As human beings, we instinctively seek meaning and purpose, yet we also resist the difficult experiences that could move us toward them. These difficult experiences may start out in the world, but often live within us in the form of repeating thoughts, feelings, sensations, memories, and beliefs - parts of ourselves that may need to be more fully experienced, acknowledged, and examined. When approaching these experiences with a compassionate and curious awareness, we can begin to discern what's truly authentic for us and create more ease, meaning, creativity, and possibility for the future.

I am licensed to practice as a mental health counselor as well as an alcohol and drug counselor in the State of Maine. My main areas of expertise are in the assessment, diagnosis and treatment of co-occurring disorders (both mental health and substance use issues). I have experience providing individual, family and group therapy to treat problems such as trauma/PTSD, grief and loss, depression, anxiety, identity development, communication and life transitions.

I’m Katherine Vilnrotter. I believe that every person is important and has a voice to be heard. The stories we align ourselves with, determine our perceptions of ourselves, our situations, and others. The richer the story, the more useful tools it has to offer us on our journey. The beauty of a story is its fluidity; it is always changing, evolving, and transforming along with the characters it holds. I’m honored to witness every story and enrich it with new tools and perspectives along the way. If you'd like to get to know me a bit better, you can listen to my podcast at... https://doc.simplecast.com/episodes/youre-not-broken

I have developed strong evidence-based therapeutic skills in Acceptance and Commitment and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Treatment and Structural Family Therapy.

Book with me now, click on my website! While I am not seeking to only work with client's that check off these boxes, as I would like to positively impact as many people as possible, my experience has been that clients who benefit extremely well from working with me are those that are open to engaging in the work needed to see the benefits of therapy. Clients that are seeking to better understand their perspective of the world, how they fit into it, how they can fit into it, and how they can make the most of their space in the world will thrive when working with me.

Life can present many unexpected challenges, emotionally, physically, and spiritually. These challenges impact our emotional wellbeing and our relationships. As your therapist, I will offer you the opportunity to reflect upon your life in a safe, respectful, and confidential environment. My area of expertise is Whole Mind-Body Psychotherapy which focuses on the interplay between physical health (body) and mental health (mind). We will identify how your life experiences are stored in your brain-body and influence your emotions, thinking, and behaviors. You will develop new pathways to promote a sense of well-being and inner strength.

Clients come to me feeling stuck, alone, scared, insecure and overwhelmed, not good enough. My clients walk away from me with more confidence, more clarity of who they are and what they need, more deeply attached in healthy relationships, with more ease and balance in life, more able to face life’s challenges with a sense of possibility and hope. Couples learn to change the cycle of interaction so they feel more emotionally connected and secure. I provide compassionate, focused, trauma informed and attachment based emotionally focused therapy to regulate and heal your hurt and create secure attachments- with yourself and others.

Some of human suffering is about the way we experience the events of our lives rather than the things themselves. Therapy offers an opportunity to bring awareness to our experiences and change our relationship to them rather than try to change the events themselves. Through this approach, we gain a sense of control in our lives and positively experience and influence its direction. If we believe that we have power within us to achieve health and happiness, then the events in our lives that cause us pain and suffering can be seen as an opportunity to learn about ourselves and experience personal growth.

Hi, My name is Sean O'Hara. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in New York and Maine with over 5 years of experience working in the Mental Health field. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, mood disorders, grief and loss, life transitions, and family/relationship issues. I graduated from Fordham University with an MSW, and have worked in a variety of clinical settings including inpatient and outpatient mental health facilities. I am an inclusive therapist and ally to the LGBTQIA+ community.

I can see any client in Maine and NH via teletherapy but I am not credentialed with insurance companies in Maine, only NH. I help guide my clients to understand how their upbringing, worldview, culture, personality, and view of self affect how they are feeling, behaving, and thinking currently. One goal of mine is to help my clients maximize their wellbeing by better understanding themselves through the use of coping tools like mindfulness to slow and calm themselves enough to be able to assess their own thoughts and emotions in the moment so as to minimize regrets while reducing mood and behavioral symptoms.

Support for clients struggling with dating anxiety, relationship issues, attachment style questions, healing from a break up, depression or low mood, general anxiety, self-esteem, or curiosity and desire for more self-awareness and inner growth. The transformation begins when we are able to connect more deeply with ourselves after analysis of our patterns, behaviors, family dynamics, and how we show up in relationships.

*Taking new clients*Offering Telehealth. I have 30 years of experience in the field of counseling. I enjoy working with adolescents, adults, couples, and families who are seeking compassionate support with anxiety, depression or a challenging transition or experience. I create a space to foster positive growth and strengthen overall quality of life through personal awareness. I believe that each individual has unique gifts and strengths within them, and when given the support and guidance through the counseling process, great progress can be made. My approach is Eclectic in nature, as I use techniques from all schools of therapy.

My Name is CourtneyLee Beauregard. My approach to therapy is rooted in compassion, acceptance, and mindfulness. I am an expert in the field of post-traumatic growth and am skilled in working with disordered eating, dysregulation from anxiety or depression and addiction. I believe the natural tendency of humans is towards growth and healing, but sometimes trauma, negative beliefs and life difficulties can make this difficult to remember or trust. With a compassionate and intentional focus, I use mindfulness-based cognitive, behavioral and spiritual interventions in my therapeutic approach, balanced with practicality and creativity.

I believe that relationships determine a lot about how we interact with the world - in both helpful and less helpful ways. Our behaviors, attitudes, thoughts, feelings, and relationship styles are reinforced over time by our experiences, families, partners, environments, and culture. Psychotherapy can help when stress, trauma, life transitions, or difficult relationships call for new ways of coping and navigating our lives.

I believe within each of us is a powerful energy we can use to expand our lives. In moving beyond our limiting beliefs and the places where we get stuck, we open to our potential. Learning to manage our thoughts and emotions consciously, from a place of alignment with our values, allows us to identify and express the best version of us more consistently. It is just a matter of time before our external world begins reflecting these internal changes.
