Cognitive Behavioral (CBT) Therapists in Augusta, ME
My name is Summer Post. I am a licensed counselor in Delaware, Maine, Maryland, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Virginia. I work with individuals who have experienced adverse experiences to help them to take control back in their lives. I became a therapist because I know that every person is powerful and can overcome anything. I want to help every individual be able to recognize this and to access their inner strength. Seeing clients getting to the place where they can do that is what drives me every day.

I am an LCSW with over 30 years of experience. I believe that the most important indicator of success in therapy is ensuring that clients feel heard and respected.

Treatment is individually tailored to support clients manage symptoms of anxiety, depression, relationship issues and grief. A strong therapeutic alliance allows for me to get the best clinical understanding in order to help with meaningful change.

I believe in the uniqueness of each human being and that all people have inherent strengths. I know when a person seeks counseling it is because he/she is feeling overwhelmed or stuck. In the safety of a professional helping relationship you will address those areas as well as recognize and utilize your own strengths so you can move forward to resolve your problems. I work with people on a variety of difficult life issues and I meet each person where they are at. In addition to helping individual adults, I work with parents, families and children ages 7-18.

I use a combination of traditional methods such as CBT and DBT, as well as more body centered approaches to treatment, such as EFT/Tapping.
Many of us feel like we carry the weight of the world on our shoulders…and we do! Our bodies and minds absorb our experiences all day, yet we don't often release this. Our stress affects our physical bodies as well as our minds, and it is important that we connect the two when we heal. There is such strong work in looking at the influences of past trauma, managing the stress or negativity that may be affecting life, and helping to rebuild the body and mind as safe places to be. I love to work with people who are ready for change, and who are ready to look inward. This is a vulnerable journey, but you don't need to do it alone.

As a licensed therapist I specialize in both mental health therapy as well as substance abuse and affected other counseling. Although I am able to provide either form of treatment alone, it is often appropriate to combine the two as a treatment for those experiencing difficulties due to the co-occurrence of symptoms, whether they have the substance abuse issue themselves or are affected by a loved one's substance abuse.

I have particular experience and interest working with BIPOC clients, Veterans, LGBTQ+ individuals, people in polyamorous and ethically non-monogamous (ENM) relationships, and those seeking a sex-positive and kink-affirming therapist.

Whatever their background, my ideal clients are those self-motivated for growth and healing. I support clients through relationship, expertise and an outside perspective in solving their own problems and ultimately being able to move forward in life independently.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT) Therapists
How does cognitive behavioral therapy work?
Cognitive behavioral therapy works by exploring how your thoughts affect your emotions and experiences. CBT helps you identify distortions in your thinking. For example, you may tend to jump to the worst case scenario catastrophizing or think in extremes (all-or-nothing thinking). A therapist can teach you how to push back against those thoughts to ultimately change your feelings and behavior for the better. They can also provide coping skills to better deal with stressors and challenges.
When do I know to seek treatment with cognitive behavioral therapy?
It’s reasonable to consider cognitive behavioral therapy if you struggle to manage difficult emotions or behaviors to such an extent that you are not getting the most out of life on a day-to-day basis. If you want a shorter term, concrete, skills-based approach, CBT is a great option. (By contrast, other types of therapy may devote more time to exploring your past and its effects.) The decision to seek CBT also depends on the condition you’re treating; CBT is an effective treatment for anxiety, depression, trauma, and many other disorders.
How can I find a cognitive behavioral therapist for someone else?
To find a cognitive behavioral therapist for someone else, you may want to begin by discussing the person’s problem, researching cognitive behavioral therapy, and assessing whether the approach is the right fit. You could then reach out to a few cognitive behavioral therapists in this directory, explain the scenario, have a consultation with those available, and determine who could be a good match.
Why is CBT such a popular form of therapy?
CBT has become a popular form of therapy because it is effective and accessible. Robust research has demonstrated that CBT is an effective treatment for many mental health conditions. And CBT can be learned in relatively few sessions, which means that many people can engage in the process, afford it, and see results quickly. It involves learning concrete skills such as disputing unhelpful thoughts; these skills can also be taught and spread widely.
