Grief counselors and therapists in Maine

Mental health struggles impact everyone. It is up to us to take action to seek out those professionally trained to help us navigate our challenges. This assists us in achieving our goals of better coping, higher functioning, and creating stronger connections that result in happier, more resilient and better versions of ourselves. I have experience working with clients from every socioeconomic background and most diagnoses including those who struggle with the lasting effects of ongoing or past substance use and trauma. I have a greater understanding of the impacts declining mental health can have on every aspect of our lives.

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.

Hello! My name is Torri-Marie Pappas and I have been working with children, adolescents, adults, and their families since 2000; first as a special education teacher then as a social worker for more than 10 years. I completed my undergraduate degree at the University of Maine Farmington with a BA in psychology and a BS in early childhood education with K-3 Certification. I completed my Master's in Education at Lesley University in 2012. I later completed my Master's in Clinical Social Work at Capella University in March 2022.

Hello! I am accepting new clients at this time.

My name is Angelica, and I am a clinical-level social worker. I have been working in the field of social services for the past 12 years.

After completing my MSW, I started as a school-based social worker, and I have been doing this ever since. I love being able to help people and hear their stories. Everyone has a story to tell, and someone should be there to support and listen.

I think of myself as a responsive, strengths-based, and empathetic counselor. I think everyone deserves grace, and often everyone is going through something that no one knows about. I have had the privilege to work with a wide variety of people, including youth, adults, elderly, adolescents, people with disabilities, and many other people in between. From crisis intervention services, to individual, to group-based therapy, and social skills groups. I have dabbled in a bit of everything in the field so far. I like getting to know the person I am working with, and then coming up with a plan together about what can help!
