You’re a capable, resourceful adult others turn to but when your life stops making sense, who do you turn to? Hi, I’m Jennie and I’ve helped adults cope with anxiety, depression, ADHD, grief, work and caregiver stress. Creative and high-capacity people often find their way to me (neurodiversity welcomed). I supported individuals from varied backgrounds: grad students; farm-steading parents of young children; first responders, teachers and nurses; military family members; government employees and creatives. I understand both metropolitan “hustle culture” and rural/small town dynamics, each with its own strengths and demands.

The style I use is eclectic and offers compassionate understanding in a relaxed environment that supports growth and personal exploration for individuals and couples. My methods include the use of creative expression through creative play, art, dramatic play, music, puppetry, creative writing, sculpture, painting, and other modalities for adult clients. I also offer traditional talk therapies designed for clients to develop solution-focused ideas to their own concerns as the goal is for each client to become their own best expert.

I believe that every individual is the expert unto themselves, and therefore have an inner capacity to cope and heal from mental health challenges and trauma. As a licensed clinical professional counselor, it is my role to be a guide, sounding board, and someone to help encourage further inner exploration.

Semi-Retired (11/30/2022) - -- It is my belief that each of us can heal from emotional, physical and sexual trauma. In the presence of compassion, kindness and non-judgment, I listen to, and witness the suffering and profound pain shared during therapy. In therapy, the healing power of compassion; sense of being understood by and cared for by another human being is offered. Each of us has the same needs when we are suffering; to feel validated, safe and understood for the duration of our journey. In our work together, I will offer support, encouragement, and honesty, tempered with compassion.

Hello and welcome! I am excited that you are reading this profile and I appreciate your time. I hope that I can be a part of your journey. I am passionate about providing an empathetic and nonjudgmental environment for individuals to feel free and safe to work through challenges and to be able to be themselves.

Are you feeling anxious, stressed, overwhelmed, depressed, having relationship or work difficulties? I am skilled at helping people on their journey of self-awareness, mood disorders, anxiety or any other life stressors that may be occurring. People are unique and therapy is not a one size fits all model. I use an eclectic variety of treatments to meet each person's needs and style of learning. We will work together to develop a plan that works for you. This is YOUR journey, I am here to help guide you along in whatever direction that may be for you.

Congratulation on taking a most challenging first step- reaching out and being willing to create change. I believe the primary goal of therapy is increased self-awareness. You may have parts of yourself that you are unconscious of, that you don't understand or that you belief that you can't change. Those perceptions can lead you to living a life that may not be in your best interest- causing painful experiences and ultimately preventing you from sharing your authentic self and who you are meant to be in the world.

Welcome to the start of your healing journey! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker specializing in psychotherapy for adults in Maine and New Hampshire. I offer evidenced-based practices to include cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, motivational interviewing, acceptance and commitment therapy, and trauma focused therapy. Additionally, I provide supervision for fully and conditionally licensed counselors.

Life experience (and the thoughts and beliefs we hold), can control how we feel and directly impacts struggles such as grief, depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, and trauma. I combine psychotherapy with holistic counseling to help you see a bigger picture for your life, and to help you change emotional, physical, and psychological upsets that interrupt the life you prefer to live.

I practice trauma-informed care that involves understanding, recognizing, and responding to the effects of most types of trauma and/or adversity. I bring a functional approach that is person-centered to target your individual needs within your relationship and/or self that surround the human experience. Together, we will explore what is important to you and/or your relationship. Clients that tend to fit well with me are individuals/couples who are self-motivated, witty, can enjoy healthy, light-hearted humor, and may have high empathy.

My small independent practice is set in central Maine downtown Skowhegan. With a quiet feel many clients comment on how relaxed and homey it feels during their sessions. My goal is to make others feel safe and welcome into the space.

In a world that is constantly on the go I feel that it is important to take sometime to understand oneself and needs.
