Finding a counselor, psychologist, or Therapist in Maine
Finding a therapist in Maine is hard regardless of where you live, whether it’s Portland, Lubec, Lewiston, or any community or rural area in the state. No one is taking new clients. And if they are, they aren’t someone who is providing therapy to help with your problem.
Maine is considered one of the most beautiful and livable states in the United States. And that doesn’t change the pain that you feel living day to day with the problems that you just can’t solve on your own. I love my state and want my neighbors and anyone who lives in Maine to have the best life possible. If you are looking for a life coach, counselor, therapist, or psychologist- I’d like to help you find someone who can help.
I want to help you find a therapist in Maine
You’ve got to start somewhere, and knowing what you need to know will help you to find help as soon as possible.
Here are my recommendations for you:
Finding a Therapist in Maine Step #1: Define Your Needs and Goals
Tip: Reflect on what you’re seeking support for—do you need help dealing with anxiety, or depression? Or is there something that you do that you realize is hurting you, a behavior you can’t seem to stop, or a way of thinking that feels terrible? Are you navigating life transitions? Do you need help setting goals? Or are you sure that you can grow and want a guide?
Benefit: This clarity will help you decide whether therapy or coaching is more suitable for your needs.
Finding a Therapist in Maine Step #2: Consider the Type of Support You Need
Therapy: This is the support you need if you’re dealing with mental health issues such as anxiety or panic, depression, or OCD or if you are overwhelmed by negative thoughts and feelings. If you have experienced trauma and it still upsets you, or if you are not free of the impact of things that happened in your childhood that were frightening or left you feeling alone, therapy can address the causes and conditions that give rise to these things and provide interventions that will bring relief. A therapist or counselor can provide you with clinical support, diagnosis, and evidence-based treatment. Relationship challenges and domestic abuse, eating disorders, life transitions, aging, identity crises, low self-esteem, parenting difficulties, physical health challenges, social difficulties, and stress are all issues for which you would choose therapy.
Coaching: If you’re looking to achieve specific life or career goals, overcome personal obstacles, or enhance your performance, a life coach might be the right fit. Coaching tends to be more goal-oriented and future-focused.
