Medicaid Therapists in Maine

If you are reading this, then I think it goes without saying you are looking for help or support with something - why else would you be here right? Perhaps you are having a hard time connecting with or trusting others. Maybe you are having a hard time telling others how you feel about things or are overwhelmed by tasks others seem to handle with ease. It could be you are feeling stuck, unhappy, lonely, or worn down. Perhaps you recently lost someone or something and are having a hard time saying goodbye.

In my calm, safe, confidential office, I am currently offering HIPAA secure Online video sessions using a HIPPA-compliant secure platform or phone consultations. We integrate CDC guidelines for COVID-19 for any inperson sessions. My 25 years of clinical experience have taught me about the courage those facing complex life difficulties bring to psychotherapy. Adults, children and adolescents are given help finding solutions. Mindfulness techniques which I have discovered the value of through a 25+ year meditation practice are also of benefit to clients who are looking to make life changes.

I believe truly understanding a person’s journey begins with a compassionate heart. Each person is beautifully unique, harbors inner strengths, and is on a developmental journey, no matter what their age. I work collaboratively and creatively to identify these strengths and explore developmental perspective. During our work together, it is my goal to create a private and safe place in which to explore, heal, and grow.

Hey there, I'm Alaina, fellow fallible human being. I am a Clinical Social Worker with 16+ years of experience in the mental health field, and 8+ years as a clinician. In that time, I gained knowledge in child and family welfare, postpartum and parenting, chronic illness, agoraphobia and anxiety of all kinds and flavors, end of life, anger/irritability, life transitions, LGBTQ+, incarceration and re-entry, employee assistance, trauma treatment, crisis intervention, grief, and more.

Is your life turning out the way you planned? Are your personal relationships fulfilling? Are you finding the right job for you? Do people get who you really are? Too often we lose track of the way we exist each day. Depression over past mistakes or anxiety about what might happen in the future prevent us from being who we want to be in the present. The goal of existential counseling is to help you develop a better relationship with your "self" first, and then to improve your relationships with others. To help you gain more confidence in the decisions you make daily and to worry less about how others will judge you in the future.

I am a Licensed Alcohol and Drug Counselor and enjoy working with teens and adults, as well as families. I have a laid back approach and find value in a harm reduction. I specifically enjoy facilitating DBT Skills and SMART Recovery. I just opened a second location in Baldwin, ME and will still be offering telehealth services.

Most of my clients have used alcohol or drugs as a crutch over the years and that has progressed into a daily habit that becomes a way of coping with life. This eventually leads to excessive drinking and drug use and can cause chaos in a person's life...and the lives of the people that love them. My goal is to help you develop coping skills that allow you to deal with life's difficulties without picking up a drink or a drug. Life can be so much better when you are not tethered to a drink or a drug in order to get through your day.

Welcome to a space dedicated to your well-being and personal growth. Therapy is a journey of self-discovery and healing, where you can explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences in a safe, non-judgmental environment. It's a collaborative process that empowers you to navigate life's challenges, uncover your inner strengths, and foster resilience.

I believe in healing through connection and enjoy working with individuals that are looking for a supportive and intuitive approach to individual counseling. I appreciate learning my clients' individual needs and strengths and through these interactions identifying the best approach to meet their therapeutic goals. Attachment issues and trauma often impact trust and one's ability to connect- I work with clients to identify these challenges in an intentional and trauma informed process. I enjoy working with other helping professionals, providing therapy to counselors or Clinical supervision aligned with licensing requirements.

Most people who visit a therapist know that there is something they want to change, but they may not know how. Sometimes feelings of anxiety or depression, problems with relationships, challenges at work, or other social difficulties are difficult to understand and resolve without help. In therapy, my goal is to help you foster greater self-understanding and develop strategies to live a more fulfilling life.

"Without good advice everything goes wrong— it takes careful planning for things to go right."- Proverbs 15:22 As the owner of Kaleidoscope Therapy, I work with adults ages 18-110. I engage in mental health treatment with individuals around a variety of issues, specifically for depression and anxiety, and trauma.

I am a kind, caring person with a good sense of humor and I believe this helps me to connect with people. Clients are most successful when they are able to see the end goal and what they want to get out of therapy. I help guide clients towards the goal in a supportive, honest way.

From the beginning of my career, I have worked with children and families on helping to improve functioning in the home. The children I have worked with have had issues coping with multiple stressors, difficulties managing their thoughts and feelings and the behaviors that came with that were things that they wanted to change. I also work with adults with issues that they have around many different facets including but not limited to self acceptance, parenting a child, optimal self care and more. I also like to work with people of any age to support with life transitions and self discovery.

We're a group of mental health therapists who work to assist people by listening actively, identifying strengths and supports to be used or to be developed, sharing science-based research and practical tools, promoting insight and understanding of various contributing factors, and ultimately helping clients find lasting solutions. Our work is defined by the client’s vision of what they want life to become, both the inner life and the outer life.

With a wide array of professional experiences, I have found my passion to be working individually with others to help them overcome challenges in their life. I believe in working together to find ways to better manage and deal with the struggles of life that we all go through.

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.

Clients present for counseling for a myriad of reasons. Life can offer opportunities for problem solving and sometimes that can feel overwhelming and challenging to resolve without professional help. Seeking support to address ways to improve self-care skills, mental wellness, and general over all health can improve your life.

If you find yourself struggling to effectively communicate with others, feeling misunderstood by those around you, or invalidated by the world, I create a space that is emotionally safe, validating, and holds space for change. Nothing is static; everything is always changing, even when it doesn’t feel like it. I believe strongly that we are all doing the best we can and need to do better. I offer support in finding ways to safely cope with and soothe difficult emotions and finding solutions to decrease behaviors that are causing harm and further distress.
