Relationship Issues Therapists in West End, Portland, ME

I believe that relationships have the ability to serve as containers for significant personal growth as well as relational healing. I work with relationships of all types to break long-standing patterns of conflict or to navigate recent ruptures. I am particularly passionate about supporting partners and individuals exploring nontraditional relationship structures as well as families with adult children. I also work from a trauma-informed perspective with individuals who are facing life transitions, struggling with relational challenges, or feeling like something from the past is getting in the way of living life with ease.

I offer a safe and non-judgmental space where all parts of you are welcomed to come forward, and will be met with curiosity, empathy and some humor. I am drawn to, and inspired by, the power of human resiliency. I believe we naturally have information, experiences, and tools inside of us, to guide us to a deeper sense of ourselves. I am passionate about helping you discover, explore, and connect to all parts of you, in order to live a more full and embodied life.

I work to earn your trust as we explore the experiences that led you to seek help. I can show you how to work through anxiety and depression to strengthen your sense of self. Life transitions, an immediate crisis, trauma and its long-standing effects, all can impact and distort our perceptions. I can help you understand the feelings and thoughts that drive your behaviors and change them to find more purpose in your work and relationships. PLEASE SEE MY WEBSITE: http://gmorazzinilcsw.com.

I currently have openings for in-person work in my office in Brunswick, or via Telehealth. I work with individuals and couples who are navigating experiences of anxiety, OCD, life transitions, grief, heartbreak, relationship issues, trauma, belonging, and self-worth. Together we will try to make sense of how you’re feeling, discern what you’re needing, and work towards harmonious, courageous, and honest relationships. We might discover limiting beliefs and attempt to release them. We will look at your story, your past, and your dreams, and make connections as we slow down, investigate, unscramble, feel, and heal.

As a licensed clinical psychologist, I believe that sustainable growth happens when you feel seen, and when we are developing a safe and collaborative working relationship. Psychotherapy often focuses on improving coping skills, increasing interpersonal richness, and building a more solid self-experience. This work requires consideration of the underlying dynamics existing in emotions, ways of thinking, and relational patterns that are connected to—but sometimes larger than behavior itself. I strive to work from a place of curiosity, warmth, flexibility, and commitment.

Are you, or someone you know, struggling with life's challenges? I can assist and support individuals and families along their path of change. I offer an eclectic approach to therapy that is shaped by the needs of you or your family.

The most important aspect of my work as a therapist is the relationship between therapist and client. This allows the therapuetic alliance to be formed. My focus is on teaching adults and seniors new coping skills and life skills to help alleviate their symptoms of depression, anxiety, fears or phobias. I also help people who are struggling with traumatic memories using EMDR as a treatment modality. I have been trained in cognitive-behavioral therapy, teaching one to change existing thought processes thus leading to positive thinking and coping skills. I use a holistic bio-psycho-social model which incorporates mindfulness therapy using relaxation techniques.

Life is a journey full of a wide array of experiences. Some experiences feed us, test us, motivate us, challenge us, and still others may confuse and discourage us. Asking for help to navigate life’s many varied challenges is a wise and courageous step toward becoming the person you want to be. As a counselor, I seek to create a collaborative, trusting relationship with clients through which to explore, heal, and cope with life’s many surprises.

As a client at various times in my own life, I appreciate the challenge of engaging with a new therapist. The vulnerability of opening up to a stranger is real and palpable. Your growth in therapy is driven in part by your willingness to trust me, feel calm in the process, and confidence in my approach. My work always begins with this recognition, and has led to twenty years of creating a safe and comfortable space, while nurturing deeply meaningful relationships. Humbly and respectfully, I have had the privilege to witness amazing client strength, courage, and growth. I always learn from you, as you ideally learn from me.

Is your life turning out the way you planned? Are your personal relationships fulfilling? Are you finding the right job for you? Do people get who you really are? Too often we lose track of the way we exist each day. Depression over past mistakes or anxiety about what might happen in the future prevent us from being who we want to be in the present. The goal of existential counseling is to help you develop a better relationship with your "self" first, and then to improve your relationships with others. To help you gain more confidence in the decisions you make daily and to worry less about how others will judge you in the future.

Struggling with food? Down on your body? Sadly, it's so easy, in our culture, to dislike our bodies. It's also easy to find ourselves mired in a cycle of overeating, efforts to get "back on track", and yet more overeating or bingeing. We can find ourselves consumed by thoughts of what we will eat, what we won't eat, what we wish we could eat, what we ate last night. It can be exhausting. It can zap the joy and zest right out of us.

Congratulations on taking this difficult step. Changing habits is hard. Many have done it successfully and if you are ready, so can you. I partner with people struggling with addiction to assist them in reconnecting with their True Self.

Is your life turning out the way you planned? Are your personal relationships succeeding? Are you finding the right career for you? Do people know the real you? Too often we lose track of how we exist each day. Depression over past mistakes or anxiety about what might happen in the future prevent us from being who we really want to be in the present. The goal of counseling is to help you develop a better relationship with your 'self' in order to improve your relationships with others.

I believe within each of us is a powerful energy we can use to expand our lives. In moving beyond our limiting beliefs and the places where we get stuck, we open to our potential. Learning to manage our thoughts and emotions consciously, from a place of alignment with our values, allows us to identify and express the best version of us more consistently. It is just a matter of time before our external world begins reflecting these internal changes.
