Anxiety and depression therapists and psychiatrists in Maine

My passion and area of expertise lie in supporting children and teens through challenging transitions and the stresses of everyday life. I started my mental health career in 2012 as a behavioral health professional supporting children and families in their homes and communities. From 2015 to 2022 I held several positions in residential treatment including direct support provider, clinical case manager, and program clinician. I spent two years working as a middle school social worker helping students develop social-emotional skills and advocating for their educational needs. Since then I have been providing outpatient counseling through a community-based health center to individuals of all ages.

Therapy can be a place to slow down, untangle patterns, and reconnect with yourself. I work with people experiencing burnout, overwhelm, anxiety, depression, and major transitions, with an approach that is compassionate, curious, and practical.

I am a down-to-earth, creative therapist with over 11 years of diverse counseling experience. My practice is deeply anchored in biblical truth, allowing me to blend clinical expertise with spiritual guidance.

I hold a Master’s degree in Professional Counseling from Liberty University. I chose to become a therapist after my own struggles with mental health & lengthy battle with eating disorders. I am passionate to help others battle similar demons & find freedom.

Throughout my career, I have supported clients across a wide range of settings, including schools, psychiatric inpatient care, probation and parole groups, and dual-diagnosis residential recovery programs. I love to work with children, adolescence, and adults. I am passionate about meeting people exactly where they are and walking alongside them on their journey to healing.

I’m a graduate of Columbia University’s School of Social Work and I have been working in community mental health for more than a decade.

Meeting you where you are, with compassion, empathy, and a steady partnership toward your goals. I'm Priscilla Girard, a licensed clinical therapist in Maine offering telehealth therapy to children, teens, adults, and seniors. I work with anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and family or relationship struggles, bringing genuine care and practical tools for moving forward.

Maybe you're carrying something you've never said out loud. Maybe you look fine from the outside and feel worn down underneath it. Either way, you don't need to arrive with the right words or an explanation.

I'm a Clinical Psychologist with over 20 years of experience. I work with people living with trauma and PTSD, including the aftermath of crime and moments of real crisis. A lot of my work also deals with the weight people carry from what the world expects of them: the pressures that come with being a woman or a man, the small daily slights, discrimination, and inequality that add up over the years.

Outside of session you'll usually find me running, on a yoga mat, or watching basketball. I'm convinced cooking and gardening count as therapy too.

I’m a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) who believes everyone deserves a safe, caring space to heal and grow. Reaching out for help takes courage—congratulations on taking that step. I’ve worked with teens and adults dealing with anxiety, depression, and life transitions, using practical tools and a warm, down-to-earth approach. Together we’ll build skills that fit your life and help you feel more connected and in control.
