"There are few if any formulas for figuring out how to live life. Clinical psychology combines the science of psychology with the art of psychotherapy. But there are no formulas. There are many strategies, some supported by clinical trials. Anxiety, Depression, even serious despair, the intractable problems can be overcome. But the individual is the essential ingredient. For the past twenty-five years in Brunswick and Portland my focus has been working with adults individually. I'd be pleased to talk to you on the phone or you can email me. My office in Brunswick is wheelchair accessible."
