Therapists in Brunswick, ME

I am a psychologist who works with adults in individual and group psychotherapy. My approach is integrative in nature meaning that, depending on the needs of my clients, I seek to relieve distress through providing emotion regulation and other skills while also working towards long-term change by gaining insight into problematic thought patterns and relationship cycles. I specialize in working with clients who are seeking therapy for emotion- and relationship-based problems, including depression, anxiety, trauma, and anger issues.

Accepting new clients! Some struggle to make friends, attend school, send emails, try new things, or find employment. You may find yourself to be irritable, withdrawn, or hopeless. Some struggle to sleep well at night, or experience medically unexplained gastrointestinal issues and headaches. At Rise Up, we treat anxiety so that you can choose your future. During anxiety treatment, you will find ways to engage in life so that you can pursue your hopes and dreams.

I have practiced psychotherapy with individuals, couples and families since 1985. My practice consists of a rich diversity of people from all walks of life, with whom I seek to provide a supportive relationship for change and growth. It is my privilege to be in a "people-helping" profession and to see the resourcefulness of the human spirit in working through the complexity of life and becoming whole.

At present, my practice is limited to men and women in the law enforcement community and their families.

I work with people dealing with the difficulties and struggles that come from living and growing. Many of my clients are struggling with life transitions, relationship problems, grief, stress, anxiety or trauma. They may have noticed patterns in their life they want to change. All of them want to feel better, to function better, and to understand themselves better. You do not need a diagnosis to work with me. However, if you have been diagnosed with a mental health issue, or are interested in being diagnosed, we can work together to identify and understand your struggles. Your goals will determine the work we do together.

HEALING RELATIONSHIPS is the counseling practice of Leslie Bartlett, L.C.P.C. & Steven Klockow, L.C.S.W. We specialize in transformational couples work. We teach what it takes to be fully alive, attuned and present with each other so that repair and connection are the natural outcome. We routinely help couples who are navigating addictions & affairs, sexuality, co-parenting & blended family challenges as well as other stressful life situations such as infertility, medical/mental health issues and loss. Our work is ideally suited for couples who feel ready to take on the challenge of living more consciously together.

Accepting new clients (English/Français)! Do you find anxiety keeps you or a loved one from being themselves? I work with individuals and parents to build skills to overcome anxiety, depression, to improve focus, socialization, and performance at school or work, and to increase life satisfaction and improve relationships. My approach to counseling is grounded in holistic wellness. We are whole humans with areas of strength and areas to grow, and I believe it's just as important to recognize strengths as it is to validate concerns. Together, we draw upon your strengths to overcome the obstacles that you believe are holding you back.

Hello, I'm Dr. James Weaver, a licensed Psychologist with over 30 years experience assisting adults, adolescents, couples and families with life, work and relationship issues.

I currently have openings in two groups starting early March for LGBTQ+ adults on Tuesday or Thursday evenings 5-6:30pm. Reach out to schedule an appointment to meet with me about the groups. I believe strongly in community and connectedness, and our work together will result in increasing security with one another, with yourself, and to those most important to you.I am committed to working with you to foster healing and growth.

I believe therapy should be a short-term experience that supports real change. If you are ready to "do the work" in session (when learning occurs) and "use your skills" out of session (when healing typically occurs), I am excited to be your guide and provide you with a therapeutic experience that is tailored to YOU. I work with clients age 3 and up with unique and fun offerings for each age group.

My approach to therapy is collaborative, depth-oriented, and attuned to embodied experience. My goal is to be present with you to your feelings, thoughts, images, and sensations as they arise, with attention to nervous system regulation and attachment dynamics. Together we will work to become more aware of the narratives and values that shape your sense of self and help you articulate and work towards goals that are important to you. To support this process, I integrate techniques from psychodynamic and emotion-focused therapies, mindfulness practices, expressive arts, and somatically engaged Jungian dreamwork.

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.

I AM ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS IN MAY, 2022. Your deserve to feel worthy, seen and heard. I work with all presentations and while I am skilled in diagnosing, our focus will be on the parts of yourself that get in your own way and not the DSM. A lot of life struggles can be focused-down to brain-based roadblocks often resulting in a negative narrative that someone else has given you. We will build supportive interventions from a person-centered perspective. You deserve a whole and healed version of yourself. Let’s connect. **I currently do not accept insurance and do not plan to in the immediate future. I do offer a sliding scale fee.**

I work with adults providing individual, group, and couples therapy and conducting ADHD assessments. My first priority is cultivating a compassionate, nonjudgmental space where you feel truly seen and heard. Therapy is a collaborative partnership, and we will work together towards goals that are meaningful for you. My work often involves helping clients increase self-acceptance, develop self-regulation skills, overcome fear/avoidance, and live more authentic, fulfilling lives. I absolutely love helping people shake off the shackles of “I should” and move towards what they truly want and need for themselves.
