Find a psychiatrist in Maine — covered by insurance

If you've been feeling overwhelmed, lost, or like you're carrying the weight of your struggles completely alone — you're not. And you don't have to be.

As a psychiatric nurse practitioner serving Massachusetts & Maine via telehealth, I specialize in anxiety, depression, and other mood disorders. But more than treating symptoms, I'm focused on understanding you — the whole person behind them. My approach is holistic and collaborative, which means we work together to figure out what wellness actually looks like for your life, not just on paper.

I am a Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) specializing in child, adolescent, and adult psychiatry.

My clinical background includes experience in adult psychiatry and pediatric mental health, working with children, teens, and young adults navigating challenges such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, mood disorders, and school or social stressors. I use evidence-based medication management combined with psychoeducation, supportive guidance, and collaboration with therapists, schools, and families when helpful.

I’m drawn to this work because I genuinely enjoy connecting with young people and helping them grow into healthier, more confident versions of themselves.

I'm Hagan Lawson, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and graduate of Purdue University. I provide psychiatric evaluations, medication management, and supportive therapy for individuals experiencing concerns such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, OCD, and other mental health challenges. My background in both physical and mental health care has shaped the way I practice, I believe understanding the whole person is essential to providing meaningful mental health care. Above all, I want my patients to feel comfortable being themselves and know they will be heard, respected, and involved in their care.

It's amazing to meet you!

I’m Mariam Arabambi, PMHNP-BC, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 15 years of experience in healthcare. I’m passionate about helping individuals find balance, healing, and hope through compassionate, evidence-based care. My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered on your journey toward wellness.

I am an RN with over 18 years of experience in nursing, specializing in mental health care. I am also a PMHNP-BC, and I obtained my first degree from Grand Canyon University and my Masters from Walden University. I manage clients across the lifespan and use a holistic and patient-centered approach.

I am here to listen. We all face mental health challenges at some point in our lives, and sometimes we need help reaching the other side of them. My path to this work has been a long one: I served as a first responder for 10 years and then spent more than 25 years as an emergency room nurse, with the past decade focused specifically on psychiatry in the ER. In those settings, I met people during some of the hardest moments of their lives, and I learned how much of a difference it makes to feel truly heard. Now, as a psychiatric nurse practitioner, I bring that same steadiness and compassion to helping you achieve your goals. If you have found me, chances are you have already tried everything you know and nothing has worked yet. That takes courage, and it tells me you are exactly the kind of person I can help.

My full name is Kathleen, but my friends, colleagues, and clients call me Kat. Prior to completing my Masters of Science in Nursing through Walden University and achieving my Board Certification as a Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner in 2021, I worked at the bedside for 20 years as a Registered Nurse in a variety of care settings that included long term care, home care, ambulatory inpatient care for medically supervised management of a variety of withdrawal syndromes related to substance use disorders, and most recently as a critical care nurse in a Medical Intensive Care Unit (MICU), both before and during the COVID pandemic. Throughout my bedside career, the inherent connection between mental and physical health has always been apparent to me, and working with people that struggle with substance use disorder helped me in making my decision to become a psychiatric specialized provider. I am passionate about psychiatry and assisting people in optimizing their mental health.

It can be difficult to find mental health support, and even more challenging to find the RIGHT support. Whether you are at the beginning of a journey, wanting to maintain a current course, or have tried various interventions and now want something different, I may be able to help. I work with clients to create care plans that support long term improvement and avoid overmedication that can destroy creativity and lead to the "zombie" effect. My goal is to shift the focus from "what is wrong?" to "how can things improve?"

After years as a woodsman, fisherman, emergency room nurse, and paramedic, I finally went to medical school, later than most, and already filled with life experiences. I live with my wife of forty years and have a wonderful collection of children and grandchildren. I love animals and all of the natural world.

I am a board certified Family, Geriatric, and Psychiatric Mental Health nurse practitioner with additional certifications in Menopausal Hormone Therapy and Integrative Psychiatry. Currently, my practice is solely focused on Women's Issues.
