6 therapists in Maine matching your needs

Well, hello there :) It is nice to see you here. Are you struggling to exist within the constructs of late-stage capitalism? The pain inside of you is reflective of the collective chaos outside of you. Your feelings are valid. 🫂 If this resonates with you, look no further. Your anti-capitalist therapist is here. As a potential client, you should be aware of the lens I look through + the privileges I hold. I am white, cis-gender and queer. I am Autistic, ADHD and a survivor of the mental health industrial complex. I am the eldest daughter of an immigrant. I am in the colonized portion of Wabanaki territory now known as Mount Desert Island, Maine. My clients utilize therapy to zoom out on societal systems and structures and delve deep into their own psyches. Session time will be spent exploring your family system, attachment style and how systems of oppression such as ableism may have influenced your access to the support you have always deserved. The therapeutic bond we build is where the work starts. I serve as a warm witness as you begin the work of unlearning & healing. My approach to therapy is transpersonal, humanistic and deep. As our work together evolves, I will begin to recognize your patterns in relationship. My clients are Neurodivergent (many times undiagnosed/late diagnosed), queer, intelligent, self-reflective, symbolic thinkers who are interested in understanding themselves and how their early childhood experiences shaped their relational patterns today. I work with "Talented & Gifted burn-out kids" who finally feel safe to un-mask. My clients are highly intuitive, empathetic and sensitive, sometimes to a fault. I work with recovering people-pleasers who question authority & are engaged in breaking cycles of generational trauma.

Hi there! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in the states of Florida and Maine with over 10 years of clinical experience. I specialize in working with adults and teens struggling with issues related to stress and coping with life’s changes, anxiety, trauma, identity, body image, self-esteem, and LBTQIA+. I earned my undergraduate degree from Mary Baldwin University in Staunton Virginia where I majored in Sociology. I continued my education at Springfield College in Springfield Massachusetts and earned my master's degree in Social Work.

People can make better decisions if they have enough information and understanding about how counseling works. Here are some aspects of counseling and therapy as I perceive and practice it: Therapeutic counseling requires your active involvement including efforts to change any self-defeating thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. You will be asked to work both in and out of the therapeutic counseling sessions. I may occasionally request that you do “homework” (ok-not a formal request because life happens and inevitably it will be that you have life duties to attend to but maybe jotting things down or making notes for yourself kind of homework) by way of providing you with further reinforcement to concepts discussed in session or simply to prompt further insight and self- exploration. There are no instant, painless, or passive cures, no “magic pills”. Instead, there will be ongoing personal and spiritual growth that can occur with your conscious effort. Most likely, you will need to work on improving stress management, cognitions (e.g. beliefs and thought processes), emotional health, relationships, and your general lifestyle if counseling is to be successful. Sometimes change will be relatively easy but more often change takes much effort, time, and persistence. My hope for you is that you grow into your best self in the present and that that allows you to be your best version for your future. Therapy is about YOU and your needs. I specialize in trauma, mood, and anxiety disorders and am an LGBTQ++ ally and kink-aware professional.
