Therapists Beginning With K in Maine
I’m a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) who works with adults seeking deeper self-understanding, clarity, and meaningful growth. Many people come in feeling a pull toward exploring their inner world—even if they’re not sure where to start—and if that resonates, you’re welcome here. I especially enjoy supporting reflective and engaged individuals who want more than symptom management and appreciate a space for insight, creativity, and authentic expression.

Therapy is a journey toward healing at a time in your life when you may be seeking guidance, or consultation about how to make changes. The desire for this change may come from experiences created by choices from yourself, others or circumstances beyond your control. My approach views therapy not just as treatment, but as an essential journey across all aspects of life. In this process, I see my role as providing focused teaching, guidance, and expert consultation to help you gain insight, reprocess experiences, and build skills for lasting resilience and growth.

I create a supportive space for adoptees and individuals with complex or relational trauma to work through anxiety, depression, and relationship struggles while fostering healing and deeper self-understanding. Clients describe me as genuine, easy to talk to, and both validating and gently challenging. Together, we can put together the pieces of your story, helping you reconnect with your true self and build resilience. Through this process, you can create a life that feels truly aligned with your values, not just external expectations.

If you want to feel more connected to yourself and others, and more at peace with life, you are not alone. If your inner life feels chaotic or you are struggling with substance abuse, changing moods, fear, and hopelessness, you are not alone. Therapy can facilitate the freeing of inner resources, as we shed old ways of responding to the world and to ourselves. Asking for help and moving out of the comfort zone we are used to is difficult, but often occurs when the fear of staying where we are outweighs the fear and discomfort of change. This is a window of opportunity, as the most challenging times are times of growth.

In our hurried lives, we sometimes find ourselves feeling overwhelmed, disconnected from loved ones, or "stuck" and unsure about where we are headed. Some of us may even struggle with a past that continues to define our present. As a counselor, I strive to provide a safe, supportive environment promoting awareness, cultivating strengths, and encouraging lasting change. My clients frequently describe me as warm, genuine, non-judgmental, easy to talk to, insightful and motivating. My style draws upon an experience range including grief/hospice care, family/couple systems, group and individual treatment for clients with severe psychiatric diagnoses, and addiction.

I provide couples therapy from a systemic and humanistic approach that seeks to understand clients in the context of their relationship. I focus on identifying personal and relational patterns that clients find themselves repeating or feeling caught in. In learning about where these patterns may have originated and how they impact their relationships, I work with clients to become aware of and to challenge their own cycles, to find ownership and empowerment in creating new solutions, and to discover and maintain long-lasting change.

Using an integrated approach, I help clients create a toolbox of skills to use in times of distress, and provide a warm and supportive environment for self-exploration, growth and transformation.

A strong therapeutic alliance allows for me to get the best clinical understanding in order to help with meaningful change.

I understand myself in this role as a fellow traveler along the road who has devoted particular time and attention to learning the skills necessary to hold the kind of space that most effectively evokes the healing, release, and the profound wisdom that we all carry within. I work primarily with Internal Family Systems therapy. I believe this to be a particularly appropriate approach for our times as it is inherently a consent-based practice that moves precisely at the pace we are each ready for, and also creates space for touching the burdens we inherited intergenerationally/ancestrally.

Has regular in-office therapy felt uncomfortable or been ineffective for you or your child?
Animal-Assisted & Nature-Based Therapy blends elements of traditional therapy such as talking, processing experiences, and developing coping skills - but animals and nature-based activities can be incorporated into sessions to make the experience more laid back & comfortable.
This often helps people feel more relaxed, open up and develop connections quicker.
The skills learned while working in this setting and with our animal companions can then be applied to everyday life.

With 25 years experience, I have helped clients take a deeper, more insightful look at thought and behavioral patterns that hold them back from positive relationships, fulfilling careers, and a compassionate, worthy sense of self. Anxiety, depression, and other mental health challenges are often the result of suppressing our authentic voice because of fear of rejection, abandonment, and self-loathing. We rediscover our genuine, original self by leaning into our fear of rejection, letting go of false beliefs about self and developing beliefs and new behaviors that are more empowering and in line with who we really are.

Hi! My name is Katie Husted and I am a licensed clinical social worker who is honored to work with women in all walks of life. The general areas that I help in are: anxiety and depression, setting healthy boundaries, motherhood, work/life balance, getting "unstuck", and navigating relationships (friendships, family, romantic). More recently, I have focused on furthering my education and training in the perinatal and postpartum periods of motherhood. Since becoming a mother, as well as working with mothers, I am passionate about helping women feel supported in remaining true to themselves as they enter into this new role.
