Therapists in Sagadahoc County, ME

Do you find yourself struggling with life transitions, changes, anxiety, burnout, feeling stuck? Have you been told you are an Empath or HSP and/or are you part of the LGBTQ+ or Queer community? I offer a safe and authentic space to align with you and support your individual growth. I use more of a “coaching” style and help support others with finding their authentic selves through tapping into their intuition and own unique wisdom. We all go through times when we need extra support. Starting therapy can be a first step to to healing and creating the life you want! I want you to get back to your higher self and life purpose.

You may be blocked or feeling helpless, stuck or at a loss for how to cope. You may be unsure where to begin or how to continue in your journey with more joy, meaning and purpose. I focus on your strengths and believe in the inherent wisdom each person has. I combine my life experience and clinical training. My specialties include helping people to navigate grief, PTSD, trauma, anxiety, life transitions, problematic substance use, depression, and spiritual conflicts. I will journey with you nonjudgmentally to help you identify and work on your goals. I will model, facilitate, and help you discover new ways of coping, and behaving.

LCSW in Bath, Maine with over 25 years of experience with adolescent, adult, couples, and family therapy. Psychodynamically trained with skills in EMDR and DBT.

In our hurried lives, we sometimes find ourselves feeling overwhelmed, disconnected from loved ones, or "stuck" and unsure about where we are headed. Some of us may even struggle with a past that continues to define our present. As a counselor, I strive to provide a safe, supportive environment promoting awareness, cultivating strengths, and encouraging lasting change. My clients frequently describe me as warm, genuine, non-judgmental, easy to talk to, insightful and motivating. My style draws upon an experience range including grief/hospice care, family/couple systems, group and individual treatment for clients with severe psychiatric diagnoses, and addiction.

Accepting New Telehealth Clients: People who work with me will find a clinician committed to creating a safe and nurturing environment to explore, grow, and transform. The beginning of therapy with me focuses on developing a rapport so you can feel a level of comfort sharing your story. We will create a partnership to explore where to go in therapy. I lean heavily on years of training in narrative therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, dream analysis, and trauma informed work along with my highly tuned intuition and compassion. I try to be down to earth and bring humor into sessions when appropriate too.

I will be on vacation until 2/19/23. I bring warmth, compassion and years of experience, in my work as I help people heal, acquire skills and live with more ease in their lives. I have extensive training in couples counseling and parenting work. I have over 26 years of experience helping people with anxiety, depression, trauma, substance misuse, sexual issues, chronic illness, work issues, friendships, etc. I believe in continuing to grow and learn so that I may be of the most benefit to my clients. I work in an inter-actional, relational framework with people from 17 to 100 as individuals, couples, and families.

Move to the next level in your life and relationships. Learn how to be happier, more content, and more forgiving of yourself and others. Find more peace in your mind and at home. By learning Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and mindfulness techniques, and by focusing on overall health and wellness, my clients often see noticeable improvement within a handful of sessions. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I treat a wide range of psychological and emotional issues and I have extensive experience in family, couple's, and individual therapy.

I begin with what you see as the reason you are seeking help, such as depression, anxiety, low self esteem, stress, abuse, work, relationship issues, addictions, etc. From that starting point I help you deepen your understanding of yourself and your situation, make sense of what's going on, find good strategies and solutions. Addictions, including compulsive gambling, is my specialty but I have experience in a general practice working with a wide range of issues. I'm known as loving my work, being compassionate, empathic, pragmatic, energetic and focusing on people's strengths while helping them with their challenges.

Let's face it...life can feel overwhelming or discouraging at times. Everyone has been there at some point. Fortunately, all of us have an innate drive to heal and feel better; to regain a sense of control, become more resilient or empowered, or face and overcome challenging obstacles. But still, it's not unusual for us to have difficulty tapping into that sometimes—or know how to start. That's where I come in. I help you find your strengths as you address, work through, or resolve what is troubling you. Reaching out for help isn't always easy, but is one of the best and most courageous things you can do.

Whatever challenge you are facing - anxiety, depression, feelings related to connectivity/isolation, general day-to-day issues that are adding up or becoming overwhelming, issues with life transitions, or issues with your partner, I will meet you (individuals or couples) wherever you are on your journey and provide a space where you feel seen and heard. We will work together to identify the emotions associated with the challenges in your life, process those emotions, and discover your strengths. I will form a collaborative relationship with you and be with you every step of the way as you make changes and discover your potential.

Have you ever just felt stuck? Maybe you've been in the same job for years and you want to make a change. Maybe you love your job but want to be a more focused and deliberate leader. Or maybe what you feel inside doesn't match with "how a man should act..." Perhaps you want to break the cycle and be a better husband, father, or person. Or maybe you just want to enjoy the person you really are without any masks, pretenses, or preconceived notions.
