Stress Therapists in Falmouth, ME

Are you experiencing stress in your everyday life or facing challenges in your relationships? Do you think if only my self-esteem were better, I'd thrive at work and be happier with my friends? My ideal client is someone like you, seeking to find balance and understanding in their life. In a safe, trusting environment, you can create meaningful change. Imagine sessions that revolve entirely around your individual needs and goals, where your voice is not just heard, but valued.

Life is a maze of ups and downs, we are taught to push away the downs and "keep moving" without acknowledging our true feelings and needs. Before you know it, fear, anxiety, trauma, depression, self doubt begin to take over and guide our decision making process. Your truth, who you are, and what you want starts to get lost, life becomes exhausting, unsatisfying and lonely. How might it feel to safely explore and validate your emotions and needs? Deepen your understanding of who you are and how you function through exposure to thoughts, feelings and behaviors that take over and create dysfunction in your life.

NOW accepting NEW clients! Whether the result of traumatic events, family dynamics, life transitions, or the stress of being a human, anxiety presents itself for these and other reasons, and it can feel overwhelming. Not knowing what to do, how to address it, or why it shows up can make us feel like we’re adrift without a paddle. Often, we think that we’re broken or that we need fixing. The truth is that we’re not broken, and anxiety is showing up to tell us that something needs our attention. Finding the answers to these questions can be challenging, and this is where therapy can be helpful.

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.

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.

Hello, I’m Kristel! I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who is committed to supporting clients through the journey of self-discovery and healing. I seek to create a safe space for clients to explore issues using an open, non-judgmental, and empathetic approach. I believe there is healing power in seeing and being seen.

We often find ourselves stuck in all too familiar negative patterns. Patterns of behavior that we know don't serve ourselves or our loved ones. Patterns of thought that always seem to tear us down no matter how much progress we make. Patterns within relationships that are less than we deserve. Patterns of anxiety and stress that feel out of our control. Many of us have worked hard to understand and change these patterns: setting goals, self-help books, therapy, medication, meditation, and so on. Yet we find that the deepest patterns are frustratingly stubborn, seeming to rise to the surface no matter how much work we've done.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I am passionate about helping clients uncover and live as the best version of themselves. Informed by Emotionally Focused Therapy and Internal Family Systems, I utilize a strengths-based, collaborative approach to help clients understand, heal, and change the negative thought patterns and limiting beliefs that contribute to symptoms of anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem.

Thank you for your interest in my counseling practice. I have been a Licensed Clinical Social Worker for several years and work with individuals 18 years and older. I specialize in treating symptoms of depression, anxiety, trauma, peer related issues and provide guidance to individuals experiencing stress tied to life's challenges and transitions.

I enjoy working with teenagers, young adults, adults, and families. I have experience in both inpatient and outpatient settings. working with people who have anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, grief, family conflict, or who are navigating difficult life transitions. I also enjoy working with people who are trying to figure out and achieve both short and long-term goals or are looking to improve their general stress levels and health. I often work with people who have problems in school, friend groups, family issues, trauma, or chronic mental health concerns.

Struggling to manage symptoms of trauma, anxiety, depression and the stress of life transitions? Life can be a difficult journey and everyone deserves someone who will listen, understand and support them through navigating tough obstacles. My mission is to work with others to increase their motivation to achieve goals, make positive changes and support them in reaching their full potential. I have experience working with children, adolescents and adults in a variety of settings to include residential treatment, schools and outpatient.

I have never met an addict or alcoholic with a drug or drinking problem. Does this sound strange? The fact is I've met hundreds of individuals with a solution that is no longer working. Drugs and alcohol have been the solution, not the problem. Addicts and Alcoholics have an above average intelligence and a highly sensitive nervous system. This combination is especially challenging in these unprecedented times when it is natural to reach for relief in the form of a substance or behavioral addiction. If your solution is no longer working, I am here to help. I have maintained sobriety for over nearly 40 years. It can be done.

Mostly, they learn how to enjoy their lives again...Whatever it is you're struggling with, I can help.
