Therapists Beginning With T in Maine

Hello! My name is Tammy and I am a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW). I earned my Master’s degree from New Mexico Highlands University in 2008. While attending New Mexico Highlands University, I focused on mental health and theories in behavior. I have experience in various mental health diagnoses, trauma treatment, and extensive grief therapy. I also have experience and knowledge in interdisciplinary leadership, family-centered practices, and grief interventions which have provided me with the tools to help those who are facing mental stressors, behavioral disturbances, and/or grief-related depression and anxiety.

Your sleep has become irregular. You are eating too many cookies or you don't feel like eating. It is hard to get up in the morning. The energy you once had has become a memory. Your friends seem to be doing much better than you are, so you can't confide in them about how you feel. You worry about your spouse, about your children, about the economy, or about your job. You wonder if you are drinking too many lattes or glasses of wine. It is hard to concentrate, to get just one thing done.And you don't know why you have these thoughts, these worries, these sleepless nights.

I believe that every individual is the expert unto themselves, and therefore have an inner capacity to cope and heal from mental health challenges and trauma. As a licensed clinical professional counselor, it is my role to be a guide, sounding board, and someone to help encourage further inner exploration.

I believe trust and a sense of safety is the foundation of any therapeutic relationship. My goal is to meet you where you're at with empathy, non-judgement, and skill. My background is working with adolescents and adults in treating trauma/PTSD symptoms, anxiety, depression, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, co-dependency, and disordered eating. My process is collaborative and one where you have the freedom to explore your experiences and identify your individualized needs with care and support.

There are a lot of therapists out there, so I will make an attempt to summarize my beliefs about therapy in three succinct points. First, therapy is not always easy. Second, it is a therapist's job to challenge you. And third, therapeutic rapport is paramount to establishing effective therapy. If this is what you are looking for, I welcome you to schedule an initial appointment.

I am a seasoned clinician who has worked with adults, couples and families for over 30 years. Increased awareness leads to increased options. Often the work of therapy is about making or repairing connections--interpersonal, internal or perhaps even spiritual. I provide individual adult psychodynamic psychotherapy; couples counseling: marital, pre and post divorce. I use a multi modal approach often including assessment and treatment from a family systems perspective and a psychodynamic perspective. I reserve a portion of my practice to provide a safe and intriguing space for children to express themselves and to be understood by adults. Facilitated parent-child sessions often help.

I enjoy working with individuals to enhance their feelings of self-confidence and self-empowerment to achieve their life goals. I appreciate working with couples to improve their communication with one another and help them to regain a foundation of affection and friendship. I offer family therapy to assist families in identifying their areas of conflict and family dynamics to improve their communication and cohesiveness as a family. I enjoy working with adolescents and adults to explore their life direction, increase their motivation to achieve goals, including academic goals, and to make positive decisions.

Life demands a lot from us. The world can feel overwhelming, relationships can be triggering, and families can be trying. The parts of us that require healing are often sites of shame or trauma—either that we've experienced ourselves or inherited from our ancestors. My goal as a therapist is to create an environment of authenticity, attunement, and compassion, where you can feel at ease unfolding and exploring this often daunting terrain. I am deeply invested in working to understand you and the stories which have led you to the present moment.

As a therapist, I believe in autonomy and a client-centered approach. I am here to primarily remind you, or tell you for the first time, that you are not alone. There are tools to relieve those feelings of restlessness, irritability, anxiety, depression, and impulsivity. Finding that solution begins with making a personal decision to address what is holding you back and taking steps to evolve into the best version of yourself. If you were to wake up tomorrow and your current circumstances were no longer impacting your life, what would your world look like?

In my work with individuals and partners, I bring a warm and grounding presence to each relationship. I trust in the innate capacity of each of us to heal and grow; this belief guides my work in supporting folks navigating complex trauma, grief, chronic illness, and relationship issues. Feeling understood and valued within a supportive, nurturing environment allows us to access deeper exploration and healing, emotional release, & the integration of new mind-body connections. Regardless of how ingrained and automatic your patterns might be, and how stuck you might feel, a more peaceful life is possible.

*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.

Finding the right fit in therapy can be a challenging process. I provide a client-centered approach by working alongside you to achieve a greater sense of self-worth and a higher quality of life. It is my goal to help you gain relevant insight about yourself and also learn skills to cope with life’s stressors. I have experience helping clients address anxiety, depression, PTSD and other mental health challenges.

I've always had a knack for helping people behind the scenes. I continued my education to become a therapist because I realized that I had a gift for empathizing and communicating with others in ways that are helpful while obtaining positive outcomes. At NOCD, my team and I provide effective specialized treatment for OCD and related conditions, such as BFRBs (including skin-picking, nail-biting, and hair-pulling). Our understanding of these conditions enables us to treat them properly. We have training in evidence-based treatments, including Exposure Response and Prevention (ERP) therapy—the gold standard treatment for OCD.

If you are hoping to feel more peace within yourself, you're in the right place. I support folks in feeling more resourced, grounded and connected through a body-based approach that is centered in Internal Family Systems therapy. IFS allows us to work with our internal world instead of against, and creates space to nurture the parts of us that truly need it. My approach honors the whole you, you are encouraged to show up as you are, and will be met with compassion. I include nervous system support to foster embodiment, growth and integration.

If you're reading this, then there's a good chance that you are going through a difficult time & could use some support. You are not alone. You are in the right place & hopefully, I can help. I work with a variety of clients, from all different backgrounds, tap into their strengths, manage their mindset, regulate their emotions, improve their relationships (most importantly, the one with themselves) heal past hurts and set goals for a future worth looking forward to. It is my hope & intention that my clients leave their sessions feeling seen, heard, validated & motivated to make changes to reach their desired outcomes.
