My name is Andrew Maihos I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker practicing in Massachusetts, Vermont, and New Hampshire. I have been working in human services since 2011 and have been practicing as a counselor since 2016. I have worked in a wide variety of settings including schools, prisons, substance abuse treatment facilities, and mental health centers. I have experience working with all age groups and a wide variety of mental health/substance use disorders. I would describe myself as non-judgmental, easy going, and empathetic. I greatly value accountability, candor, and self-reflection in the treatment process.
It will typically be a blend of getting to know each other, me providing some psychoeducation, and beginning an exploration into a person's world view and their path to therapy.
Showing up everyday ready to listen is my biggest strength. Self awareness is crucial to being an effective therapist and practicing self-care consistently is what helps us to progress, grow, and achieve within our careers and our personal lives. I live the values, skills, and behaviors that I talk with my clients about and I believe in these strategies and approaches because I have seen them work.
Life can feel overwhelming at times, especially when anxiety, stress, or ADHD make it hard to manage daily challenges or maintain fulfilling relationships. As a licensed clinical social worker (LICSW) with experience in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and mindfulness-based approaches, I’m here to help you navigate those struggles and find practical, sustainable solutions.
