Therapists in Skowhegan, ME

I meet people where they are on their path in life, and provide a safe space with emotional and intellectual support grounded in these principles: Genuineness / No judgment and unconditional acceptance, regardless of what is shared / Active, deep listening with empathy, understanding and compassion / Experienced, skilled support with practical feedback and insights / Assistance in exploring, identifying and working towards meaningful personal goals / Helping people address current and/or past life challenges such as depression, anxiety, grief, stress, anger, and trauma.

Living with mental health issues restricts the quality of life. I work with individuals, couples, families, groups, adults, adolescents, and children to combat the effects of trauma, stressors, and factors that prevent them from living the life they want to lead. This is my mission.

I am a psychologist who works with adults in individual and group psychotherapy. My approach is integrative in nature meaning that, depending on the needs of my clients, I seek to relieve distress through providing emotion regulation and other skills while also working towards long-term change by gaining insight into problematic thought patterns and relationship cycles. I specialize in working with clients who are seeking therapy for emotion- and relationship-based problems, including depression, anxiety, trauma, and anger issues.

In my practice I work with adults dealing with a variety of issues, including relationship issues, self esteem, depression, anxiety, loss/grief, work issues, trauma, PTSD, sexual abuse, family issues, issues with food/weight, addictions, and anger. We all face life and interpersonal challenges at times, and it can be very helpful to meet with someone who has comfort in dealing with a variety of life stressors. I welcome ALL who want to improve the quality of their life and/or relationships and are open to sharing their story.

Counseling is a journey and in that I feel there most important factor is establishing a solid therapeutic alliance. In this we will work to develop options and opportunities to aid in your journey.

Are you struggling with grief over losses, relationship issues, setting boundaries, anxiety, depression, parenting, etc.? I am trained to help with emotional, psychological and faith issues (if they are relevant to you), with no interest in "converting" anyone to any particular faith. I offer compassionate, non-judgmental help, grateful for the opportunity to accompany you on your journey of healing, self-growth. I have been offering Telehealth sessions (audio or video, your choice) for adults 21+ since completing specific training during the pandemic.

I have never met an addict or alcoholic with a drug or drinking problem. Does this sound strange? The fact is I've met hundreds of individuals with a solution that is no longer working. Drugs and alcohol have been the solution, not the problem. Addicts and Alcoholics have an above average intelligence and a highly sensitive nervous system. This combination is especially challenging in these unprecedented times when it is natural to reach for relief in the form of a substance or behavioral addiction. If your solution is no longer working, I am here to help. I have maintained sobriety for over nearly 40 years. It can be done.

I believe in the uniqueness of each human being and that all people have inherent strengths. I know when a person seeks counseling it is because he/she is feeling overwhelmed or stuck. In the safety of a professional helping relationship you will address those areas as well as recognize and utilize your own strengths so you can move forward to resolve your problems. I work with people on a variety of difficult life issues and I meet each person where they are at. In addition to helping individual adults, I work with parents, families and children ages 7-18.

Are you ready for change in your life? Do you want healing from past traumas, disappointments or losses? Do you want to feel your in control of your life, and be able to deal with issues causing distress? As your Therapist, I am committed to working with you to progress toward meeting your goals. I believe in your ability to achieve them. I offer you a genuine, caring, non-judgmental, professional relationship where you will feel comfortable and be able to accomplish positive growth. I welcome a call from you with any questions. Let's work together toward your wellness!

I specialize in working with older adolescents, young adults through adult who are struggling with behavioral/emotional/or cognitive symptoms related to anxiety and trauma especially developmental trauma. Developmental trauma unlike an intense event, happens through our developmental growth period it is how we learned to see ourselves, sense our own innate human value and how we interacted with the world. This may show up in your life as perfectionism, difficulty doing boundaries or being assertive, difficulty with self care etc. I utilize experiential neuroscience and trauma interventions to help identify and break through barriers

I understand how difficult it can be to reach out for help, especially to a complete stranger! If you are reading this, you've probably tried everything you can think of to improve your current situation on your own. My hope is you'll find something in this profile that resonates with you and prompts you to call me. Together, through a trusting therapeutic relationship, we can get to the heart of your issue. Working at your own pace, you'll begin the process of healing, and gain some important tools to keep your life in balance.

Reaching out for help is the first step in taking back control, breaking the cycle, and becoming empowered. It takes strength and courage to say "I want better...I deserve better." That journey begins here. While life can present difficulties, hardships, and uncertainty, there is resilience in you - that ability to adapt, bounce back, and overcome. Depending on what you have been through, that resilience might feel buried or unreachable. We will find it, strengthen it, and utilize it to break down barriers. Together.

Immediate openings available. The things we find difficult in life come in many different guises. They can be challenging to navigate alone. Relationship issues, death of a loved one, depression and anxiety can become part of anyone's life at any time. If you are finding life challenging right now you may feel you would like support and this is where therapy can help.
