical therapeutic approaches, mindfulness and artistic modalities. Colleen believes strongly that any therapeutic relationship in which the therapist is held up as an expert is innately flawed. You are the expert on you.

I am a relational therapist working with individuals, couples, and those in non-traditional relationships. Seeking support from psychotherapy is a sign of inner strength and hope, even when it feels as if ones world has turned inside-out. Life rarely allows any of us a free pass; births and deaths, personal crises, relationship troubles, childhood trauma, etc. may meet any one of us head-on at sometime during our lives. Seeking help from psychotherapy is a worthwhile path to take when ways of coping no longer seem effective. I nurture the possibility of deeper understanding and self-knowledge by creatively engaging the whole person.
