ADHD therapists and psychiatrists in Maine

I am a dedicated psychiatric nurse practitioner with over 20 years of experience in both acute care and psychiatric nursing. In my practice, I believe that understanding your issues is the first step toward healing. I take the time to truly listen to your experiences, validating your feelings, and recognizing the weight of what you’re going through. With a holistic approach to psychiatric and medical management, I specialize in the medication management of ADHD, Anxiety, OCD, Trauma, Borderline Personality Disorder, Depression, and Insomnia. Together, we’ll work to help you find the balance and peace you deserve.

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.

Therapy isn’t supposed to feel like performance. It’s supposed to feel like relief.

I’m Kristen — a licensed clinical social worker who’s spent over 20 years supporting people through transitions, overwhelm, and deep life work. I live in South Portland, Maine with my family, and I understand firsthand the emotional labor, coordination, and internal pressure that come with being a capable, high-achieving woman and mother.

As someone who is neurodivergent myself, I intimately understand the cost of masking — and what it takes to stop performing and start feeling and living.

Are you ready to live better? If you struggle with anxiety, anger, stress, depression, grief, or have experienced trauma, I can help. I am a psychotherapist who provides a safe and welcoming environment for you to process difficult experiences and ultimately heal and find peace. I have extensive experience working with individuals from the LGBTQAI+ community and I honor and embrace diversity in sexuality and gender.

We believe that healing, wholeness, and true peace are possible at every stage of life. Life can bring seasons of transition, uncertainty, loss, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and questions about who we are and where we are going. You do not have to navigate those seasons alone.

As a nonprofit organization, our mission is to bring hope, joy, and healing to our neighbors. Through counseling, we come alongside individuals and families with compassion, curiosity, and respect for each person's unique story. We create a space to slow down, make sense of what you're experiencing, understand how the past and present shape your life, and discover new ways of moving forward.

I'm interested in helping you become your best, authentic self - whatever that looks like! Therapy is about relationships -- the relationship between therapist and client as well as the relationship the client has with themselves and others. My goal as a therapist is for you to feel seen, heard, and understood and to take that capacity and generalize it throughout your lived experience. As a therapist, I examine your memories, perceptions, and presence to paint a vibrant picture of who you are.

I have a special interest in women’s mental health, including pregnancy and postpartum support.

My goal is simple: help you feel better in a way that fits your life.
