Thank you for exploring my page on Psychology Today. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker I provide individual, couples and family therapy with an approach that integrates cognitive-behavioral therapy and family systems models. (I do not treat children or adolescents in my practice.) My role as therapist is to help stimulate change by facilitating conversations that explore and lead to new ways of thinking about your life and relationships, and ways to initiate meaningful change.

Hi there. I don't know what brings you here, but I can listen to your story and do my best to help you through it. Maybe something happened recently and you're just trying to get back to normal, or maybe you've had a mental illness your whole life...either way, if you're looking for someone who will listen, provide support, and help guide you towards insight and acceptance, we may be a good fit. I work well with people who are motivated to try new things and keep an open mind, who are willing to speak about themselves and their experiences honestly.

Jeannin Thibodeau, LCSW at Forest Light Psychotherapy - Accepting new clients. Im a Licensed therapist in Maine and Florida, I've professionally counseled individuals full-time since 2013. My approach is person-centered, collaborative and strengths based. Providing secure internet-based therapy for women, young adults, LGBT folks, middle aged adults, and elders. Also offering online or phone therapy for folks with life threatening illnesses such as cancer and end of life counseling.

I focus on working primarily with couples and individual adults who are dealing with trauma histories, identity/cultural issues, depression and/or anxiety. I can help you excavate your past trauma, your attachment and communication styles in a way that helps you understand them, and how these may be impacting what is going on with you in the present moment, so you can feel more in control of your body, your emotions, your thoughts, and your relationships. I have very limited space for teens also dealing with trauma, anxiety and depression, who can come for in-person services, at my Portsmouth, NH location.

I specialize in Borderline personality disorder, PTSD/Trauma, and co-occurring challenges. My scope of practice includes LGBTQ+ concerns, couples (nonmonogamy), and mood disorders. A desire to change is often forged in hardships that are overwhelming, painful, and cause suffering. It can be a difficult path to navigate alone. A therapeutic relationship based on trust, open communication, respect, and empathy is fundamental to overcoming struggles. Whether it is during a transition, an acute stressor, or severe mental illness, I provide a supportive, safe, and non-judgmental environment for youth, adults, families, and couples.

Hello, Hola, my name is Maite. Are you feeling stuck in life? Are you experiencing difficulties within your relationships? Are you feeling overwhelmed by the stress in your life? I would like to help by assisting you in learning skills to reach awareness and healing. Counseling is a safe place to share your concerns, dreams and to implement coping skills to deal with stress, anxiety, depression and/or trauma. I specialize in helping clients through challenging life transitions.

After 35 years practicing as a clinical psychologist I have come to understand that effective treatment must be determined specifically for each client and applied in a respectful and cooperative manner. Treatment choices are made based on the uniqueness of the individual, his or her goals, and current life circumstances. They may include behavior therapy, cognitive therapy, in-depth therapy, or couples and family therapy. One treatment modality is not appropriate for all.

Sometimes life can get complicated. It can help to have someone to talk with. Together we can develop a safe, supportive relationship that helps you to discover the path that works best for you. I have worked in helping professions for over 10 years, and during that time have discovered a passion for helping others make positive changes in their lives. My approach is a blend of evidence based practices, including cognitive behavior therapy and mindfulness, with a strong focus on building a supportive therapeutic relationship. My goal is to help you develop your strengths and take concrete actions toward lasting wellness.

Hello, we are a clinic based at the University of Maine and serve clients throughout the entire state of Maine community. Our services are primarily in-person and we are also glad to serve clients from more distant areas of Maine through telehealth. We offer research-based psychological treatments, such as cognitive behavior therapy (CBT), for a wide range of ages and difficulties, and are staffed by Clinician-Psychologist teams with specific expertise. Although we don't take insurance, our sliding fee scale means that the session fee is often less than or equal to an insurance copay.

At one point or another we can all benefit from what therapy has to offer. I commit to creating a compassionate space for you to break from your daily routine and shed the layers no longer serving you. I believe counseling to be a collaborative journey towards growth, adaptation, and healing.

Throughout my career, I have worked with adults and elders in coping with severe and persistent mental illnesses, anxiety and depression, bipolar d/o, anger, and other struggles. Our focus will be on processing the varied challenges of your life, and identifying effective coping skills, and symptom-reduction strategies. My life has been a lifelong learning experience and it has been a joy being a part of the lives of others. My varied experience includes having worked on a psychiatric inpatient unit for 5 years and in various community mental health settings for the last 32 years.

I have been in practice since 2001, specializing in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for the treatment of anxiety and depression. I will work with children over 10, adolescents and adults. I'll work with individuals, couples and families. I believe that therapists are like shoes...some fit and some don't, and sometimes it could be the right shoe for the wrong occasion. I appreciate your interest, and would like to see if our therapeutic relationship is a comfortable fit.

Hello and Welcome! Psychotherapy is a collaborative, goal-oriented process of talking and experiencing emotions in a welcoming and affirming space. Thoughtfully chosen to meet your individual needs, I integrate an insight-oriented approach with evidence-based skills and behavior-focused therapies (e.g. CBT or DBT). Our sessions will address your current concerns, symptoms, and personal goals as well as explore vulnerabilities from your past to develop a deeper self-awareness. Mindfulness and/or EMDR may be suggested to clients who might benefit from an emotion-focused, body-based treatment.

Life presents us with countless challenges resulting in pain, regret, anxiety, relationship difficulties, legal issues and more! In our search for relief, we may turn to drugs or alcohol, inadvertently falling into the grips of addiction. I am very passionate about recovery and understand that change can be daunting. I strive to guide you through your difficulties and make progress towards the life you desire. During our sessions, you can expect my undivided attention, this is YOUR time.

My purpose is to create a consistent, trauma-informed setting where we connect, share, and grow. My therapeutic concentrations include anxiety & depression, ADHD, the autism spectrum, educational challenges, aging, and stress related to government & policy. I am a believer in using creative methods such as drawing, painting, and music to get our minds moving. I am especially a believer in the power of fresh air and am likely to ask if you would be interested in meeting in the park on a nice day. I love riding my bicycle and do sewing in my free time.
