Anxiety and depression therapists and psychiatrists in Maine

Hi, I’m Melanie, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and the owner of Rise Again Counseling. I provide virtual therapy to teens and adults across Maine, supporting people through anxiety, depression, trauma, life changes, and ongoing stress. My background includes working in outpatient mental health, and I’ve built my practice to be a place where people feel comfortable, understood, and supported as they work through what’s weighing on them.

I’m a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner providing collaborative, patient-centered medication management for adults.

After nearly 10 years of providing therapy services I have learned that therapy is not a one-size-fits-all treatment modality. Therapy is an opportunity to build skills that you can utilize during and beyond therapy, throughout the many chapters of life. My aim is to help facilitate conversations with curiosity, humor, empathy, and flexibility that explore root causes of patterns and cycles that we all get stuck in. I knew I wanted to become a therapist while teaching music to kids as a part of The Young Americans. This led me to want to know why music and talking were so powerful. Family therapy specifically became an interest in seeing how treating the system creates long-lasting and powerful change. I continue to use creative ways to address healing.

Welcome to my practice! I am an LCSW psychotherapist with over 20 years of experience working in various roles in community mental health settings and acute mental healthcare. I bring intellectual and emotional competence, integrity, ethics, and empathy to my work, fostering compassionate and collaborative mental health care for individuals who are struggling. I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, PTSD, personality disorders, bipolar disorders, OCD, and psychotic disorders.

I’m a licensed therapist with more than 20 years of experience in behavioral health. I trained at Goddard College, earned my doctorate in public health from Tulane University, and am licensed to practice in both Maine and Vermont.

I work with individuals navigating a wide range of emotional, relational, and life challenges. My approach is grounded in an existential perspective, which means I help clients explore questions of meaning, identity, connection, and how their environments shape their wellbeing. I believe that even healthy people can become symptomatic in unhealthy environments, and I work collaboratively with clients to better understand their experiences, build insight, and move toward lives that feel more authentic and sustainable.

My goal is to offer a thoughtful, supportive space where clients can reflect, heal, and make meaningful change.

I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who shows up with warmth, curiosity, and zero judgment. Think of me as the therapist who feels human, someone who listens deeply, honors your story, and helps you make sense of patterns that no longer serve you. As a Caribbean-American woman, I also understand the unspoken cultural layers that often shape how we cope, communicate, and carry our experiences. My goal is to create a space where you feel seen, safe, and empowered to grow at your own pace.

I am dedicated to supporting women in finding freedom, balance and clarity in their lives. I bring over three decades of experience in working with women and families, using a holistic and trauma informed approach. My background includes training in mindfulness based cognitive therapy, somatic practices, emotional freedom techniques, meditation and yoga. I specialize in helping clients navigate anxiety, life transitions, trauma and relationship challenges with compassion and practical tools. My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where you feel empowered to heal, grow and live fully on your own terms.

I'm Dr. Cheri Carter, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with a PhD in Family Studies.

It's so hard to ask for help, isn't it? I specialize in grief, and my clients are frequently depressed, anxious, and overwhelmed by the complexity of their circumstances and emotions. I help people grieve, build resilience, and navigate a new chapter. Many of my clients are experiencing caregiver strain as they begin caring for elderly parents or spouses, and I provide guidance on a variety of stressors related to caregiving.
