Therapists Beginning With V in Maine

Life can be full of challenges and stressors. Seeking out help and support can be challenging. In my practice I recognize that every individual is in a different place when they start counseling and it is important to cater treatment to each individual. I strive to provide support to individuals of all ages and focus on finding healthy ways to managing each persons mental health symptoms and everyday life stressors. Are you struggling with something in your life and feeling that you could use some extra support? By working together we can find ways to manage your current challenges and find healthy ways to cope.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker that has been working in the field with a very diverse population for over 15 years. I practice from a strengths-based perspective with the desire to join with individuals on their pathway to healing. When an individual enters a therapeutic relationship with another individual it is perhaps the exact moment that the person musters up the courage to be vulnerable and in the words of Brene Brown “live wholeheartedly, daring to show up and let ourselves be seen”. That is the moment that the healing journey begins.

My passion in this work is to connect deeply with clients. Research tells us that the quality of the therapeutic relationship is the most important factor in positive outcomes in therapy, and I devote my attention to cultivating this relationship with empathy, authenticity, and compassion. I believe that you, the client, are the expert of your experience, and my role as therapist is to provide a quality of relationship that allows you to safely explore who you truly are, without judgement.

There are many powerful tools available to help individuals, couples, and families achieve meaningful, positive change in their lives. As a psychologist in clinical practice for over 25 years, I am vitally engaged in the process of integrating a broad range of therapeutic practices to meet the unique needs of each client. Effective psychotherapy can be of great assistance in negotiating the complexities of modern human existence. Engaging mind, heart, and intuition, it is a process that may become an "adventure of the Soul" imparting profound benefit beyond the alleviation of symptoms.

I’m Katherine Vilnrotter. I believe that every person is important and has a voice to be heard. The stories we align ourselves with, determine our perceptions of ourselves, our situations, and others. The richer the story, the more useful tools it has to offer us on our journey. The beauty of a story is its fluidity; it is always changing, evolving, and transforming along with the characters it holds. I’m honored to witness every story and enrich it with new tools and perspectives along the way.

The anxiety, depression, and identity issues that can arise from trauma and other personal issues can confuse and defeat our best intentions for ourselves - especially when the trauma was experienced early in life, interrupting the developmental cycle. I am here for those who find they struggle to create change in their lives due to early trauma or who struggle to overcome the outmoded and worn stories that do not serve the person they would like to be. In working together you will discover and apply coping skills for everyday triggers, broaden self-regulation, and develop self-awareness.
