Grief counselors and therapists in Maine

Born and raised in a healthcare family, I grew up at the dinner table hearing about all things, medicine and healthcare. I went into the field on my own for the first time at 18 years old and have never left. My first degree is a Bachelor of Science In Applied Psychology. I then went and completed a Bachelor of Nursing followed by my Master’s in Nursing and my Post Masters Certificate in Psychiatric Mental Health. I have extensive experience working with children and adolescence as well as adults. I am an engaged active listener, and I excel at making sure patients feel comfortable and heard.

My name is Shannon Murray and I have been in the field for 11 years. I am experienced working with individuals of all ages in the outpatient setting. I have specifically specialized in working with teens and young adults with eating disorders. I have generalized education from my Masters program in social work from the University of Maine guiding my work for individuals who also struggle with anxiety, depression, and interpersonal conflict.

I am a board certified Family, Geriatric, and Psychiatric Mental Health nurse practitioner with additional certifications in Menopausal Hormone Therapy and Integrative Psychiatry. Currently, my practice is solely focused on Women's Issues.

I have been a social worker for 26 years, working in nursing home and hospital settings, as well as experience in Child Protective Services, middle/high school social work, and Domestic Violence work as a Legal Team Leader. I returned to Widener University to obtain my Master's degree in 2015, and have been working as a clinical social worker for almost 5 years, not including 2.5 supervised as an LMSW-CC. My broad range of experience prior to beginning outpatient counseling has proven helpful in many ways throughout my counseling career. I am working to become certified in EMDR in the next few months, and am excited to add this to my offerings alongside more traditional evidence based practices of motivational interviewing and CBT.

When life feels overwhelming and you’re tired of trying to “hold it all together” on your own, therapy can offer a place to pause, feel understood, and find a clearer way forward. I am the owner and director of Monarch Therapy, and as a Clinical Mental Health Counselor I work with individuals, couples, and families to address a variety of emotional and mental health issues. I have worked with adults, children, adolescents, and families in a range of settings for over twenty years, and as a mental health therapist for more than 15 years. Areas of special interest and training include EMDR; post-traumatic stress disorder; trauma-based cognitive behavioral therapy; mood disorders and anxiety; and navigating life transitions.

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

Hey there! I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor based in New Jersey and a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor based out of Maine. I graduated from Rutgers University with a Master’s of Science in Rehabilitation Counseling in Clinical Mental Health. I attained my Approved Clinical Supervisor and Certified Clinical Supervisor in 2023. I've always worked on building a working and therapeutic alliance with my clients. Rapport building is really valuable to me!

So far in my career, I've worked in a residential setting with female survivors of trafficking and exploitation, community mental health, private practice, support lines, and in insurance. Each setting brings different needs, but all have shown me how resilient people are and how anyone can change their life when they're ready.
