Dr. Cary Jenson, LCSW
About me
As a licensed therapist with 25 years of experience in Maine, I specialize in supporting individuals through complex emotional landscapes. My practice focuses on helping clients navigate life transitions, mood challenges, and interpersonal dynamics. I have deep expertise in addressing depression, anxiety, grief, and the nuanced emotional experiences of midlife, aging, and young adulthood.
My therapeutic approach is compassionate and holistic, drawing from extensive clinical experience to support individuals facing diverse challenges—from caregiver stress and family dynamics to personal transformations like divorce, loss, and life purpose exploration. I offer a supportive, non-judgmental space where clients can explore their emotions, heal from past experiences, and develop meaningful strategies for personal growth.
I am particularly attuned to the emotional complexities of aging, family relationships, and navigating significant life changes. My goal is to help clients build resilience, find inner peace, and create more fulfilling life narratives.
