Hello!
I am Katie Sankare, LCSW. I am licensed in the state of Maine and I have 10 years of professional work experience, mostly working with children, adolescents, and families. I have experience helping clients with parenting issues and concerns, navigating family dynamics, coping with life changes, managing anxiety & stress, building social skills, and concentration, memory and focus (ADHD). I also have extensive experience working with people on the Autism spectrum.
My therapy style is warm, friendly, and interactive. I believe that every person is unique and every person is the expert of their own life. I will tailor our sessions to meet your specific needs and goals. My therapeutic approach combines humanistic, psychodynamic, and cognitive-behavioral therapy.
I believe in treating everyone with respect, warmth, and compassion. It takes a lot of courage to reach out for help, and I strongly believe that you already possess many strengths and skills that will assist you in overcoming challenges in your life. I look forward to working together with you in a safe, supportive environment to empower you to create change, reach your goals, focus on your well-being, and have a more fulfilling and happy life.
I look forward to connecting with you soon!

Katie is extremely positive, offers empathy and constructive support. She makes the additional effort to maintain contact and offer help beyond and between scheduled appointments. I would highly recommend her to anyone who would benefit from her very warm and reassuring style.

Katie is an amazingly humanizing therapist who listens well and provides incredibly helpful perspectives and resources. She makes you feel heard and does her best to accommodate you however she can. I highly recommend her to people looking for guidance in her areas of expertise, and I hope to work with her more in the future.
