Relationship Issues Therapists in Cumberland, ME

I have a dog named Jake. When I lay with him and hold his paw it’s one of the best feelings in the world. He makes me melt. My breathing slows down and I am in my happy place. In psychology we would call this coregulating. Have you ever experienced this with an animal or a loved one? We were made to be in relationship with one another. To love and be loved. To coregulate. Sometimes we get off course and need to learn how to connect again. That’s where I come in. I work with individuals and couples looking to show up differently in their relationships.

If you want someone who is knowledgeable and understanding, but willing to meet you where you are at, with your particular situations whether it be relationship issues, substance abuse, depression, anxiety or other mental health related issues, please give me a call. I work with couples, individuals, who are looking for solutions for their unique situations. I have many years experience working in the field and I am confident if you reach out to me, then I will be able to guide and assist you in your personal goals and unique situations.

Hi there! My therapeutic approach is all about you. My goal is to make therapy a warm and safe space to help you make the changes you wish to make. I am flexible and will use different types of therapy depending on your needs and preferences. I often use a blend of client-centered, ACT, and psychodynamic therapies. I also often conceptualize using family systems and attachment theory. We will decide at the beginning of our work what will feel like the best fit for you.

CUSTOM COUNSELING, LLC is client centered-focused, counseling each unique individual with a personal approach, understanding and treatment. I believe that, if we don't have a 'connection', a relationship upon which to build trust and confidence in our work, we both won't succeed in our work together. Therefore, I spend as much time as needed, in order for that rapport, that connection, to be solid. Sometimes, it takes a brief time, in order to complete therapy with desired/ positive results; sometimes, it's a longer process. Our sessions don't end until we both feel confident and comfortable with our progress.

Hello, I provide both individual & couples therapy. You might be curious about couples therapy because… you are in a new relationship and want to build solid skills for the future, or you and your partner are at a crossroads. Couples may seek a trained therapist for many reasons, but ultimately to support their relationship and learn new skills. As an individual, you may be struggling with anxiety, depression, the impact of trauma, or relationship conflict and longing for a space to put yourself first and work on your growth.

Whether you want to shift thinking patterns, heal from trauma, adapt behavior, or are seeking deeper insights into your relationships, therapy can be powerful and life-altering. As a Psychotherapist and Leadership Psychologist, I partner with my clients to help them work through challenges so that new possibilities can emerge. When individuals or couples recognize how they make sense of their lives, their past, and their thinking habits, they move closer to living the life they want. My practice is psychodynamic, drawing on tools from a variety of modalities, such as coaching, yoga, meditation, CBT, and narrative therapy.

I am a strength based therapist and have been in practice for over 13 years. It is my belief that each of us possess unique and special gifts, aspects of our true selves, that allow for us to healthfully manage difficult and painful circumstances. Depression, anxiety, grief/loss, low self-esteem, relationship issues often dull our light and impede our ability to access the gifts we inherently possess. Through an integrative approach that utilizes aspects of psychodynamic therapy, mindfulness, cognitive behavioral therapy, parts work and a dash of mysticism, it is my honor to witness as you gain insight into your own sacred self.

Connection! It is at the heart of being human. I am an experienced therapist providing a supportive environment that is free of judgment to connect and align with your purpose and meaning. I specialize in mental health and well-being in relationship dynamics, either with yourself or with others, work-life and daily living. I was clinically trained at Columbia University. My expertise ranges from traditional psychotherapy in an office setting or telehealth, counseling business executives at Employee Assistance Program, seafarer mental health in shipping, and a mental health counselor at a summer camp.

As a psychotherapist, I believe in human interactions as a powerful healing tool. I have been working as a therapist for 30 + years, having started my practice in Brazil, my country of origin, and practicing in the US since 2020. My work is based in Psychodynamic, Jungian Analytical Psychology, and I also provide trauma-informed care using EMDR as a therapeutic tool. My approach is mostly eclectic, meeting the client where they are at, and using evidence-based resources tailored to the client's needs. I see the human life as a journey, full of wonders and hardships, and I feel honored helping someone throughout their unique journey.

If you are struggling to cope with your own self care amidst caring for others or a major life transition, I can help you navigate all of the big feelings that go with the big job that you have and offer a path towards improved mental health and overall wellness. I am an experienced therapist who is committed to helping others embrace a healthy and fulfilling life while they are caring for others.

My practice is designed to work with people who feel overwhelmed or "stuck" in their current life situation. I begin with the understanding that everyone has struggles from time to time with primary relationships, work situations, financial stressors, unforeseen change of life circumstances or unresolved grief and loss. Common effects are anxiety, unexplained depression or loss of confidence. When these effects spill over into other areas of function, affecting sleep, clear thinking or enjoyment of regular activities, it is time to do some therapeutic "work" to put things in perspective and be able to move forward.

I now have immediate openings Tuesdays in-person in our Falmouth office! Energy for change is created when there is space to reflect upon and explore your life. I appreciate being able to co-create this space for curiosity and inquiry with you. Maybe you want to embody more joy, love, and health in your life. Maybe you want to build more skills in navigating the day to day emotions that permeate your mind, body and spirt. Whatever your goals, my work is to support you on your particular path, with the ups and downs that are an inevitable part of your process.

Struggling to manage symptoms of trauma, anxiety, depression and the stress of life transitions? Life can be a difficult journey and everyone deserves someone who will listen, understand and support them through navigating tough obstacles. My mission is to work with others to increase their motivation to achieve goals, make positive changes and support them in reaching their full potential. I have experience working with children, adolescents and adults in a variety of settings to include residential treatment, schools and outpatient.

I have extensive experience with adults and adolescents with depression, anxiety, social and relationship issues. I am experienced in the fields of addiction and recovery, and also work well with people affected by the substance use of a loved one. I have worked with both adolescents and adults in a variety of settings, including residential treatment, day treatment, schools and outpatient settings. My training allows me to use a variety of approaches, but my first goal is always relationship and trust development, as I believe a good working alliance must begin there.

I am out of the office and unavailable until September! 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.

Counseling is a process, not an end goal; and it’s a process by which challenges can be defined, addressed, and worked on. It’s a process that brings a therapist and a client into safe and confidential relationship built on trust and authenticity. The counselor encourages strength and establishes hope for real change through connection and exploration. We consider choices, challenges, and triumphs together, recognizing that while difficult, change is the vehicle we sometimes need to reach our destination or desired goal.

I am currently at capacity and not accepting new clients. Are you finding that your life isn't what you envisioned? Are you feeling depleted, anxious, stuck, parenting a challenging child, or wondering who you are? Are you looking for a safe, nurturing environment with a highly skilled practitioner? Especially an authentic person who believes that the process can and should include laughter? Clients are often pleasantly surprised with the wide array of tools and experience I draw on, including guided meditations created based on your preferred images and desired length. I then emailed to you, to access at any time.
