Hey!
I am Carrie, a licensed clinical social worker practicing in Maine and Alabama. After graduating from the University of Alabama in 2012, I have used my training to serve in various roles including hospice social work, school based therapy, and private practice.
My approach is one that is centered on growth and not perfection. My specialties are helping clients with issues related to trauma, anxiety, bereavement/ grief, and major life changes. My clients are of various ages and backgrounds. I have formal training in EMDR, CBT, Solution Focused Therapy, and Play Therapy. I am also a Certified School Social Worker in New York City where I utilize Restorative Justice techniques with a clinical focus with adolescents.
Welcome to my profile and thank you for stopping by. I am based in Maine but am licensed in Rhode Island, Florida, Maine and Vermont. I am here to support you to work on your goals.
I am here to listen. We all face mental health challenges at some point in our lives, and sometimes we need help reaching the other side of them. My path to this work has been a long one: I served as a first responder for 10 years and then spent more than 25 years as an emergency room nurse, with the past decade focused specifically on psychiatry in the ER. In those settings, I met people during some of the hardest moments of their lives, and I learned how much of a difference it makes to feel truly heard. Now, as a psychiatric nurse practitioner, I bring that same steadiness and compassion to helping you achieve your goals. If you have found me, chances are you have already tried everything you know and nothing has worked yet. That takes courage, and it tells me you are exactly the kind of person I can help.
I am a dedicated and compassionate licensed independent clinical social worker with a Master's in Social Work from Boston University.
I'm Dr. Cheri Carter, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with a PhD in Family Studies.
I specialize in perinatal care and women's health issues. I am dedicated to helping women face the challenges related to infertility, loss, and the postpartum period. I also specialize in nutrition and how that is closely related to mental health. With my unique holistic approach we can reduce negative though patterns and increase positive relationship internally and externally.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Maine
Searching for therapists in Maine starts with finding someone whose training matches what you want support with. Across the state, therapy needs and available therapists can vary between larger communities and rural areas. You may be looking for care related to anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship challenges, grief, or major life changes. As you compare Maine therapists, look for listed specialties, therapy approaches, and experience with concerns like yours. Bios can also show whether a therapist uses approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, or trauma-informed care.
Location and format can also shape your search for a Maine therapist. If you live near Portland, Augusta, or Bangor, you may find more in-person options nearby. In smaller towns or rural areas, virtual therapy can expand the number of therapists available to you. You can narrow your search by appointment availability, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, free phone consultations, and session format. Reading profiles before booking can help you understand how a therapist describes their style, what sessions may look like, and whether their schedule fits yours.
The cost of therapy in Maine varies, and using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you search for Maine therapists who take insurance, review estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book, and schedule directly when you are ready. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, and coverage depends on your location and specific plan. You can browse therapists, review bios, check your insurance, and book care that matches your needs.
