Maine Community Health Options Therapists in Scarborough, ME
Are you a highly-motivated, ambitious individual who thrives on the pursuit of excellence? Is your goal-oriented nature constantly driving you towards perfection? I'm Jackie, clinical therapist with A Simple Therapy, and I’m right there with you. I understand the unique challenges (and advantages!) that come with a high-achieving personality. While others perceive you effortlessly juggling numerous responsibilities, you’re feeling like an imposter-overwhelmed, burned out, empty, and in dire need of establishing boundaries. Perhaps you’ve experienced a major transition and your old ways of succeeding just aren’t working anymore.

I believe therapy is most effective when there’s a genuine connection between the client and therapist. That’s why my first goal is always to build a strong, trusting relationship. From there, we’ll create a plan tailored to your needs and focused on the issues that matter most to you.
You’re always in control of your treatment and choose the challenges you want to work on. Clients and colleagues describe me as down-to-earth and easygoing. I’m fully certified in EMDR through the International Institute and often use it to treat PTSD, trauma-related symptoms, anxiety disorders and address relationship stressors.

You want your child to feel calmer, more confident, and better able to handle big emotions. Maybe they’re struggling with anxiety, ADHD, mood changes, social challenges, or feeling overwhelmed at school or home. As an experienced child and family therapist, I offer practical, age-appropriate tools kids can use in real moments—at bedtime, in the classroom, or during peer conflict—while partnering closely with parents to provide guidance, strategies, and steady support at home. I also love working with women of all ages who want help with anxiety, autism, ADHD, depression, relationships and dealing with life stressors.

As a dually licensed therapist I specialize in both mental health therapy as well as substance abuse and affected other counseling. Although I am able to provide either form of treatment alone, it is often appropriate to combine the two as a treatment for those experiencing difficulties due to the co-occurrence of symptoms, whether they have the substance abuse issue themselves or are affected by a loved one's substance abuse.

I specialize in working with adults navigating intimate partner violence, substance use, anxiety and depression, grief and loss, complex trauma, and issues related to LGBTQIA+ identities and gender exploration.

I'm trained in DBT and currently accept clients with a diagnosis of borderline personality disorder. I also work with clients who are healthcare workers, as well as individuals who are facing chronic or life limiting illnesses.

People often reach out for counseling with significant changes or some kind of loss that has shifted life around. Many carry worry, grief, illness, life transition or are caregivers. I often hear people say "I need somewhere to share my fears and worries" to "really listen" or "walk through this change" with me. Many people are hoping to sort out their feelings, thoughts and explore steps in making changes. Some find they develop a new sense of self, perspective, improved connections within relationships, a cultivation of mindfulness, new hopes, and of course -a richer meaning to their life.

You might look like you're holding it together on the outside—working, showing up for people, doing what you're supposed to—but inside things feel heavier than they should. When stress, anxiety, or relationship struggles keep resurfacing, it can leave you wondering why. I work with people who feel stuck and want something to change—whether that’s quieting anxiety, improving relationships, or understanding coping habits like substance use that no longer feel helpful. I help people understand what’s driving these experiences and how to move forward differently. Our work focuses on understanding what’s happening beneath the surface.

Hello and welcome to my profile! I believe that anyone can benefit from therapy. My goal is to create a safe and therapeutic environment for each of my clients. I like to use the first three sessions to get to know the client, establish trust and identify what it is they want to work on. Throughout treatment it is important to me that the client feels as though they are in control of their journey. I like to view myself as a guide for the client while they explore areas that need our attention.

I am trained in Marriage and Family Therapy. My work is primarily with couples and the dance they create that is unique to them. Each couple is unique so I try to individualize the ongoing treatment. Families come in to clear up communication and better understand how each person fits into the family dance and how all the moving parts have to have a pattern that defines this family. Each family creates its own ballet!
