Therapists in Maine

Hello. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, currently able to work with individuals residing in Pennsylvania, Delaware Washington, and Hawaii. As a mental health therapist, my focus areas include mood disorders (such as anxiety and depression), life coaching, career advising and women's issues. I worked in education for over 15 years prior to starting in the behavioral health field, and gained an abundance of experience with neurodiversity as it pertains to ADHD and learning differences as well. I'm happy to provide psychoeducation on these and other topics as well.

I have been a social worker for over 10 years. I graduated from Boston College and am an LICSW in Massachusetts. I am licensed in other states as well, and I have several years of experience in crisis counseling and helping people manage anxiety and depression. I specialize in short-term counseling by utilizing Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Mindfulness.

I'm a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker with 16 years of experience across medical and clinical settings. I support men, women, families, and couples navigating anxiety and depression while balancing work, relationships, and family life. My work helps clients gain clarity, stabilize emotions, and build practical skills that translate into healthier routines, stronger communication, and a renewed sense of control.

I understand that the issues weighing on you are important. I am here to support you through challenges like anxiety, depression, and trauma. With a goal to connect you with the resources needed for lasting, positive changes which empower you to live the life you envision. My approach is rooted in empathy, understanding, and a deep commitment to empowering my clients to thrive, without judgment. I utilize evidence-based therapies that foster growth, resilience, and self-awareness.

Welcome. I'm Shannon Trainor, LCSW, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with more than 20 years of experience supporting adults, adolescents, and families through life's most difficult challenges. I specialize in working with individuals struggling with substance use and addiction, trauma, anxiety, depression, eating disorders, relationship concerns, and family dynamics. My approach is warm, collaborative, and direct. I strive to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients feel supported, understood, and empowered to make meaningful changes. Drawing from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills, and Solution-Focused Therapy, I tailor treatment to each individual's unique experiences, strengths, and goals. I believe that lasting change comes from a combination of self-awareness, practical skills, and compassionate accountability. Whether you are seeking healing from past experiences, navigating a current life challenge, or simply looking to live with greater clarity and balance, I am committed to helping you move forward with confidence and purpose.

My approach is often conversational, and straightforward. I believe there is room for some laughter in therapy, even when we’re talking about difficult things. If I can help you feel comfortable enough to be honest and occasionally laugh at the ridiculousness of life, I consider that a win. I’ll meet you with compassion, but I’ll also challenge you when it can help you grow. Drawing from approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Motivational Interviewing, mindfulness-based therapy, and trauma-focused care, we’ll work together to better understand what’s happening beneath the surface, build on your strengths, and develop practical tools that fit your life.

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.

As a licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida and Maine, I have had much success in helping patients in overcoming challenges with depression, anxiety, anger, PTSD, self-esteem, social skills and communication to name a few. After seeing many successes with my patients, I have come to fully trust in the therapeutic process as an important and effective tool in helping individuals to overcome mental health challenges and experience tremendous growth in many areas of their lives.

Greetings, I am glad you are here! You are exercising courage right now as you search for a provider but finding someone to meet your needs can be daunting! So read on and don't stop until you have someone you can trust in your corner! We heal through connection and my style reflects that person centered framework. I will come beside you and help you feel safe and confident that you will be seen and heard without judgment. I will answer your questions and if I don't know, I will work to connect you to resources or information. I have decades of experience and training and I've been through my share of hardships. So I am a clinician and a client. I'm a mother and grandmother. I'm an artist and a researcher. Music, creativity and nature are my outlets. I'm genuine and grateful that I can help others. I hope to offer that to you. Therapy is not a one size fits all service so I will treat you as an individual who may be overwhelmed with emotions, thoughts and behavior. I understand how trauma, early childhood experiences and grief can impact our functioning. I know that substance misuse can impact our health. I understand that life adjustments like marriage, having children, and career moves can rattle us and cause emotional distress . I also know that many struggle in silence and feel all alone. The problems don't resolve if not addressed and connection is key!

I believe therapy should be a place where you feel heard, understood, and supported without judgment. My style is warm, collaborative, and practical, combining compassion with evidence-based strategies to help you make meaningful changes. I work with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, insomnia, substance use concerns, and life stressors. Together, we'll build on your strengths, develop effective coping skills, and work toward the life you want to create.

With more than fifteen years of experience in social services, I have had the privilege of working with clients from a wide range of backgrounds. These experiences deeply impact my approach as a mental health professional. Before becoming a Licensed Professional Counselor, I earned a Bachelor of Science in Sociology and a Master of Science in Counseling. I currently provide psychotherapy for adolescents and adults navigating anxiety, depression, stress, and phase‑of‑life transitions.

Hi, I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida and am also licensed in Maine (LCPC). I received my masters in Rehabilitation and Mental Health from the University of South Florida. I work with my clients on their mental health struggles (trauma/PTSD, depression, anxiety, mood disorders, addiction, and coping skills to name a few) to enable them to manage their mental health so it is not interfering with their daily functioning and they can be the best version of themselves.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over a decade of experience in the mental health field, I’ve had the privilege of supporting clients across the lifespan, including children, teens, and adults. I’m certified in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Solution-Focused Therapy, and I integrate mindfulness as a core component of my therapeutic approach. I hold specialized certifications in treating anxiety, depression, and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), with a particular focus on working with veterans. I am a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCPT). My goal is to create a safe, compassionate space that fosters trust and open communication.

I am a therapist and homesteader. I am from Massachusetts, and live in Maine. I've had several experiences that help me understand the struggles of folks who are adjusting to a new environment. Clients find me down to earth, the type of therapist who likes to laugh and will call you out sometimes. Everyone has qualities that can help them heal, but there are times when the right support can be so valuable. I aim to attune with my clients and for my sessions to be encouraging, clarifying, and empowering.

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.

Hi, I’m Dr. Tracy LaChapelle, MA, LPC, LCPC, Ed.D ("Dr. T"). (***Any usage of “Dr.” and “Doctor” is for the purpose of being a Licensed Clinical Therapist: Not a medical doctor; does not prescribe medication). I’m here to help you navigate life’s challenges with confidence and compassion. I draw on evidence-based, trauma-informed care to support you if you’re working through trauma, depression, anxiety, loneliness, ADHD, or other forms of neurodiversity, disabilities, self-esteem concerns, social anxiety, autism, or major life transitions. I’m also deeply committed to providing Gender-Affirming Care, and I strive to offer a safe, inclusive, and non-judgmental space where you can explore your identity, feel supported, and experience genuine acceptance. I believe therapy isn’t about changing who you are—it’s about discovering your strengths and supporting you in becoming your truest self. Together, we’ll move at your pace as you heal, grow, and thrive.

I'm a Bilingual Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology, with 19 years of clinical experience, 15 years licensed within private practice. I consider myself to be bicultural. Having been raised as a first-generation American in a Latin family, I can identify with the mentality of someone living within two "worlds". Transitioning from one culture to another with seemingly different values, beliefs and language. I can easily understand the struggle that maintaining, and existing in both, can sometimes be. I've come to perceive and appreciate it as the gift of having a "bridge" that allows connection to, and understanding of, different aspects of people and life. My education has a foundation in Clinical Psychology, woven with holistic transpersonal themes, the connection between mind, body, and spirit, and just plain down-to-earth common sense. Always keeping in mind the client's personal beliefs and values.

I have been a therapist for 20 years, and am also a Certified Grief Counselor. I also have experience in corrections, substance abuse clinics, and residential treatment facilities.

Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, seeking clarity, looking to make sense of it all, or just need space to breathe, please reach out. I’d be happy to help.
