Attachment-Based Therapy Therapists in Maine

Hi, I'm Amber. I believe many of us spend years trying to find where we belong. Along the way, we learn how to adapt. We become who others need us to be, who our families expect us to be, who our workplaces reward us for being, who our relationships require us to be, or who feels easiest to love, understand, accept, or choose. Sometimes we become the peacekeeper. Sometimes the achiever. Sometimes the caretaker. Sometimes the one who stays quiet. Sometimes the one who becomes whatever is needed to maintain connection, acceptance, or belonging. Over time, it can become difficult to tell which parts of us feel genuinely ours and which parts developed in response to fear, loneliness, rejection, expectations, workplace demands, relationships, or the longing to be seen, understood, valued, accepted, and chosen. If you've found yourself asking questions like, "Why do I always feel different?", "Why do I feel like I don't quite fit?", "Why am I never chosen?", "Who am I beneath everyone else's expectations?", or "What parts of me no longer feel like mine?", you're not alone. I work best with adults navigating life transitions, grief, relationship challenges, identity shifts, or seasons of feeling disconnected from themselves. My work focuses on helping people explore these questions with curiosity and compassion, reconnect with the vibrant, authentic, parts of themselves that may have been buried beneath years of adaptation, and cultivate a stronger sense of belonging to themselves. I don't believe my role is to tell you who you are. I believe the most meaningful answers are rarely given to us. They are uncovered. My role is to help you slow down, become curious about your story, listen more closely to your voice, and reconnect with the parts of yourself that have been there all along.

Hi, I’m glad you’re here and taking this step toward finding the right support. Choosing a therapist is an important decision, and I hope this helps you get a sense of whether I might be a good fit for you. I bring over 20 years of experience working in the mental health field and am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Maine and West Virginia. I earned my undergraduate degree from West Virginia University and completed my master’s degree at the University of Denver. Throughout my career, I’ve worked with youth and adults navigating trauma, grief and loss, and major life transitions. These experiences have shaped my belief that healing looks different for everyone, and that therapy works best when it’s collaborative, respectful, and paced to your needs. No matter what brings you to therapy, my goal is to support you in creating meaningful change and moving toward the life you want—together.

Much of the human experience is shaped by relationships and attachment. Our early attachment experiences influence how we connect, communicate, and relate to others throughout life. When these patterns no longer serve us, they can create distress and disconnection in our relationships. I work with people from all walks of life who want to better understand their attachment patterns, break unhelpful cycles, challenge limiting core beliefs, and improve communication. My goal is to support meaningful change that fosters healthier, more secure, and fulfilling relationships. I am a holistic, person-centered marriage and family therapist with specialized training in attachment theory and relational healing. I support individuals, couples, and families who struggle to feel understood, express emotions, or have their needs met, helping foster safety, connection, and meaningful change. My approach is rooted in the belief that connection is at the heart of healing. When individuals feel seen, heard, and valued, they are better able to access their strengths, build insight, and create meaningful change. I strive to create a safe, supportive space where clients can explore their experiences without judgment and with genuine curiosity. I work collaboratively with clients, recognizing them as the experts of their own lives. Together, we identify patterns, strengthen communication, and develop practical tools that support healthier relationships with others and with oneself. I also believe in the resilience and capacity for growth within every person and family. Even in moments of disconnection, pain, or uncertainty, there is opportunity for repair, understanding, and transformation. My role is not to direct, but to guide, to help clients reconnect with their values, deepen their relationships, and move toward a more grounded and fulfilling life.

If you’re here, you might be carrying pain that started long before adulthood—pain from childhood experiences, family dynamics, or relationships that taught you to stay small, silent, or strong for others. You might still hear those old internal messages: “I’m not enough,” “I’m too much,” or “I have to hold everything together.” I want you to know: you don’t have to carry this alone anymore. I’m a trauma-informed therapist specializing in EMDR, DBT, CBT, and inner child work. I help trauma survivors, anxious overthinkers, chronic self-critics, and those healing from emotionally complicated families reconnect with themselves and build a life that feels safe, calm, and authentic. I bring five years of experience working with individuals who feel stuck between who they are and who they want to become. My style is warm, grounding, and collaborative. I show up as a real human—not a distant clinician—offering a balance of compassion, clarity, and practical tools. I help you understand your emotional world, reconnect with the parts of you that learned to survive, and begin healing the inner child who deserved more care, safety, and love than they received. In therapy, you’ll learn to regulate overwhelming emotions, break cycles of self-doubt, understand your triggers, and finally build a healthier, more compassionate relationship with yourself. I work from a place of inclusivity, authenticity, and deep respect for your lived experience. If you’re ready to stop surviving and start truly living—to feel safer in your body, kinder toward yourself, and more connected to who you were meant to be—I’m here to walk beside you. Your healing starts now.

Hi, my name is Shannon and I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social worker based in Boston, MA. I provide therapy via telehealth for adults seeking greater balance, fulfillment, and a deeper understanding of themselves. My focus is on supporting adults as they navigate behavioral health concerns such as depression, anxiety, OCD, and phobias, as well as identity exploration, relationship challenges, and life transitions. Whether you are feeling stuck in unhelpful patterns, struggling to navigate change, or searching for clearer sense of self and purpose, I look forward to supporting you on your path of healing and growth.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over a decade of experience helping people heal from trauma, navigate life transitions, and reconnect with themselves in meaningful ways. Originally from Maine, my journey has taken me across the US, different countries, and through many different communities, including serving in the U.S. Air Force. These experiences continue to shape my approach—bringing structure, adaptability, and a deep respect for each person’s story. My clinical background includes extensive work with military members, veterans, first responders, and women facing anxiety, self-worth challenges, and complex relational or identity struggles. I understand what it means to carry invisible weight—and how important it is to have a safe space to unpack it. I specialize in trauma-informed care, using EMDR, Brainspotting, somatic therapy, and attachment-based approaches to support deep, lasting healing. I take a bottom-up perspective, helping clients explore how the body holds on to difficult experiences and gently work through what’s been stuck. I also integrate CBT and Emotion-Focused Therapy to support insight, emotional regulation, and self-compassion. Clients often describe me as grounding, warm, and collaborative—with just the right amount of directness. I believe healing isn’t about fixing what’s broken, but about reconnecting with your own inner strength, clarity, and capacity to grow. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, uncertain, or stuck, you’re not alone. I’ll meet you where you are, and together we’ll move toward clarity, healing, and a stronger sense of self.
