Female Therapists in Wells, ME

I have been working in this field for almost 10 years, and up until August of 2021, I worked in community mental health which allowed me to work with people of all ages and needs. I have experience working with children as young as 2 and adults into their 70s. I am trained in Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Modular Approach to Therapy for Children and Adolescents. I specialize in working with adolescents and adults mostly processing trauma, working through anxiety, depression, relationships, codependency and developing healthy boundaries. More recently I have worked through my own Postpartum Depression.

Hello! I am so glad you are taking the leap! I am here to help you discover a path toward a happier more fulfilled life. We all have times in life where we are stuck and need some guidance to work through challenging feelings, stress and road blocks. Our relationships, jobs and parenting can be difficult. Being able to work on life's inevitable stressors with a trained clinician can help liberate you and guide you on a path to positive change and outcomes. Lets develop some goals, make a plan and begin the process of growth. Be it past or current issues we can figure it out together.

My practice currently has limited availability starting in September. I have been working as a strength-based counselor for the past 24 years. Through building a therapeutic relationship, we can address stressors and concerns in your life and focus on setting goals that will decrease anxiety, and have the potential to improve the overall quality of your life. I believe in self-care and ultimately achieving a sense of pride and self-esteem. I will work with you to recognize your individual strengths, set boundaries when needed, and use communication skills to assert needs to friends, family, and co-workers.

Are you struggling with problems like self-sabotage, difficulty making important decisions, feeling like your world has turned upside-down or have anxiety? I understand that life can feel overwhelming for many different reasons, and perhaps seem even more so during the situation you are in right now. In spite of all this, I want you to know there is help and hope. I offer a safe and judgment-free environment to explore the issues, circumstances, relationship(s), thoughts, feelings and perspectives that have you searching for relief.

I strongly believe that the quality of the relationship a person has with their therapist is the most important factor for successful therapy. When we begin our work together, you will find that I am open-minded, non-judgmental, compassionate, and understanding. My work is holistic in nature, as I believe that all aspects of our lives have a huge impact on the way that we feel and how we function in the world. With guidance, coaching, and support, we will work together to help you to attain your goals and create a more fulfilling and satisfying life.

I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor[LCPC] and a Licenced Marriage and Family Therapist[LMFT] . I have worked in Kennebunk, Maine for 38 years helping individuals, couples and families identify, understand and transform their suffering. We first identify your goals and then look directly to the obstacles preventing you from reaching your goal. Therapy has begun!! As we explore these obstacles, we will look at the present moment, the valuable roots of the past and the treasured hope of your future happiness.

Life is challenging and it just never stays the same! Sometimes we find ourselves in a rough patch where old patterns of behavior just don't work anymore but we don't know what else to do. I believe it's my job to help you find your way through to new answers and behaviors that serve you better. To me, the work of therapy is to find the courage within to change the things that you can, the acceptance to live with what you cannot and most importantly, to figure out which is which! I believe it is my role to help you find your way through this with compassion, humor and insight.

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.

Currently, my primary work is with Individual Adults, in Kennebunk, Maine and Telehealth in Maine, Massachusetts and Florida. We all want to be happy. And many of us are happy much of the time as ordinary events pass through us without leaving a mark. And then, something happens and we're stuck. These events narrow our view of ourselves, our world and keep us from living to our full potential. Your problems affect who you are today and you want things to change. I can help you reduce what keeps you stuck so that you can move forward living your life in a more fulfilling and meaningful way.

We currently have two spots left with our intern Michelle, for $25 a session. These spots fill up very fast, so contact us asap if interested! At Headwaters Wellness, our goal is to provide a safe, non-judgmental, laid-back environment where you can share your story and find ways to heal and move forward. We work together with adolescents, young adults, women, and their families, creatively and holistically. What is your story? Are you looking to get back to your true self or reach your potential? Do you need help rewriting your story or simply help to be more gentle with yourself? The best investment is in yourself.

I'm currently taking on new clients for telehealth appointments. I work with young adult and adult clients who are working through interpersonal relationship issues, anxiety, self-esteem issues, and navigating life changes and personal challenges. I also work with individuals impacted by close family or friends with substance misuse disorders.

I am currently open to Mainecare clients and practicing as an out-of-network provider for commercial insurance. We all possess the ability to transform, whether it be through difficult circumstances, challenging relationships, life transitions, or mental health struggles. I work with clients experiencing life transitions, depression, anxiety, mood, and stress disorders. I also work with people affected by trauma using trauma-informed practices to understand how we process these experiences.

Your wellness matters! I believe in the power of each individual to face adversity and heal. If you are struggling with depression, grief, trauma/PTSD, anxiety, mood disturbances, and adjustment difficulties to the many transitions we make throughout our life span- I would be honored to help you on your wellness journey. I am skilled in a variety of therapy treatment modalities and tailor the use of these approaches and skills to each clients' unique needs. Your body and mind strive to move toward balance, healing and wellness, I like to assist my clients with this process as a collaborator in your wellness journey .

I think we are all looking for happiness and peace. Unfortunately, these cannot be purchased or found in the bottom of a bottle. Happiness & peace are created. I have found Yoga and Buddhism to be the best tools over the past 7 years for adolescents, adults, parents, foster families, veterans & even inmates to create a path of happiness and peace. Yoga is scientifically proven to show improvement with symptoms of PTSD, anxiety and depression. DBT, CBT and IFS are evidenced based therapies that have roots in Buddhism. I choose to go straight to the source and educate clients about Buddhism. Let me teach you these tools.

Currently accepting NEW clients! Hi! I'm Marie. I love working as a mental health counselor because I have the privilege of accompanying others through life's incredible challenges; seasons of self-doubt, anxiety, loss, confusion, anger. I am also able to join in life's incredible moments of connection, beauty, confidence and success. It is within this swirl of life that authenticity and strength can grow.

While the avenues of our lives seem very predictable, all too often that predictability falls to the way side. We summon the resources we know from our past. A feeling of being off balance, overwhelmed, misunderstood and at times alone can pressure our basic instincts. I am grateful to the individual who chooses to explore with me the answers they may already hold. The process of bringing concerns to the room and taking the time to look, study and explore individual needs and strengths begins the journey to self acceptance.

I am doing virtual appointments only. Being a therapist for over 20 years and as a person in long term recovery from alcohol and drugs I believe that when you transform yourself you transform your life. Whether it's a personal life crisis, addiction issues, or help communicating with a loved one, I can help guide you through the process and empower you to do the work needed to heal. My approach to the therapeutic relationship is that of a guide. Although I specialize in working with people with addictive behaviors, I also work with individuals dealing with anxiety, depression and other mental health issues.

I don't solve problems. What I do is work with clients and teach you how to problem solve!! And then we practice that skill together. No matter the age of my client nor the reason that brings them to my office, I want to be clear that this is a team approach. That having a neutral party to speak with; someone who will not judge but someone with whom you can share your concerns and issues can make all of the difference in the world in bringing about the changes that you desire.

Are you struggling with sadness, anxiety or depression? Is communication a problem in your relationship? Have the wounds and hurt experienced as a child held you back? I have been practicing psychotherapy for over 20 years to adolescents and adults. I have worked in substance abuse treatment centers with dual-diagnosis clients, public school systems providing counseling to adolescents as well as their parents. I received my Masters Degree in Clinical Social Work at Barry University in Miami, Florida. Professional Certification in life and career coaching from University of New Hampshire,
