Therapists in Maine

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.

Born and raised in the inner city by a single mother and a large extended family, I noticed the needs of those that were mentally or physically diagnosed were often not met. Therefore, I began to inquire about what I needed to do in order to be a part of the solution. I began to work in the field and I have worked in Behavioral/Mental Health for close to 20 years. My experience covers a plethora of ages and diagnosis across many settings. My determination to treat and support those with mental health diagnosis during the pandemic inspired me to perform outpatient therapy via telehealth to adults and adolescents. I specialize in adults 25-55 with various diagnoses but primarily Anxiety, PTSD, trauma and Depression to name a few. I love to utilize CBT, CPT, trauma informed care (TIC) and Motivational Interviewing as treatment modalities.

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.

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.

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.

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 can be honest, feel understood, and still be challenged to grow. I work with adults navigating addiction and recovery, trauma, anxiety, life transitions, and relationship challenges. My approach is warm, direct, practical, and judgment-free, with a focus on helping you understand what keeps you stuck and build a life that actually feels like yours.

Hello, I'm Tamesha Wiggins, a client centered psychotherapist passionate about helping people feel seen, heard, and understood. If you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or emotionally exhausted please know you don't have to go through it alone. I offer a safe, non-judgmental space where you can explore what's weighing on you and begin to heal at your own pace. I work with adults, couples, families, and older adults facing a wide range of challenges, including anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and the deep often invisible wounds left by narcissistic abuse and divorce.

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.

You look like you’re holding it together, but inside you feel overwhelmed, anxious, or disconnected. I help individuals and couples manage anxiety, burnout, relationship stress, and life transitions so they can feel calmer, more connected, more in control, and more like themselves. Over 130 clients have rated their experience working with me 4.9/5. My approach is supportive, practical, and focused on helping you create real change—not just talk about problems in a way that feels meaningful.

Hi! I'm a LCMHCS, LPCS, LCAS, CCS based in North Carolina and practicing in NC, SC, GA, TX, AZ, MA, ME, RI, NH and US VI. I received my Doctorate in Counseling Psychology from Argosy University and two Masters from Webster University in Counseling and Health Administration. I have been practicing for over 20 years and enjoy working with a diverse population of people. I have several areas of expertise and enjoy using them to support my clients in their overall life goals and plans for success.

Hello!! And, Welcome! Looking forward to meeting you!! I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I am licensed in Kentucky, Indiana, Kansas, Maine, Utah, and Nevada. I received my Masters from Western Kentucky University, and have been practicing for 30 years. I help individuals, and couples to overcome "old programming", develop new and healing ways to see themselves and life, and utilize places of self-empowerment. Helping to increase one's relationship with oneself helps one to have greater relationships with others, and all other parts of life.

I am a licensed clinical social worker with a diverse background in mental health care across various settings and states. Outpatient therapy and telehealth therapy services are my primary focus. My approach to therapy is rooted in empathy, understanding, and respect for each client's unique experiences and emotions. I strive to create a safe, supportive space where individuals can explore their challenges, build resilience, and work toward meaningful change.

As a licensed mental health counselor with over 30 years of experience, I primarily work with individuals experiencing anxiety and trauma. I use cognitive and mind-body techniques to help people settle their bodies and avoid getting caught in unhelpful thought patterns. I am passionate about helping people to identify and move toward their values...the things that matter to them the most in life, in order to have a more fulfilling life.

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.

I am excited about the success my clients have accomplished. It is their discovery that is most interesting: for example, it is possible to change personality even though we have always been told it never happens! We approach this by exploring emotions that form the building blocks of personality. In this sort of work, I find that the most effective therapy happens when clients and I form a interpersonal therapeutic bond of trust. By the way, when I say that change is possible , I really believe it, and I am confident that if you are willing to work on what many would call impossible...building trust...you will leave our sessions feeling a sense of increased wholeness. (Today also marks the beginning of a new partnership with Teach America! I have loved Teach America since they began. Grow Therapy and I are offering 20 counseling sessions to Teach America members free of charge!)

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.

Hello, I'm Laura, a dedicated therapist licensed in NJ, FL, VT, and Maine. I specialize in helping women who feel anxious, unseen, or emotionally stuck in their relationships reconnect with their self-worth and boundaries. My work focuses on healing attachment wounds, calming emotional reactivity, and building healthier patterns of connection. Together we move beyond self-blame and confusion toward grounded confidence, clarity, and the capacity to feel safe being fully yourself — both alone and in love.

Hi there! I am glad you're here. I'm a Missourian turned Mainer who is fascinated by entering into the process of change with fellow humans. Over the last 9 years I've had the privilege of providing therapy in community mental health settings, working with folks from across the country and around the globe.

When I'm not in a therapy session, you might find me chasing my toddler down the beach with a good cup of coffee in hand, singing, or making a corny joke.
