Therapists in Maine

Life is hard. That's an understatement if there ever was one. We're bombarded with images of joyful, fulfilled people online and we might wonder what their secret is. In our culture, we learn to put on a happy face. We aren't allowed to struggle or feel down. As a therapist, this is part of what drives me - to normalize the suffering that is inherent in human life. And to assist people in finding ways to cope.

We are licensed in Oregon, Maine, Minnesota, Florida, Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey and Colorado. We currently offer telehealth and virtual therapeutic services. We work with individuals with a wide range of concerns including depression, mood disorders, family relations issues, substance use disorders, and co-occurring disorders. We combine different therapeutic approaches based on client's presenting concerns, goals, and motivation, such as, cognitive-behavioral, brief therapy, mindfulness, client-centered, solution-focused therapy.

I have 34+ years of experience providing counseling to children, adolescents, adults, couples, and groups. Currently I'm seeing clients via telehealth only. I offer effective tools for managing anxiety and depression; I have extensive experience helping individuals with codependency, trauma, and self esteem issues. I provide compassionate and empowering assistance to those in pain. With children, I have much experience treating ADHD, social anxiety. I currently work with parents only. My group focuses on Women's Codependency recovery issues. I offer gender affirming care and work with the LGBTQ+ community.

Merrilee Larsen is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor in Maine who has been practicing since 1997. She has an MA in Counseling Psychology. For Merrilee, one of the most exciting things she has learned as a therapist is that we grow and change throughout our lives. Her practice focuses on helping individuals, couples, and families navigate the challenges of healing, supporting growth, and change. Merrilee’s background and training in evidence-based trauma, anxiety, and depression treatment (Cognitive Behavioral (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral (DBT) and Trauma Focused (TF-CBT) guides individual and family work.

The most important aspect of my work as a therapist is the relationship between therapist and client. This allows the therapuetic alliance to be formed. My focus is on teaching adults and seniors new coping skills and life skills to help alleviate their symptoms of depression, anxiety, fears or phobias. I also help people who are struggling with traumatic memories using EMDR as a treatment modality. I have been trained in cognitive-behavioral therapy, teaching one to change existing thought processes thus leading to positive thinking and coping skills. I use a holistic bio-psycho-social model which incorporates mindfulness therapy using relaxation techniques.

Life can be difficult at times. We all have periods of ups and downs.It's when those downs begin to feel overwhelming, make you anxious, and negatively impact important areas of your life, such as your relationships, work, health, spirituality, and the way you feel about yourself that seeking professional help might be beneficial.

I believe that every individual has the inherent capability to make changes to better their lives. My goal is to foster relationships that best support client strengths, tailoring therapy that fits the indivdual(s). In my practice, I employ behavioral therapy, person centered therapy, and mindfulness work. I work with adults, couples and families who are experiencing anxiety, depression, grief, low self esteem, and spirituality concerns, and those who are in the midst of separation/divorce, or having parenting issues or communication challenges within family and/or peer relationships.

Do you feel overwhelmed and frustrated trying to juggle the demands of family, work and relationships? Do you lack confidence and a sense of meaningful purpose in your life? I work with people to relieve stress, boost confidence, achieve clarity, and find fulfillment in their lives. Through counseling, mindful awareness, behavioral modifications, and lifestyle changes, you will begin to reclaim balance, peace and joy in your life.

In our sessions together, we'll navigate life's twists and turns with openness and compassion. Whether you're an an adult contending with depression or anxiety, a parent wading through the highs and lows of raising kids or someone navigating the shadows of grief, I'm here to accompany you on your journey. In my practice, I strive to foster an environment where challenges are met with curiosity and courage, where each difficulty becomes an opportunity for growth. I specialize in empowering young clients with the skills to manage stress, anxiety, and navigate the often turbulent landscape of modern childhood and adolescence.

I am a clinical psychologist with over 25 years of experience in various settings, currently working exclusively with adults in individual therapy. My primary orientation is psychodynamic, which means that I help clients look at current symptoms and relationship problems as manifestations of patterns - often outside of our awareness - that we learn in childhood. Often this learning leads us to suppress important parts of ourselves and our experiences, which in turn leads to suffering. I believe that exploring these patterns and slowly acquainting ourselves with disowned feelings and conflicts is critical for lasting symptom change.

I work with youth, teens and adults looking to live a more confident, healthy and authentic life. I believe in the good in every person, and hope to highlight strengths, empower bravery, and encourage authentic experience and connection to allow you to step into your best self. Each person's path is unique, each person has a story to tell, and each person has the ability to live a fuller life.

My name is Rachel Gitelson and I specialize in the treatment of individuals, families, and providing parenting support.

I support couples in the challenges of parenting in today’s world, and come from a strength-based perspective in which I believe we are all doing the best we can given the resources that we have. Additionally, I offer supervision to licensed therapists.

I want people to know that therapy begins with choosing to take the step of exploring yourself, an event that has occurred, STRESS, relationships, loss, burnout. That big next step involves developing a trusting and genuine rapport with your clinician. I invite you to reach out and begin that process with me and know that it can be done with humor, understanding, and a very strong believe in the fact that we are not perfect, that we are not made to go it alone all the time, and that we all need somewhere and someone that it can be all about you for a moment.

I believe every person big & small can work through emotional & behavioral challenges to live their best life. I'm motivated to assist people with processing their challenges, and problem solving & skill building to achieve recovery from mental health challenges & increase one's overall emotional capabilities.

Life can throw us curveballs and we all need help sometimes navigating through life transitions and other stressful times. My style is flexible and interactive, working collaboratively with people to achieve their goals. I aim to provide an empathic, warm, non-judgmental environment. LGBTQIA informed and ally.

Even though you have a natural, built-in ability to heal and regain balance, extra support from therapy can boost resilience in difficult times. Whether change happens through personal choice or unexpected circumstances, I will help you explore, understand and integrate these life-transforming experiences. I take a holistic, mind-body approach in my work as a psychologist, and I will support you to heal and grow in ways that are most meaningful for you.
