Welcome! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor that believes in working collaboratively with her clients to meet goals set forth by the client. The journey to wellness includes validation, empowerment, and a comfortable therapeutic relationship to allow you to grow and reach each goal that you set. I specialize in Cognitive-Behavioral and Solution Focused approaches that allow you to get specific about your goals and empower you to achieve them, however I do not believe in a "one size fits all" approach to therapy and adjust my approaches according my clients and their therapy goals. My approach is warm and friendly and building the therapeutic alliance is important to me. My Master's Degree is in Human Behavior with a specialization in counseling. I have been a licensed clinician for over 5 years and worked closely with clients suffering from depression, stress/anxiety, self-esteem, and trauma/abuse. I also have experience in regard to substance abuse, life transition, family dynamics, career counseling, and foster care/adoption. No matter what the presenting issues my approach is compassionate and non-judgmental. I believe you are the expert of your life. When I am not working you can find me spending time with my family and our dog. I enjoy being outside whenever possible, to just enjoy the sunshine or go for walks/hikes. I am an avid sports fan and follow the Boston Red Sox and Bruins. My favorite wellness activities include yoga and meditation. The decision to engage in therapy is a huge step toward a happier and healthier life. I look forward to working with you!

Hi! My name is Lauren. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker/Psychotherapist. At times, life can feel overwhelming, leaving you stressed, uncertain, or disconnected without fully understanding why. You may not even be aware of the deeper patterns in your thoughts, behaviors, or ways of coping that contribute to these feelings. Therapy can provide the space to explore these experiences, uncover what may be holding you back, and help you find a clearer, more peaceful path forward. Together, we’ll work to identify new perspectives and strategies that allow you to feel more aligned with your true self, empowering you to live a life that is more balanced, fulfilling, and authentic. I offer a warm, direct, and interactive approach to therapy, supporting adults through various challenges, including: Adult Children of Addicts, long-distance relationships, grief and loss, life transitions, existential crises, the emotional impacts of chronic illness, and immigration and acculturation. It takes courage to seek support from a therapist to begin or continue addressing the challenges that keep you from living a happier life. Congratulations on achieving the first step of your journey to health. I look forward to working with you! :)

Welcome! My name is Emily and I am a licensed professional counselor in the states of Maine, New Hampshire and Wisconsin. I have over 20 years of experience working in the mental health field. I feel so committed to this kind of work; the ability to partner with others and help them see their strengths and abilities to empower them. I strive to create a healing space where growth, understanding and change can occur. I love the quote by Carl Jung, "We are not what happened to us, we are who we choose to become." This is what I think therapy is all about; guiding others to embrace that their past does not define them. This is not just a philosophy or modality of a treatment. It is a way of being and seeing in the world, a way of seeing the potential and nobility in anything or anyone.

You're ready to actually do something different. You've probably tried therapy before. Maybe it helped for a bit, but something was missing. Or maybe you spent months talking in circles without any real change. I work differently. I'm direct, a little weird, and allergic to therapy BS. If you want someone to just validate you endlessly without challenge, I'm not your person. But if you're ready to take an honest look at yourself, try new perspectives, and actually make moves? We'll work well together. I'm especially good with people who: - Know they want something different but keep getting stuck on "what now?" - Feel like they're constantly choosing between being authentic and connecting with others - Are tired of surface-level conversations and want to dig into real solutions - Have a low tolerance for fluff and want therapy that actually goes somewhere - Are action-oriented and willing to experiment What you should know: I've spent 15+ years working with everything from addiction to severe mental health crises to everyday relationship and life challenges. I bring addictions counseling training (LAC) along with my clinical license, which means I understand how people actually change - not just in theory. My approach: We figure out what's actually blocking you, we try things, we adjust based on what works. I'm going to ask you to look at hard truths sometimes. I'm also going to help you see your own strengths and possibilities you might not have considered. Practical details: - Available Tuesday-Thursday, 9am-4pm Mountain Time - I respond to messages outside these hours as I'm able - Licensed in Washington, Montana, and Maine If you're ready to move forward instead of just talking about moving forward, let's work together.
