Stress Therapists in Bangor, ME

Hello, when you or someone you care about is looking for a therapist it is usually a difficult time; however that is exactly when therapy can be most helpful. I primarily work with individuals who have experienced anxiety, depression, loneliness, trauma and stress. I am passionate about helping clients to create meaningful experiences and relationships in their lives, achieve personal goals and build confidence. It is my belief that each client is the expert on themselves and in therapy my role is to listen and assist clients in accessing their own internal resources, strengths and abilities.

Welcome! You've taken the first step! At any given time, any one of us can face increased stress due to a wide variety life circumstances. Sometimes, we get stuck, and we don't know how to move forward. My clients are insightful, resourceful, and motivated to change their lives. Email me to connect and get started.

If you are a first responder struggling with regulating emotions, feel disturbed by your lack of empathy/emotional response, and/or find it difficult to trust and connect with those around you - I encourage you to reach out!

I believe that we all come to a place in our lives, maybe once, maybe at several points, where we need support to reach our goals.  My focus is to work with you on identifying your obstacles, moving them aside and achieving a happier, healthier life.  My hope is to provide a safe, nurturing space free of judgement, for you to process your thoughts and feelings. Whatever your reasons may be for seeking support, I want you to feel empowered to achieve your goals.  I believe you are the expert and my job is to support, guide, and make recommendations, but ultimately this is your journey.

Whatever brings someone to therapy, it generally includes some form of pain, dissatisfaction, or discomfort, and a disconnect between what is happening their life and what they want. Our work together will help to shed light on why you are struggling, and support you as you make changes, drawing on your strengths to find an approach that is more effective and aligned with how you want your life to be. I believe that effective therapy starts with a safe, compassionate, non-judgmental emotional space where clients can feel heard and understood and my work is grounded in developing a strong therapeutic relationship.

No matter your situation or story, I believe you deserve to experience hope, healing, happiness, and personal growth. My role is to be a positive and encouraging support to you as you move through your therapeutic journey. My goal is to provide a safe, open, and supportive space for you to explore and work through whatever challenges you may be facing. My approach is person-centered, strengths-based, and solution focused as we work together at a pace that feels best for you.

Change can be an overwhelming and frustrating journey if done alone. Seeking support from a counselor is a sign of personal strength and can help you to achieve more effective and gratifying results. I believe people have the innate strength to overcome their barriers. However, we all need guidance and support at times to learn how to untap our power, potential, and abilities. At your own pace, we will collaborate to find a balance of cognitive, behavioral, and mind/body techniques that will help you to connect to yourself, cope with stress, and create effective solutions to the challenges you may be facing.

Welcome, its nice to meet you! We all want to feel valued, respected, understood, encouraged, and validated. With that, it's important to try and understand other people's perspectives and challenge unhealthy thoughts to build stronger relationships. I'm here to offer behavioral, emotional, and psychological support when you need it most. Life can be tough sometimes, and when we face challenges like depression or relationship issues etc, it's not always easy to know what to do. In our work together, we can navigate those roadblocks and get you feeling good again. I use different techniques, like CBT, DBT and Crisis Intervention.

I welcome inquiries from individuals and couples seeking to improve their emotion regulation, communication skills, relationships; process difficult emotions and memories; increase their coping, time and stress management skills; and bolster their sleep hygiene and health. I am particularly open to working with people who feel stifled by the current political climate, those who fear being (or have been) silenced or "cancelled," as well as persons of faith. I am licensed to practice in the states of Maine, New York, Virginia, and Pennsylvania.

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.

Hello! My name is Suzanne and I have a Masters degree in Social work from the University of New England. I have extensive experience in assisting clients in managing various issues such as anxiety, depression, chronic stress, gender dysphoria, trauma, hospice care, and grief.

It's never too late to take the first step toward healing. It's also never too soon - therapy can be preventative. I believe you are the expert of your experience, and my role as your counselor is to help you tap into your inner wisdom, develop skills, find meaning and purpose, and empower you to cultivate the life you want. I use a blend of evidence-based approaches to help people through: anxiety, depression, trauma, eating disorders, body image, burnout / chronic stress, relationship stressors, and perfectionism. My approach is warm, collaborative, authentic, and non-pathologizing; I see you as a WHOLE person, not a diagnosis.

As adults, we can carry many layers of stress. Stress that can take a toll on our mental and physical wellbeing, creating tension in our personal and professional experiences, and negatively impacting our quality of life. Often, when we are in this place of limited resiliency, we can find that anxiety and/or depression can take advantage and settle in. Or we find that our relationships or parenting can seem more challenging, leaving us feeling overwhelmed, exhausted or lost. If this is your experience, you're not alone. Together we can move through the stressors, build skills and resiliency; to find a path to peace and hope.

Does it feel like anxiety and stress are running…the…show? You're constantly stressed out, exhausted, irritable, and overwhelmed. You can’t stop the anxious chatter in your head. You're going a mile a minute and running on empty! Your self-esteem is at an all-time low. You’re tangled up in negative self-talk that is fueling your self-doubt. You constantly seek approval, feel like you're not enough, and worry that you're being judged or rejected. You’re so tired of living this way but you don’t know how to do things any differently.

My ideal client seeks self-exploration & understanding, facing issues like anxiety, depression, or relationship difficulties. They need a supportive space for personal growth, aiming to gain insight, develop coping strategies, improve communication, & foster healthy relationships. They aspire to enhance mental well-being, achieve a better life quality, & unlock their full potential.
