Interpersonal Therapists in 04090

Currently, my primary work is with Individual Adults, in Kennebunk, Maine and Telehealth in Maine, Massachusetts and Florida. We all want to be happy. And many of us are happy much of the time as ordinary events pass through us without leaving a mark. And then, something happens and we're stuck. These events narrow our view of ourselves, our world and keep us from living to our full potential. Your problems affect who you are today and you want things to change. I can help you reduce what keeps you stuck so that you can move forward living your life in a more fulfilling and meaningful way.

Most people who visit a therapist know that there is something they want to change, but they may not know how. Sometimes feelings of anxiety or depression, problems with relationships, challenges at work, or other social difficulties are difficult to understand and resolve without help. In therapy, my goal is to help you foster greater self-understanding and develop strategies to live a more fulfilling life.

Addressing difficult issues and facing challenges and changes in one's life can be a very difficult process. I believe in taking a positive approach to this work and focusing on the strengths inherent in individuals, their families and other connections that serve in making this path easier.

Hi, I am a licensed Clinical Counselor and Family Therapist. I have over 35 years of experience working with children, teens, adults' couples and families. I continue to expand my learning and increase the skills that I bring to each session. I listen to what each client brings to the therapy and, in collaboration with them, I tailor the interventions to what seems best for that person, couple or family. My approaches include cognitive-behavioral (CBT), family systems, clinical hypnosis, and solution-focused therapy, along with and energy meditations and other holistic interventions.

I have worked as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker for over thirty years providing clinical counseling services to individuals, couples, families and groups. Much of my clinical work has been focused on eating disorders and assisting clients in exploring their relationship with food. I am a supporter of the Health at Every Size model and believe that self-compassion is at the foundation of all healing. I am certified as a Am I Hungry? TM Group Facilitator which utilizes principles of Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness techniques, which allows us to get back in touch with our internal cues for physical hunger and fullness.

Some of us struggle to live day to day and have stopped dreaming. Why is dreaming left to childhood? If you are searching for peace or to heal an invisible scar, you do not need to suffer or problem solve alone. I am a licensed clinical social worker whose passion for the past 30 years has been creating a safe space for the human experience that we all share. It has been my understanding that you may already have what you need and I have the privilege to be alongside you on that journey. Risks are scary but this may be a good one to take. I hope you reach out!

Your wellness matters! I believe in the power of each individual to face adversity and heal. If you are struggling with depression, grief, trauma/PTSD, anxiety, mood disturbances, and adjustment difficulties to the many transitions we make throughout our life span- I would be honored to help you on your wellness journey. I am skilled in a variety of therapy treatment modalities and tailor the use of these approaches and skills to each clients' unique needs. Your body and mind strive to move toward balance, healing and wellness, I like to assist my clients with this process as a collaborator in your wellness journey .

While the avenues of our lives seem very predictable, all too often that predictability falls to the way side. We summon the resources we know from our past. A feeling of being off balance, overwhelmed, misunderstood and at times alone can pressure our basic instincts. I am grateful to the individual who chooses to explore with me the answers they may already hold. The process of bringing concerns to the room and taking the time to look, study and explore individual needs and strengths begins the journey to self acceptance.

I am doing virtual appointments only. Being a therapist for over 20 years and as a person in long term recovery from alcohol and drugs I believe that when you transform yourself you transform your life. Whether it's a personal life crisis, addiction issues, or help communicating with a loved one, I can help guide you through the process and empower you to do the work needed to heal. My approach to the therapeutic relationship is that of a guide. Although I specialize in working with people with addictive behaviors, I also work with individuals dealing with anxiety, depression and other mental health issues.

I don't solve problems. What I do is work with clients and teach you how to problem solve!! And then we practice that skill together. No matter the age of my client nor the reason that brings them to my office, I want to be clear that this is a team approach. That having a neutral party to speak with; someone who will not judge but someone with whom you can share your concerns and issues can make all of the difference in the world in bringing about the changes that you desire.

Life is challenging and it just never stays the same! Sometimes we find ourselves in a rough patch where old patterns of behavior just don't work anymore but we don't know what else to do. I believe it's my job to help you find your way through to new answers and behaviors that serve you better. To me, the work of therapy is to find the courage within to change the things that you can, the acceptance to live with what you cannot and most importantly, to figure out which is which! I believe it is my role to help you find your way through this with compassion, humor and insight.

Are you struggling with sadness, anxiety or depression? Is communication a problem in your relationship? Have the wounds and hurt experienced as a child held you back? I have been practicing psychotherapy for over 20 years to adolescents and adults. I have worked in substance abuse treatment centers with dual-diagnosis clients, public school systems providing counseling to adolescents as well as their parents. I received my Masters Degree in Clinical Social Work at Barry University in Miami, Florida. Professional Certification in life and career coaching from University of New Hampshire,
