Therapists Beginning With L in Vermont

Have you awakened and are struggling to navigate the 3D world? Do you identify as an empath, a WooWoo or on the Red Road? Are you feeling isolated and disconnected because your vibration has increased and created more challenges in relationships? While on this life's journey, have you realized that you experienced trauma in childhood and don't know how to take the next step to heal these wounds? These experiences could be causing anxiety and depression, deflating your self worth and disrupting your focus and sleep.

I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor as well as a Licensed Alcohol & Drug Counselor, experienced working with adolescents, adults, and families with issues around substance abuse, depression, anxiety, self harm, suicidal ideation, grief and loss, and end of life issues. My role is to help you in uncovering answers and to support you in your healing and development. I have great respect for your autonomy and your ability to be empowered to determine your own path, solutions, and direction in life.

I offer counseling to individual adults. Counseling happens best when there is mutual trust between the client and counselor. I offer a safe and supportive environment so my clients can explore their thoughts and emotions. I strive to help clients help themselves by providing tools to affect change in their lives and to understand the meaning behind feelings and behaviors. Counseling involves the sharing of personal problems, concern, and stories. As a professional, I am committed to helping my clients find resolution or solutions for their particular situations.

Anxiety, depression or past trauma are holding you back. Everyone else seems to have it together, so why don’t you? It’s like you missed school the day they taught the secret to life. You see photos online of your friend celebrating her new promotion. Another friend just sent you an invitation to her baby shower. You wish you could be happy for them, but watching those around you accomplish their goals is hard when you’re not even sure what your goals are. You do know that this isn't working. Your job is dull and draining, and your last Tinder date was a disaster. You’re stuck! Something needs to change, and soon.

If you are looking for a non-traditional, creative and expansive therapeutic modality and are sensitive to music, I may be the right fit for you. Music therapy provides the opportunity to work beyond words and is guided by your own timing and inner resources. Many clients find that they are able to get to the heart of their issues more directly with the aid of music and imagery. They often feel more creative, less stressed and experience increased self esteem. I recommend a series of 6 sessions in order to have sufficient time and space to address your particular goal areas. Sessions can be bi-weekly and last between 1.5 to 2 hours.

At some point in our lives, most of us can use an experienced, confidential, objective, and non-judgemental professional to help support us through a challenging time.

I believe that everyone has the ability to heal and find their happiness in life. At times, we experience an event or events that may impact us in a way that we are unsure how to deal with and this can manifest in many ways. Whether you are a child coping with anxiety, trauma, or big emotions, or an adult struggling with a life change or mental health concerns, we all deserve empathy and support when tackling those difficult and often uncomfortable topics. It is my goal to create an environment where I am able to support and guide clients in being the best versions of themselves.

Collaborative counseling and consulting can help. Together we create a professional and purposeful space for reflection and decision making. I can help you navigate lasting change, overcome barriers, accelerate development, achieve balance and meet-or exceed-your goals. Strengths-based collaborative counseling for individuals and families helps to clarify and resolve conflicts and advance personal and professional growth. We work together to develop sustainable solutions, healthy relationships and mutual understanding.

Welcome! Are you looking for a way to break out of beliefs that keep you stuck and in pain? By working with your soul, you can move beyond what you have been taught or conditioned to believe and into who you truly are. Step into your own inherent freedom and joy by doing the inner work to shift your beliefs and stories. Together, we’ll lay the foundation for you to leap into your own available brilliance, abundance, and self-love, and say hello to your spirit. I work with both individuals and couples.

My practice has two parts, mental health counseling, and clinical supervision. My counseling practice is currently shifting from only talk therapy to now also including ketamine assisted therapy, and I am now offering in-person sessions in my cottage office in Calais. My clinical supervision and private practice training program offers pre-licensed therapists an opportunity to work and bill insurance while learning all aspects of private practice management.

Disclaimer: I only offer televideo sessions on Wednesday's from 4:30-7:30. I only take Medicaid, and offer a sliding scale of 60-120 per session. Everyone experiences situations in life that are challenging. We often develop ways to manage these situations that are adaptive at first, and can become harmful, in a variety of ways, later on. I believe, and work to help clients acknowledge, that all our behaviors were helpful at one point. By accepting this, we can move towards healthier coping with acceptance and compassion, for ourselves and others.

Life difficulties come in many forms, and our nervous systems can go into overdrive as we attempt to adapt. This can cause long-standing patterns in the mind and body. We may feel out of touch with who we are, or like we are repeating patterns of fight, flight, or freeze. If you are looking for less analysis and words, and are interested in working directly with your body through your felt experience, this may be a good fit for you. Using curiosity and building capacity, we'll find places where you are stuck, and create long-term pathways to feeling more embodied and free.

Sometimes life is complicated, stressful, and can feel overwhelming, especially in today's world. When interpersonal relationships, family dynamics, or mental health challenges present themselves it is comforting to know that you don't have to sit with all of that by yourself. Connecting with someone and working on life's difficulties, whether it be old wounds or new, can be liberating and empowering. Together we can explore your thoughts, feelings, and emotions; together we can work on the difficult and rewarding work of being the best version of yourself you can be.

“The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step”, Lao Tzu. You have taken your first courageous step toward creating a more enriching life. No one embarks on this journey of healing alone, as we all need and benefit from guidance. I embrace a holistic, integrative, person-centered and strengths-based approach to wellness, steeped in empathy and compassion. Like all healthy relationships, the client and therapist alliance must be built on a foundation of trust, from which we can explore whatever concerns you; be it anxiety, depression or life transitions that may be interfering with you living to your fullest potential.

I am passionate about people and the stories that make up our lives. I often lead with the question: "What is your story?" And follow with, "What do you want your story to become?" I have spent much of my life examining the roles and symbols embedded in our everyday life, using creativity, interpersonal techniques, to inform powerful personal change. I have over 20 years experience working in therapeutic settings, cultivating space to honor the healing process and narratives in all of us. My compass is driven by compassion, curiosity, creativity and always some laughter. I will hold the shadows but also make room for the light.

I see the human person as made up of body, mind, and spirit, and each dimension affects the other, especially during times of crisis, stress, transition, and disharmony. Currently I am seeing clients who have been working at therapy for a while and have made significant progress in feeling focused and grounded in their life, but also feel there is something still missing, and are able to name spirituality as the area that needs attention.

I am a licensed clinical social worker with twenty one years experience working with families and individuals of all ages. A recent client had this to say about our time together, "your healing energy and...comfort that you bring to your practice is so warming, safe and empowering. You have undoubtedly contributed to making me "me" during a time of transformation [and I} will always have your many perspectives tucked away in my brain for when things get tough"

Psychotherapy is a lifelong arduous learning and self exploration process that will improve the quality of life. I approach therapy with genuineness, unconditional positive regard, accurate empathy, and respect. I will competently employ techniques in which I have received training to assist you in reaching your goals. Technics I may use are EMDR, hypnosis, confrontation, desensitization, homework, humor, imagery, 'I' statements, modeling, psychodrama, journal writing and role-playing. If through the course of psychotherapy an acceptable degree of progress is not reached, I will refer you to another licensed professional.

I operate under the belief that mental health and wellness exists at the junction of the biological, social and psychological facets of an individual, and that a balance is needed to address the human condition. With this in mind even the most difficult of concerns to address can be a profound force for positive change in someone's life.
