Maine Community Health Options Therapists in Brunswick, ME

I am a therapist with over 30 years of experience and am committed to working with clients to design and live their desired life. I see clients in person as well as offer telehealth sessions . I work with male, female, couples ages 18 to geriatric. I use traditional psychotherapy modalities but integrate humor, positive psychology and mindfulness. My goal is to help you find a solution and resolution to your issues, with empathy and understanding.

Creativity can be a powerful tool, and modality for expression. With my extensive experience and training in Expressive Therapies, I specialize in Art Therapy and Play Therapy to treat a variety of emotional and behavioral issues with children. In my practice I believe that everyone has the ability to be creative, and I work with clients to utilize their strengths in traditional and non-traditional treatment approaches to work towards goals. Through a trusting therapeutic rapport I work with clients to explore and address issues, so that they may access and obtain healthy growth and change.

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.

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 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.

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

Watching your child struggle can feel like watching your heart break outside of your body. Often, you see their strengths and spirit get covered by behaviors so that people can’t see the beautiful person they really are. In my practice, I want to get to know the heart of your child and bring it back to the surface. If you have a child age 4-10 who has autism, PTSD, attachment complications, anxiety, and depression; they may respond well to my treatment.

I'm a psychologist with specialized training in grief therapy and working with college students. My goal is to create a therapeutic space and relationship in which you feel safe and open to exploring past experiences, relationships, and identities that may be influencing the reasons you sought therapy. We will work together collaboratively as you move towards greater self-understanding, self-compassion, behavioral changes, and more fulfilling relationships.

If you are experiencing depression, relationship challenges, adjustment concerns, and/or difficulties coping with transition, please reach out for an appointment with me. I work with older adolescent and adult clients and I specialize in helping high-achieving college students and professionals who feel dissatisfied and are struggling with adjustment, identity, imposter syndrome and relationship challenges.

I have been a practicing psychotherapist for 30 years.I have worked in a variety of clinical settings,recently,working for NBC Universal Studios as a psychotherapist and production consultant. My areas of specialty are treating depression and anxiety issues,couples therapy and children/adults with ADD/ADHD. I work with men, women, adolescents, families and couples. I believe that the hardest part of changing your life, is finding the courage to make an initial phone call to a therapist. I welcome your phone call and the potential opportunity to work with you.

You’re experiencing a lot of doubt about yourself, your work, your relationships, your parenting- everything-but this isn't who you want to be. You can keep it at bay if you stay busy but come bedtime, your head hits the pillow, and your mind is racing and you’re wide awake because your anxiety caught you again! It is exhausting living with anxiety! I work with adults like you who experience a variety of anxiety related issues.

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.

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 really enjoy working with adolescents and adults on issues such as anxiety, depression, perinatal/postpartum depression/anxiety, grief and loss, trauma, life transitions, issues affecting teenage girls, and women's issues. My work is best described as relational and strengths based, with a focus on the use of mindfulness skills and the teaching of cognitive behavioral skills to assist in dealing with life's challenges. I feel that my job is to be a partner and support on your journey towards change. I look forward to talking with you!

I am currently doing telehealth appointments and office appointments. Are you or your child suffering from worry, sadness, or other concerns that you don't know how to deal with? Sometimes you just need a counselor in order to explore where these concerns are coming from and develop new ways to cope, handle or think about situations differently. I counsel adults, adolescents, and children ages 10-12 years old around a variety of concerns.

I believe in an individualized approach to counseling/therapy. People often contact me for help with relationships, depression, anxiety, stress management, grief/loss, and other life transitions. To me, each situation is unique. My being a good listener as well as offering a variety of "psychological tools" are both important. For example, tools might include new skills in communication such as better ways to handle conflict or manage difficult emotions like anger, sadness, fear, envy or guilt. Providing a safe, supportive and confidential place to discuss difficult issues is essential. I also believe strongly in building on people's strengths.

Even though you have a natural, built-in ability to heal and regain balance, extra support from therapy can boost resilience in difficult times. Whether change happens through personal choice or unexpected circumstances, I will help you explore, understand and integrate these life-transforming experiences. I take a holistic, mind-body approach in my work as a psychologist, and I will support you to heal and grow in ways that are most meaningful for you.

I work with adults (18+) to help relieve depression, anxiety, stress, challenges within relationships, grief, as well as challenges associated with life transitions, loss and adjustment. My consistent, caring and collaborative approach will help you gain insight and we will develop a plan to create fulfilling and lasting changes.

I believe that we all have an innate capacity for healing and growth. Therapy allows us to tune into our strengths and our inner resilience. My practice is rooted in a trauma-informed perspective where I strive to facilitate a safe and collaborative environment in which to explore healthier ways of being. I also believe that a relationship based on a foundation of trust is important so you feel comfortable to explore deeply personal issues, develop self-awareness, and embark on the process of personal growth.
