Hello. My name is Mark Williams. I am a licensed clinical social worker with 28 plus years of experience in the counseling field. I have worked with clients who have a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, trauma, addiction and relationship issues. I have extensive experience in treating alcohol and other drug problems. My counseling style is warm and non judgmental. I believe that focusing on client self care is very important. My approach is a combination of both psychodynamic and cognitive behavioral counseling. I will listen, provide feedback and help you find ways to deal with emotional issues. I know that change can be difficult. I would be more than happy to work collaboratively with you to address the issues you bring up in counseling.

Do you want to alleviate emotional suffering and improve your mental well-being? Have your unhelpful thought patterns taken over your life? Gain control over your thoughts, emotions, and feelings and find more positive ways to deal with life's ups and downs. We are all especially challenged in 2022! Together we can work to challenge and change maladaptive thinking patterns that cause anxiety, depression and other emotional issues. It's never too late to create a happier, and more peaceful life!

Does it seem like no matter what you do, you can’t get ahead? Life itself can feel like a battlefield. Maybe you’re a college student struggling with a lot of sudden changes, or you might be on probation, adjusting to the world again. No matter what you’re going through, I believe you have a story to tell, and you deserve to be heard. I’m here to accept you as you are, with no judgment. When you’re ready, I’ll help you write the next chapter of your story, so it can look more like the life you want it to be. I help adults who are dealing with addiction, depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, and more. I use approaches like CBT, Motivational Interviewing, EMDR, and Solution-Focused Therapy, so you can learn to react to problems in a new way. I’m here as a listening ear, but I’ll also help you take action. Part of my job is to challenge you–I want you to be able to take skills from therapy and apply them to everyday life. Imagine if life was a little bit easier. What if you had more confidence and could advocate for yourself? What if trauma didn’t weigh you down? Your demons don’t have to control your life forever. Together we can tackle anything that’s holding you back so you can freely move forward. I’m ready to hear your story!

Hello, and thank you for taking the time out of today to focus on you. My name is Colleen Clark and I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor and practicing therapist in Portland, Maine. My approach to counseling integrates classical therapeutic approaches, mindfulness and artistic modalities. I believe strongly that any therapeutic relationship in which the therapist is held up as an expert is innately flawed. You are the expert on you. In sessions, I will work with you to build a relationship built on mutual respect and trust, and seek to create a safe and nurturing space in which you can uncover and listen to your own intrinsic wisdom. Throughout our lives we are repeatedly told who we are or who we ought to be by others and then, in turn, we repeat those messages to ourselves. These repeated messages can often be damaging, detrimental and deeply ingrained. In sessions we will work together to differentiate between your true experience of self and that which was imposed on you. This process can often be challenging and painful, but I will work with you at your pace to process those challenges and pains as they arise. Ultimately, through our work together, I hope that you will conclude therapy in a place of greater congruence, self-actualization and peace. Throughout my education and in my over five years of practice I have come to specialize in working with those who are struggling with anxiety, depression, self-esteem, communication, substance use, disordered eating, transitional periods of life, difficulties in interpersonal relationships, and persons healing from trauma. I am experienced in working with adults, couples, and adolescents ages eleven to eighteen. I applaud you for your courage in exploring this new chapter. Change is challenging and I am honored to be a part of helping you enact that change. Thank you for considering me to help you on your journey. I look forward to working with you.
