Therapist

Greetings! My name is Emily and I bring over a decade of clinical experience to our sessions as well as certifications in holistic disciplines such as yoga teacher training and reiki. I’m trained in EMDR which I’ve found to be immensely helpful for many individuals in processing trauma and anxiety-based blockages. I have additional expertise in treating PTSD, parenting support, body positivity, relationship stressors, healing from abuse, OCD, and personality disorders. I also care deeply about systemic oppression and advocacy, the spiritual elements of healing, and maximizing the mind-body connection with somatic practices to regulate the nervous system. I also believe all individuals contain a deeply creative voice and that nurturing and igniting this voice is key to sustained recovery.

Renee Armstrong-Hay

Therapist

Virtual • Maine


Hi, I’m a licensed clinical social worker with over 14 years of experience supporting individuals and families through life’s challenges. Since beginning my work in 2009, I’ve provided therapy across community-based, office, and virtual settings, giving me a well-rounded understanding of how to meet clients where they are—both practically and emotionally.

I specialize in working with anxiety, OCD, panic disorder, and trauma-related concerns. I understand how overwhelming these experiences can feel, and I’m passionate about helping clients make sense of what’s happening beneath the surface while building practical, sustainable tools for change.

My approach is both compassionate and structured. I draw from evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), helping clients identify patterns, develop coping strategies, and move toward greater emotional regulation and confidence in their daily lives.

I believe therapy works best when it feels safe, collaborative, and real. Whether you're navigating persistent anxiety, intrusive thoughts, past trauma, or current life stressors, my goal is to support you in feeling more grounded, understood, and equipped to move forward.

Therapist

I work with adults 55 and older who are dealing with big life changes — illness, caregiving, grief, retirement, or simply finding themselves in a chapter they didn’t plan for.

A lot of my clients come in because something has shifted. A diagnosis. A loss. The exhaustion of caring for someone else. Or that feeling of, “This isn’t the life I pictured.”

I’ve worked for many years alongside palliative care teams and with people living with serious illness. I understand how overwhelming medical decisions, uncertainty, and anticipatory grief can be.

I also know loss personally. My husband died after a battle with cancer, and rebuilding my own life changed how I sit with others. I don’t just understand this work professionally — I’ve lived parts of it.

Most of the people I see aren’t looking for years of therapy. They want a place to sort through what’s happening, get steadier, and figure out what comes next. We usually work together for a focused stretch — anywhere from a few sessions to a few months.

We meet by telehealth. It’s simple and private, and I’ll handle the logistics.
