Adults Therapists in Portland, ME

Being disconnected from our emotions and our life experiences can cause us to feel isolated, struggle with relationships, and have a hard time being motivated to take good care of ourselves. I offer a strengths-based, collaborative approach where the relationship we form becomes the foundation of the work. We will work together to enable you to gain more awareness and understanding of how you experience everyday life, which in turn will help you work towards wellness, balance, and stability. I offer a non-judgmental, compassionate, and safe environment for both adults and adolescents.

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.

I have been in private practice since 1989 as a psychotherapist/LCPC. Psychotherapy is a respectful interaction between client and therapist. We arrive at answers together, answers that are specific to the individual client. Both short-term therapy and long-term therapy are provided. I work with adolescents, adults and couples.

I am a mental health counselor in Southern Maine who believes that each of us contains the inherent capacity to heal. Through trust and empathy, we will co-create a non-judgmental, safe space for you to access your needs and pains, and nurture your healing and growth potential. My clients are experts of their own experience. My goal is to empathically investigate how we can promote peace, connection, joy, and meaning in your life, while we address your concerns. I believe that relationships are the core of all things Human. Together we will explore how the nuanced elements of your life, and their meanings, relate to your needs.

I am a clinical social worker trained to work with adolescents and adults . I am licensed in both the state of CT and ME. I provide individual therapy and value working from a holistic perspective. I believe that therapy is a collaborative process that should reflect the unique needs and strengths of each individual. There is no one size fits all approach to healing and self-improvement. Throughout the therapeutic process we will work on developing the coping skills necessary to manage the complex and many times overwhelming emotions and stress brought on by the transitions and challenges in life.

I specialize in adults and professionals. Life challenges everyone and sometimes we get stuck. Stuck in worry, sadness or doubt. Trapped in challenging relationship patterns, old habits or overwhelming stress. I can support you in getting unstuck - overcoming loss, depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship and family challenges, career difficulties, transitions and burnout. We sometimes struggle to find meaning and purpose in our work or personal lives. We sometimes feel broken, different or like we’re not enough. I can help you reconnect to what matters to you, what you love about life, and find a way forward.

Are you struggling with narcissistic abuse, sexual trauma or issues related to divorce? These are my specialty. My style incorporates several techniques. I’m influenced by positive psychology, body-based therapy, and relational therapies. Focusing on self-love is crucial for all issues! My goal is to assure that you feel supported and that you have tools to help you between our sessions. There are skills that you can incorporate into your daily life to help with all this. Let’s do that together!

I provide counseling and psychotherapy to adults and couples for a wide array of psychological concerns including but not limited to depression, anxiety disorders, relational concerns, issues of self-identity, and adjustment to loss or trauma. I believe in the potential of people and that the possibility for change and repair exists within us. Gaining insight into behavior and thought patterns allows us to make the changes we need so that we can fortify our inner strength and cultivate greater happiness. Adjusting work/life balance through self care, meditation and relaxation strategies are key to improving feelings of overall well being.

Thank you for exploring my page on Psychology Today. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker I provide individual, couples and family therapy with an approach that integrates cognitive-behavioral therapy and family systems models. (I do not treat children or adolescents in my practice.) My role as therapist is to help stimulate change by facilitating conversations that explore and lead to new ways of thinking about your life and relationships, and ways to initiate meaningful change.
