5 therapists in Maine matching your needs

I understand that sometimes life can be challenging and can hinder personal growth, happiness, relationships, quality of life, professional success, parenting among other things. You feel like you are spinning your wheels but not going anywhere. You feel exhausted, overwhelmed, anxious, apathetic, sad and/or irritated. You may be surprised to know that there are ways to cope with these feelings so you can grab the reigns and get back on that horse! You want to create meaningful changes but aren’t sure where to start. I believe that the catalyst to that change exists within each of us, sometimes we need a little help to find it. I have experience working with older adults, adults, (teens 17+), veterans, active-duty military and their families, college students, EMS personnel, and caregivers in the treatment of mental health and life transition issues, marital issues, interpersonal issues, deployment, military separation, reunification, divorce, pregnancy, work and school issues, parenting and end of life issues (grief/placement). I can also provide case-management services, life coaching and ESA evaluations/letters.

Hello and thank you for visiting my profile! Reaching out for help is a big step for many people and I truly appreciate your courage and willingness to lean into growth and problem-solving! I am excited to get to know more about you and how I might be helpful or supportive. I operate from a strong relationally-based approach that is client-centered, solution-focused, and non-judgmental. I am very committed to building rapport, open communication, and assisting in helping you meet the goals you set, at the pace that you feel is appropriate. I believe in creating a nurturing, comfortable, and safe space for expression that promotes authentic exploration and insight. To tell you a bit about myself, I have been an independently licensed social worker since 2013. I earned my undergraduate degree in psychology from Wheaton College in Massachusetts (2006) and my master's degree in social work from the University of New England in Maine (2010). I spent much of my earlier professional career working with children/adolescents, young adults, and families, primarily within the confluence of mental health and education, before transitioning into private practice. My clinical approach and style is always crafted for the person/people sitting in front of me, drawing influence from Cognitive Behavioral, Behavioral, Dialectical Behavioral, Humanistic, and Somatic forms of Therapy (among others), including techniques in mindfulness, rational emotive therapy, applied behavioral analysis, family systems, relational therapy, and narrative therapy. We will work together to figure out what you are comfortable exploring and how I can be most effective in helping you to reach your goals. My therapeutic skillset is strongest with individual challenges related to behavioral/emotional management (such as coping with strong feelings or life events, self-control, child/adolescent social/emotional/behavioral struggles), identity formation/re-formation/life transitions (exploring feelings of being lost or alone, questions such as, "Who am I? How do I figure out who I am/who I want to be/what I want to do with my life moving forward? How have/are experiences and influences affecting my sense of self and others?"), and relational dynamics (family systems, parent/child relationships, sibling relationships, and peer relationships). I am also well-practiced in working with people who are struggling with symptoms of anxiety, depression, and trauma. As stated above, it takes courage and strength to lean into putting the work into actively creating change in a positive direction. The fact that you are here reading profiles is an accomplishment to be celebrated! I am here for you if/when you are ready, and look forward to celebrating your future achievements!

Hello, I am an experienced clinical trauma professional who engages in a holistic mind, body, and spirit approach in my work with racially, economically, sexually, and culturally diverse persons. As a licensed clinical social worker, clinical trauma professional, and mental health integrative medicine professional, I focus on the clients as people, not as conditions or as diagnoses. In working with chronically and complexly traumatized individuals, couples, and families I recognize and interact with clients affirming that they are deserving of empathy, respect, and dignity. To this end, the treatment methods I use are tailored and combined to meet the needs of each specific individual, couple, and family I work with. I counsel clients who are struggling with traumatic stress disorders, mood disorders, anxiety disorders, problem behaviors, and addictive behaviors. The healing journey intentionally addresses the whole person: body, mind, and spirit. Evidenced-based traditional, holistic, and expressively creative client-centered therapeutic processes and interventions are used to help clients overcome limiting, self-defeating thoughts & feelings about self-worth, relationships, and patterns of choices that lead to dysfunctional behaviors. Clients learn to manage the underlying issues that interfere with family, social, vocational, or educational functioning.

Hello, I'm Michaela! Are you looking for a safe place to be yourself and open up about difficult things? I recognize the strength it takes to open up and be vulnerable, and I would be honored to be a part of your healing journey! I believe I have a calming and empathetic nature that will make the clients that I work with feel right at home. Not to mention, I like to sprinkle in a bit of humor and creativity. Do you ever feel stuck in life and you're hoping for change? I seek to nurture positive growth and change. Ultimately, my primary goal is to create a nonjudgmental space for clients to authentically be themselves and heal.
