Therapists in Kennebunk, ME
Therapy can provide children and teens a safe and supportive setting to learn to identify and express their emotions, make progress with social integration, growth and development. They have the opportunity to develop skills to more effectively manage their social and emotional challenges that impact their interactions with others. Parents strive to create happiness in the lives of their children. In my practice, they will learn to identify their strengths, become more confident in their ability to work through their emotional challenges, improve their social skills, increase self-awareness and develop a more positive sense of self.

Life can be challenging! Often we neglect our emotional health and the increase of daily stress, worry and hurts from our past can take their toll on the daily functioning. I have 20+ years of experience in private practice as a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor to use to your benefit.

I have assisted children, teen, adults and families to explore their emotions and develop skills to make changes for a more satisfying life. "I am not what happened to me. I am what I choose to become." Carl Jung

Given the many challenges that life can hand us, it's easy to lose hope or feel overwhelmed. You are not alone. All too often our minds begin to take over filling our head with old messages that no longer serve us. Perhaps we are judging ourselves too harshly or feeling guilty for things that are out of our hands. Perhaps our heart is burdened with feelings of depression or anxiety. By exploring the importance of grounding ourselves in the present and practicing an awareness of being mindful, we can change our life patterns finding the inner peace that we strive for. Working together we can find hope in the present moment.

When we experience trauma we are often flooded with overwhelming emotions, body sensations, and memories. I work with clients to cultivate awareness around identifying the patterns our bodies and minds engage in based on our past experiences. Once we can identify the patterns we can encourage change. Through a trauma-informed lens and with the assistance of my equine co-therapist, we can guide you to reconnect with your body and begin to understand how trauma impacts your nervous system. Together we can begin to understand how trauma shows up for you and work to reprocess trauma and sit with challenging emotions

Hello! I'm Dr. G - I believe therapy is transformative. That being said, therapy is not “one size fits all,” and finding what works for you is a critical part of the process. My personal style combines kindness and understanding with humor and honesty. I also believe understanding oneself and finding personal agency in powerless or overwhelming experiences is the unpinning to healing and freedom from suffering. Please reach out if you have any questions about therapy, mental health, or my practice.

Did you ever watch Boy Meets World growing up? If yes, skip the next two sentences. If no, then let me set the scene. A 90’s sitcom about the wholesome, suburban Philadelphia Matthews family, who have two teenage sons. The older brother, Eric, bonks his younger brother, Cory, in the forehead and says “Life’s tough, get a helmet.” While I don’t condone violence, I do agree that life can be tough sometimes. While wearing a helmet is beneficial in a lot of scenarios (i.e. riding a bike), it is not so beneficial in the emotional, social, psychological, or theoretical realms.

So much of the stress we feel in life can come from relationships and situations that do not make sense to us. Perhaps you have a sense that “something is just not right” in those dynamics, but you cannot figure out what it is. You may notice that you are feeling anxious, overwhelmed, distracted and depressed, and you feel at a loss for how to change that. My passion is working with folks who are wanting to shift those confusing dynamics and heal from the negative impact of them.

Building strong therapeutic relationships while providing a safe space for clients to heal is the foundation of my approach. I motivate clients to recognize their own potential, while remaining empathetic and supportive in helping to facilitate change. Based on the client’s direction, I will help them identify their self-reliance while teaching them how to advocate for themselves. I appreciate the idea of using what will work best for clients as an individuals. Knowing how different we all are, our personalities – our problems – our backgrounds, I create treatment plans that are tailored for my clients.
