Therapists in Scarborough, ME

Are you in the midst of self discovery or seeking to better navigate life's challenges? It’s natural to feel overwhelmed when facing anxiety, depression, relationship issues, or significant life transitions alone. Having a supportive therapist can be transformative, offering profound insights, coping strategies, and a compassionate perspective. If you're on a journey of personal growth, seeking deeper self-understanding, and aiming for overall well-being, therapy can be instrumental in achieving those aspirations.

Come as you are. You can expect empathy and a gentle approach from me. I tailor my therapeutic approach to you because your unique situation deserves a unique solution. I meet you where you’re at and explore your needs and wants with you to help you let go of what isn’t working. I believe in your ability to change and encourage exploration of your strengths. I bring warmth and authenticity to the therapeutic relationship and strive to create a non-judgmental, safe environment.

Thanks for taking the first step with me; I'm Belle and I am an Asian American clinician, community builder, born and raised in Maine. When I am not in the office, you can probably find me in search of my next oat milk latte, or catching up on my reading in a local coffee shop. Other things I enjoy (in no particular order) include: Cultivating eclectic playlists on Spotify, being near my rescue dog, taking a Spin class, and going way down a Wiki hole. As a therapist, I believe our relationships and how we engage within them shape who we are, the meanings we create, and our outlooks on life.

Limited openings at this time. Welcome to my profile! I believe that therapy will have its best results when there is a genuine relationship between the client and therapist, this is why my first goal in treatment will always be to build a strong relationship with you. From there, we will develop a plan guided by your needs to work on the issues important to you. My clients are always in control and choose the challenges they wish to work on in treatment. Clients and colleagues describe me as down to earth and easy going.

I utilize a holistic approach to wellbeing for people seeking quality of life. I use both traditional & contemporary/alternative approaches to therapy & I meet clients where they are & together we create a plan of care. I offer a sacred space (virtually) where people come to experience support & healing of mind, body & spirit. I accept most insurances. My self pay rate is 125.00 (I do have a sliding fee). I also offer Life Coaching- when a person does not have a mental health diagnosis & is seeking support for various reasons such as life & career changes... Life Coaching is not covered by insurance.

Providing pastoral counseling to individuals and couples for over 20 years within a religious context has provided a wealth of knowledge and experience since transitioning to the clinical side of counseling. This transition comes at mid-life with comprehensive experience in organizational leadership as well as spiritual formation and direction. Having been married for 25 years and having adopted 2 children, I have a passion for strengthening marriages, families and relationships.

I am a solution-focused therapist who believes that therapy with straight talk, a willingness to try new things - and a liberal dash of humor – leads to growth, healing, and more joy. Your brain isn’t broken (even if it feels that way) and you have strengths that you can use to help you feel better. We can identify your strengths and work on using them more effectively so you can tackle the sticky areas of life that are weighing you down.

As a dually licensed therapist I specialize in both mental health therapy as well as substance abuse and affected other counseling. Although I am able to provide either form of treatment alone, it is often appropriate to combine the two as a treatment for those experiencing difficulties due to the co-occurrence of symptoms, whether they have the substance abuse issue themselves or are affected by a loved one's substance abuse.

In my practice I aim to meet you with care and compassion wherever you find yourself in life. Whether you are going through a major transition or carrying wounding from earlier in life, your experiences can impact how you connect with yourself and those around you. Together we will explore the best way to support you and address what may be getting in the way of deeper healing.

Are you a highly-motivated, ambitious individual who thrives on the pursuit of excellence? Is your goal-oriented nature constantly driving you towards perfection? I'm Jackie, clinical therapist with A Simple Therapy, and I’m right there with you. I understand the unique challenges (and advantages!) that come with a high-achieving personality. While others perceive you effortlessly juggling numerous responsibilities, you’re feeling like an imposter- overwhelmed, burned out, empty, and in dire need of establishing boundaries. Perhaps you’ve experienced a major transition and your old ways of succeeding just aren’t working anymore.

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.

I believe individuals possess strength, resiliency, and the capacity for change. Through my work in the field of mental health and human services for the past 12 years, I've provided therapy to individuals at all life stages and have witnessed remarkable healing and growth.

I view as some of my most important work that which instills hope and eases emotional pain -- in particular with our youth. Anger, Addiction and the struggles of Adolescence can be addressed, and a path to a better life can be found. I work with individuals from adolescence through late adulthood, couples, and families. My areas of specialization include: Anger, Addiction, Adolescence, Family Issues, Grief and Loss, and Relationships.

You may be experiencing stressors related to relational conflicts, family of origin challenges, parenting children (especially if they have special needs), life transitions or grief and loss. You may be coping with a disability or trauma. I am passionate about collaborating with you to identify your strengths and discover how you can leverage those strengths in building solutions that are congruent with your values and goals, as well as identifying ways to increase your resilience. If you would like to explore your relationship with substances or how your family system impacts you, I would be honored to be a witness to your process.

Hi there, I'm Jenna (she/her). I believe a trusting and safe therapeutic relationship is the foundation for healing and growth.

I believe that attuning to the here and now in the therapeutic process has profound benefits. With support and collaboration, I help guide you to your most authentic self.

Social situations leave you drained, but you also want to do more with your friends. Or perhaps right now you're going through a period of life that feels overwhelmingly challenging and stressful.

Do you experience the outdoors as a place of healing and comfort? Can you imagine meeting with your therapist outside for support? To learn skills to improve your life and overall well-being? I love the outdoors and am excited to offer the option of meeting in person outside for therapy in the Portland and Scarborough areas, with telehealth as a backup when the weather does not cooperate. Indoors or outside, throughout the year, you can expect a supportive and comfortable atmosphere in which to heal and grow when you and/or your partner, or your child or teen meet with me for therapy.
