Therapists Beginning With L in Maine

Hello. I am not presently taking new clients. I welcome the opportunity to work with you, to partner with you in this journey of exploration and potential change. Therapy can change you and change means moving away from old paths, exploring different ideas about how you want your life to be, transforming your life into what you want it to be, telling your story and creating a new ending. Therapy is a process of reflection on the idea that you thought nothing could change in your life, your world. Our combined presence in each other's life offers chances to think outside the box, use your talents to recreate yourself.

I offer a compassionate, listening ear to adolescents and adults dealing with depression, anxiety, marital or family conflict, and various emotional/relational difficulties. I also offer career counseling. We choose modes of help best suited to your particular problem and personality.

My approach is all about cultivating a strong and trusting therapeutic relationship between my patients and me. I bring to therapy my years of experience working in special education, developmental therapy, restorative justice, and community mental health as well as my work as a financial counselor. My decade of studying and practicing Ayurveda deeply influences my understanding of individual constitutions and my approach to holistic healing. I work with individuals and couples from ages 16 years and up.

I offer free brief initial consultations as I believe that finding a good fit with a clinician is the key to a successful therapeutic relationship. Some tools I use are honesty, humor, compassion, consistency, & positivity. I often say that I can find the silver lining in any situation; I work to share this gift with people. The world is ever-changing and lately it seems to be changing so quickly that we can hardly keep up. I am here to be a sounding board for you through life's transitions, as you balance your family and personal goals, or as you work on creating the best version of yourself. Life is messy; let's tackle it w/humor.

I am a clinician working on Telehealth to clients anywhere in Maine. I have 55 years experience and specialize in trauma related issues, dissociative disorders, marital issues, and the treatment of PTSD in first responders. I address end of life issues as well. I am trained in a broad range of approaches and have a flexible schedule to accommodate to your's. My first session is a free consultation to see if it's a good fit; if you decide to continue, I will bill for the first session. I accept Medicare, Anthem, Martin's Point, and also have a sliding fee scale. I am trained in EMDR as well as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.

I work with women and young adults who have experienced trauma, are struggling with gender role challenges, or faith related issues. I also work with clients around family planning, including clients who want childfree lifestyles, those experiencing fertility challenges, and clients struggling to decide whether to keep or terminate pregnancy. I help clients feel empowered to make choices based on what they want, whether that aligns with social expectations or is in opposition to societal norms.

Now accepting new clients with no waiting list! Are you struggling with depression, anxiety, stress? Using substances in order to cope? Let me help! I have been in practice since 2008 helping individuals learn ways of coping with the stressors of life. I offer a personalized, compassionate connection in therapy to ensure that you feel comfortable and have trust in the process to wellness and recovery. We will work together to discover your strengths and learn new coping strategies.

*** Currently utilizing a wait list. No immediate openings available*** Thank you for considering working with me as you take this step in a new direction. My goal is to provide an overall atmosphere where you feel comfortable and welcomed. There is no pressure to share anything you are not ready to. I offer my presence with unconditional positive regard and provide an environment where you can process and explore your feelings and emotions at your own pace. You are empowered to take charge as I assist you in navigating your journey.

I have 30+ years of experience providing counseling to children, adolescents, adults, couples, and groups. I offer effective tools for managing anxiety and depression, and I have extensive experience helping families with substance abuse, separation/divorce issues and co-parenting, codependency, and self esteem issues. I provide compassionate and empowering assistance to those in pain. With children, I have much experience treating ADHD, social anxiety, and behavioral issues. My current group focuses on Women's Codependency recovery issues. I also have expertise in gender identity issues and work with the LGBTQ+ community.

Are you having a problem with alcohol? Cannot stop using drugs? Struggling with a negative attitude? Have racing thoughts? Worry about everything? Just plain feeling down in the dumps, hopeless even? Maybe it is time to make a change. Maybe it is time to stop bottling up and stuffing those negative emotions. Maybe it is time to stop avoiding all your problems and letting them build up. It is time to take control of your life. At this time, I am not taking new referrals. I gladly accept Mainecare, as well as other insurances.

If you are browsing this website you are likely here because some aspect of your life is not working or you experience conflict that burdens your daily functioning. I am a seasoned Licensed Clinical Social Worker who specializes in working with Adolescents, Individuals and Couples. My goal is to support my clients through times of stress and conflict and explore new pathways that could lead to lasting changes in their lives.

My practice focuses on maternal mental health and perinatal mood disorders (PMADs), including postpartum depression and anxiety. In addition to nearly ten years experience working in a variety of social work settings, including schools and hospitals, I have completed Postpartum Support International's course specific to support for PMADs. I collaborate closely with local midwives and community programs to assist women in building support and community during pregnancy and after birth. ** At this time I am ONLY taking clients who are pregnant or recently postpartum**

Consider what it would be like to live without self-doubt and less worry. Consider enjoying a moment for the experience instead of re-visiting experiences over and over in your mind by allowing your thoughts to spin stories that often begin with "what if . . ." or "I should have . . ." The role of a therapist is not to be in the middle of troubles and is not about giving advice or telling someone what to do. However, many people feel that once they have a trusted "neutral" person to speak their stories to then they have begun the process of healing.

**Accepting New clients now to begin in April 2022** 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.

**Please note that my practice is full at this time.** I specialize in working with high school age teens and adult women, using warmth and humor to build authentic connection. If anxiety and sadness are interfering with your life and relationships, you're battling an intrusive inner critic, or having a hard time finding your voice or direction, I can help. A supportive, non-biased therapeutic relationship is a major key in achieving positive change!

When we have a safe, supportive space to explore our feelings, beliefs and experiences, we can raise awareness of our habits and tendencies and understand the purposes they serve. With awareness and compassion, we become empowered to practice mindful, positive decision-making. My passion is in working with teens and adults who have encountered trauma, anxiety, depression, relational challenges, low self-esteem, outbursts, life transitions and/or identity exploration.

Hey there, I’m Maddie (she/her). I believe in the inherent ability of people to grow, succeed, and heal given the right tools and appropriate levels of support--no matter where you are in life. Whether we are meeting to discuss difficult emotions or experiences, transitions, relationships, or the stressors of day to day life, I strive to create a safe and comfortable space for folks to feel seen, heard, and supported. I work from a strengths-based and trauma-informed perspective to help people celebrate their individuality while addressing the challenges they are facing.

Relationships can be a source of comfort and companionship or of disappointment and sorrow. Every family is unique and can be in the highs or lows of their growing cycles. I look for strengths, sources of resilience, and dreams. We will track the effects each member of the family has on another and ways to improve compassion for each other. I look forward to hearing about your meaningful relationships.

Welcome to my practice. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker providing individual telehealth (video and audio) services for children, adolescents, and adults. I utilize a HIPPA compliant platform so you can meet with me in the comfortability of your own private/confidential space. Life has been really hard lately for us all. Are you struggling navigating life in an era of a global pandemic? Are you dealing with work, life, or family stress? I am able to work with all kinds of trauma (big and small), as well as issues of depression, anxiety, divorce/separation, infertility, and more.

Do you feel overwhelmed and frustrated trying to juggle the demands of family, work and relationships? Do you lack confidence and a sense of meaningful purpose in your life? I work with people to relieve stress, boost confidence, achieve clarity, and find fulfillment in their lives. Through counseling, mindful awareness, behavioral modifications, and lifestyle changes, you will begin to reclaim balance, peace and joy in your life.
