DBT Therapists in Maine

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.

With a deep passion for breaking the stigma surrounding addiction and mental health, I have dedicated the last ten years to assisting individuals who grapple with the complex interplay of mental health issues and underlying substance abuse. I’ve witnessed how the societal stigma often conceals the very real barriers individuals face in their daily lives. My mission is to empower them with coping skills and strategies that allow them to embrace a life of recovery and resilience. As a therapist, I focus on guiding patients towards building essential skills to overcome their challenges. I believe that mental health issues come in myriad forms, and it is our duty to provide support, unburdened by negative stereotypes and judgment. Together, let’s shatter the silence and create a path towards hope, recovery and well-being.

Hi There! I'm Raquel, I specialize in helping adults find healing and lasting recovery from symptoms of anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship challenges. I work with clients who are seeking positive change, personal growth, and a deeper understanding of themselves, but don't yet have the tools needed to make this goal a reality. My approach to therapy is focused on building trust, promoting self-awareness, and empowerment. I integrate trauma-informed care, strength base, and harm reduction to help my clients with quicker healing and lasting recovery. I use a variety of methods and techniques, such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and EMDR. I recognize that therapy is not easy, I offer a safe judgment free space. I aim to create a nurturing and supportive environment where you feel understood and validated in your experiences. I believe in working in partnership with my clients, utilizing their hidden strengths to help sort out difficulties and achieve peace of mind. Hola! ofrezco terapia individual en línea para adultos de todas las edades.

Mi enfoque terapéutico se centra en el trauma y es holístico, lo que ayuda a mis clientes a sanar más rápidamente y lograr una recuperación duradera. Mi enfoque se adapta a cada persona, utilizando EMDR, CBT, DBT.

I work best with clients who want a therapist who is direct and actively engaged in the process. I believe therapy should feel like a partnership, not a place you're talked at or judged. I feel strongly about the alliance feeling comfortable and natural. I'll always meet you where you're at and help you challenge patterns that may no longer be serving you.

I help clients who feel overwhelmed by worry, racing thoughts, tension, fear, or the sense that they cannot fully relax. My goal is to help you recognize the strength already within you and learn practical ways to feel calmer and more in control. Because anxiety is shaped by each person’s upbringing, life experiences, thought patterns, and current circumstances, I take time to understand your unique story. Together, we can identify what is fueling your anxiety and create a path toward greater confidence, progress, and peace.

Do you hope to achieve greater balance and fulfillment in your life, or to better understand yourself? Whether you are experiencing mental and behavioral health symptoms, feeling stuck in unhelpful patterns, struggling to navigate change, or searching for a clearer sense of self and purpose, I look forward to working with you. I have several years of experience providing psychotherapy for adults with a wide range of behavioral health concerns including depression, anxiety, OCD, phobias, bipolar disorder, trauma and substance use. This work often includes navigating identity exploration, relational challenges, and life transitions. No matter what brings you to therapy, my focus is on supporting you on your journey of healing and growth.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 10 years of experience supporting individuals with complex and high acuity mental health needs. My work is grounded in trauma informed and trauma responsive care, with a strong commitment to creating inclusive, affirming spaces for BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, neurodivergent clients, and individuals in rural communities. I work across the lifespan, including children (7+), adults, older adults, families, and couples. My approach is collaborative and empowering, centered on the belief that clients are the experts in their own lives and require my clinical expertise. I often describe my role as “working myself out of a job” to help clients build the insight, skills, and confidence needed to advocate for themselves and navigate systems independently. As a trauma specialist, I tailor evidence based interventions to each client’s identities, needs, strengths, and goals. My primary approaches include Somatic Therapy, Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)-(EMDRIA certification pending), Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and psychodynamic therapy. I also integrate Internal Family Systems informed interventions, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, exposure based strategies, mindfulness, and other approaches as clinically appropriate. I adapt treatment for neurodivergent clients and clients with intellectual or developmental disabilities because therapy should adjust to the person and not require the person to adjust to therapy. I am continually shaped by the courage, insight, and lived experiences clients bring into our work. Every advanced training, specialty, certification, and state license reflect lessons learned from clients. I carry their trust, stories, and influence into every session with gratitude and responsibility.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Licensed Clinical Addiction Specialist with over 18 years of experience in mental health and addiction counseling field. I am licensed in South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia, Utah, and Maine. My career has included extensive work with Veterans, Active Duty personnel, and federal employees, providing trauma informed care. I have a background in women's health issues, POTS, EDS / hEDS, MCAS, MCTD, RA, Lupus, perimenopause, and other autoimmune and chronic illnesses that need therapy supports. I specialize in Women's mental health, Recovery, ADHD and supporting neurodivergent adults, LGBTQIA+ individuals, mental health issues due to chronic pain and medical trauma, trauma survivors, addiction, burnout, anxiety, women’s issues, and major life transitions. My approach is nonjudgmental and trauma informed, meeting clients where they are with curiosity and compassion while creating a space for authentic growth and understanding. I value appropriate self disclosure when it supports the therapeutic process and use my training and lived experience to help clients develop tools that genuinely serve them. My work draws from an eclectic foundation that includes Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Solution Focused Therapy, Polyvagal Theory, and Somatic approaches. I also integrate alternative and mind body methods that expand healing beyond traditional talk therapy, supporting both emotional and physiological well-being. I practice from an intersectional perspective, recognizing that our identities; race, gender, sexuality, neurotype, ability, culture, and lived experience intersect to shape how we move through the world and how the world responds to us. Healing requires honoring all of those parts. I believe neurodivergence is not something to be fixed, but understood, supported, and celebrated. Therapy is a space to learn your brain, not fight against it, to understand how it works, and build systems of support that honor your authentic wiring.
