Therapists Beginning With H in Maine

A safe atmosphere is free of judgement, shame and oversimplified advice. It’s a space that puts curious listening first and foremost, and it’s a space that gives you, the client, the room you need to speak with a liberating candor.

Hello, My name is Josh Hagar. I am a multi-licensed Mental Health Counselor (ME & NH) and Master's Level - Licensed Drug & Alcohol Counselor (NH) committed to helping those in need learn how to identify unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. My work focuses on a progress based approach utilizing interventions that fit your specific needs. I believe in taking a collaborative path to helping clients reach their goals. I’m passionate about working with diverse clientele. My specialties include extensive work with addiction/alcoholism treatment, family issues, LGBTQIA+ challenges, and co-occurring disorders.

I have been working with children, preteens, teens, and adults for over 25 years. My areas of expertise include working with youth and adults with anxiety, low self-esteem, poor coping skills, as well as life transitions, family conflicts and parenting challenges. My root philosophy is cognitive-behaviorally based (our thoughts & behaviors are connected and affect each other). I use an eclectic approach using tools from a wide range of theories. I'm committed to treating the whole person and not just a diagnosis or label.

I am non-binary, polyamorous, and pansexual and love providing support to people in the LGBTQ+ community. I love working with children and teenagers, but have no specific age restrictions on my practice. I'm seeking clients who need to explore their emotions, experiences, and behaviors in an expressive way. Talking only gets us so far, whereas in my experience, use of the Expressive Arts (dance, drama, music, art, and writing) has an ability to get at the deeper stuff.

Congratulations on taking the first step towards therapy. Whether you are new to therapy or not, I like to say that therapy is for everyone. We all benefit when we diversify our support system. Therapy can help us see more clearly ourselves, our relationships and can help us to access our innate strengths. I am honored to help in your journey as you work towards health and the life you want to be living.

I believe in person centered treatment, harm reduction and meeting people where they are at. I have years of experience working with a variety of issues including Opioid addiction, alcoholism, and poly substance use. I offer a non-judgmental setting and do not require abstinence approach. Treatment is at the pace and structure that the client prefers. Reaching out for help is difficult and I welcome those who make that first step towards recovery. I offer telehealth, sliding fee scales, affordable pricing & accept Mainecare.

If you are an LEO or a first responder and are experiencing the negative effects of past and/or recent trauma, or complicated grief, I encourage you to reach out for support.

Life can be complicated and difficult. I value understanding that you are a unique individual with a wide array of life experiences, both good and bad, that influence your mental health. Using this approach, I will tailor your counseling experience to meet your needs by utilizing techniques from a variety of evidence-based methods that best fit you and your circumstances. I've also been fully trained in using EMDR via telehealth, enabling you to get the same experience of an in-person session in the safety and security of your own environment.

Welcome. The "OLD NORMAL" is gone. The "NEW NORMAL" is what is. Let me help you to re-invent your NEW, NEW NORMAL. Life is a gift. Everyone is special in their own way. I assist individuals by helping them to realize what their positive attributes and potential abilities are within and assist obtaining their goals in life. I believe that It's not the lessons we are given in life that count. It's the way that we handle these challenges that are important. As a result, my clients receive tools of wellness to help them to live in optimal wellness. I am eclectic. Free phone consult to determine if I am a good fit to meet your needs.

I provide confidential care in a professional environment. My services include mental health treatment and marriage/couples counseling. In mental health, I utilize both an interpersonal and cognitive behavioral approach to mood disorders (which includes both moderate and severe depression, as well as bipolar disorder). I treat anxiety disorders with the use of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and exposure response prevention (ERP) techniques. I also provide services to couples utilizing components of structural, strategic and communications models for my work.

As a Certified Career Counselor and Licensed Professional Counselor, I'm here to help you discover a career that energizes, fulfills, and inspires you. You've got a lot of great things going on in your life, but lately it feels like something important is missing. You give so much to your career, your relationships, and your family. You're doing your best to manage it all, but you feel like you're running on empty. Some days leave you feeling completely overwhelmed, anxious, burnt-out, or unclear about whether you're on the right career and life path. You know there's more out there for you, but you're not sure where to start.
