Therapists in Portland, ME

Opening up to another individual about your mental health concerns and the pain you’ve experienced throughout your life is never easy. Stepping forward and admitting that you’re struggling is such a difficult step, so kudos to you for considering counseling. I work from a person centered perspective to meet you where you are in life, while keeping your mental health goals in mind. I’m a strong believer that our wellness is rooted not only in our experiences, but in our physical, spiritual, and emotional health as well.I approach every therapeutic relationship with an open mind and tailor my therapeutic approach to each client.

Welcome! In this very moment you're choosing to be on your journey. My therapeutic philosophy is to facilitate and support your body's innate healing response through the applications of EMDR, (EMDRIA.ORG) and heart-centered therapies. EMDR in particular works to liberate clients from past trauma memories whether that be small "t" trauma or big 'T" trauma and to transform a person's subconscious beliefs thus "turning down the volume" on negative memories/negative beliefs and transforming those subconscious beliefs back into positive core beliefs so that you may become your highest aspect of yourself.

You've taken the first step towards your personal healing. Whether you struggle with feeling sad, anxious, "stuck" or generally dissatisfied with life, there is hope. You can learn to cope and connect with your sense of purpose, self-worth, and fulfillment. With supportive, effective psychotherapy, you can discover your inner strengths and resources, and learn to channel them to make improvements in daily living. You will discover ways to make your work life and relationships more satisfying. With compassion and acceptance, you can approach life with new skills to achieve a life of courage, authenticity, and contentment.

My conceptual skills and strengths from clinical practice are well-suited for highly motivated individuals; open to learning how to advance and stabilize their emotional health, based on sound principles for psychological and philosophic conflict-resolution. My approach reflects the understanding that growth requires critical self-reflection and ample time to actualize meaningful change. My experiences in academic studies, clinical services, and social justice affords me a broad range of insights; relevant to developing timely orientations for supporting composed ways, of handling internal and external, past and present conflicts.

Please Note: Due to extended wait times, we have unfortunately had to close our waitlist for children under 15, couples and family counseling at this time. We are a mental health agency proudly serving MaineCare clients. Our therapists help individuals and families to lead lives they feel good about. Couples, families, adults, and children have all benefited from the work we do. We look forward to working with all MaineCare clients. We have offices in Portland and Biddeford (catt-associates.com/locations) to serve the local community, and offer Telehealth sessions as well.

Are you struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, and stress? Using substances in order to cope? Let me help! I have been in practice since 2008 helping individuals learn ways of coping with the stressors of life, working through traumatic memories and experiences that can hold you back from living your best life. I offer a personalized, compassionate connection in therapy to ensure that you feel comfortable and have trust in the process to wellness and recovery.

My therapeutic partnership history is with folks who have not seen themselves reflected or heard in traditional wellness or therapy spaces. Some focus areas are complex trauma, substance misuse, and severe mental illness, highly sensitive/empathic folks, ASD and neurodivergent folks, strengthening self-compassion and building shame resilience, navigating liberation and justice, trauma-informed work, body liberation + supporting those recovering from diet culture and body stigma, furthering gender, racial liberation, and those impacted by the criminal and family court systems.

My passion in this work is to connect deeply with clients. Research tells us that the quality of the therapeutic relationship is the most important factor in positive outcomes in therapy, and I devote my attention to cultivating this relationship with empathy, authenticity, and compassion. I believe that you, the client, are the expert of your experience, and my role as therapist is to provide a quality of relationship that allows you to safely explore who you truly are, without judgement.

My passion is helping people to excel and to find their inner potential. I provide services for people of all ages and stages of life. Children and adolescents, adults and the elderly. I use an eclectic approach, because I believe in the uniqueness of each person. My approach to clients with addiction problems is non-judgmental. We work in a cooperative manner to identify roads to success.

Intelligent. Holistic. CBT and The Work are the foundation of my practice. Intelligent because they are evidence based and universal. Holistic because they incorporate the western medical model and the eastern spiritual model of health.

The Resilio Counseling Group, LLC was created with resilience as its core value to help heal, change, and improve lives. Through each therapeutic framework we offer, we leverage the innate resilience within each client to overcome a painful past, a set of overwhelming circumstances, or the hopelessness of facing a new day - all in the service of guiding you towards accomplishing your envisioned goals. We focus on what you want to achieve, instead of overly dwelling on a past which may be hijacking your future. Our goal is to provide you the tools to build the life that you want and spare you a lifetime of therapy.

Psychotherapy is a helpful way to get relief from stress and suffering while at the same time finding meaning and purpose. As a licensed psychologist, I work with my clients to help them understand their emotions, relationships, and thinking patterns so that they will be able to face new challenges and make sense of past experiences. I work to create a relationship in which you will feel comfortable sharing. During our meetings I will pay careful attention to what you say and how you say it. Through curiosity, noticing patterns, and using humor we will work together to navigate the challenges you are facing.

Are you feeling lost? That no one understands? Are you exhausted from constantly masking and are feeling burnt out? As an unapologetically unashamed fat, queer, geeky, AuDHD, and chronically ill therapist, I firmly believe in creating a safe, inclusive, and respectful space, where no subject is taboo. I work well with folx who are seeking a provider familiar with and understands neurodiversity (ADHD and Autism), LGBTQIA2S+, polyamory, kink, sex work, fat body liberation, and chronic illness/disability.

Sometimes life gets complicated. Fortunately, you're not alone. At the Center for Collaborative Therapy, treatment is tailored to meet your specific needs, whether you're struggling with your own personal demons like anxiety, depression, or low self-esteem, or whether you're struggling with problems in your couple or family relationships. Interpersonal problems are often at the root of psychological symptoms. Even children's difficulties are best addressed with those who care for them. It's not easy asking for help, but that first step can make all the difference.
