Adults Therapists in Kennebunk, ME

It is natural to seek support when we feel overwhelmed, confused, fearful or depressed.The therapeutic process offers us the opportunity to build on skills that we already have in order to find relief, hope and healing. My work combines practices of narrative therapy (examining the beliefs we have about ourselves), cognitive behavioral work (paying attention to our thoughts), expressive therapy (healing through art and writing) and mindfulness exercises.

*I am currently accepting new clients in Maine and Massachusetts for teletherapy.* I believe that building a therapeutic relationship with compassion, empathy, and respect is the most important aspects of therapy and helping clients improve their lives. I use a strengths-based and client-centered approach to therapy and work to create a safe and supportive place that fosters resilience for each client. I work with adults , families, and caregivers in the areas of eating disorders, depression, anxiety, boy's/men's issues, and life transitions, among others.

I am not accepting new clients. Hi, I'm Hannah! It can feel challenging to think about starting therapy and overwhelming to know what brings you or your family to seek support. What I know about therapy is that the best fit is usually based on the relationship between the therapist and the client (you). A lot of the time therapy is about how you feel talking to and sitting with that person. The best way to get to know more about me is to give me a call and let’s figure it out together. I look forward to connecting with you regarding traditional office based therapy or Ecotherapy.

Sometimes in life you hit the bump in the road and need help to navigate in a new direction. Transitions are easier when you have support. This is true for adults , as well as children. Over the past 32 years I have helped many children,parents, adults and couples become their best self by exploring what helps or hinders this process.

Life is challenging and it just never stays the same! Sometimes we find ourselves in a rough patch where old patterns of behavior just don't work anymore but we don't know what else to do. I believe it's my job to help you find your way through to new answers and behaviors that serve you better. To me, the work of therapy is to find the courage within to change the things that you can, the acceptance to live with what you cannot and most importantly, to figure out which is which! I believe it is my role to help you find your way through this with compassion, humor and insight.

Given the many challenges that life can hand us, it's easy to lose hope or feel overwhelmed. You are not alone. All too often our minds begin to take over filling our head with old messages that no longer serve us. Perhaps we are judging ourselves too harshly or feeling guilty for things that are out of our hands. Perhaps our heart is burdened with feelings of depression or anxiety. By exploring the importance of grounding ourselves in the present and practicing an awareness of being mindful, we can change our life patterns finding the inner peace that we strive for. Working together we can find hope in the present moment.

I work with children, adolescents, and families experiencing emotional or behavioral difficulties. I also work with young adults . The issues I see most in my practice are: anxiety, depression, behavioral issues, and family relationship difficulties. I work primarily from a strengths-based, cognitive -behavioral approach, using psycho-education, coping skills training, and positive psychology. With adult clients, I explore the impact their family of origin has had -- good and bad---and help them develop healthy habits in response to those issues. Always, I feel the relationship between client and counselor is part of the healing.

And many of us are happy much of the time as ordinary events pass through us without leaving a mark. And then, something happens and we're stuck. These events narrow our view of ourselves, our world and keep us from living to our full potential. Your problems affect who you are today and you want things to change. I can help you reduce what keeps you stuck so that you can move forward living your life in a more fulfilling and meaningful way.

My work is informed by 20 years of professional experience and as a seasoned human being. I work with adults who are struggling with addiction, PTSD, depression, difficulty controlling emotions and behaviors, temporary stressful life circumstances, or organic illnesses who might benefit from talking with someone who is an active listener, offers a non-judgmental perspective, and someone who establishes a caring sense of connection and support. I have a deep understanding of how addiction, PTSD, loss, depression, and a sense of not knowing where to turn can feel.

Life can be overwhelming-leaving little time or energy for peaceful introspection. I use a warm acceptance and humor to help clients face challenging dilemmas. Without understanding the motivation behind our impulses, we can lose our way, sometimes getting stuck for years, and developing maladaptive emotional coping difficulties. I help people recognize and overcome their self-limiting belief systems, generating greater self knowledge, confidence and having the ability to tolerate the emotional strains of contemporary living. I have over 20 years of work experience in the trauma field- working with both survivors and perpetrators of abuse.
