I am a licensed clinical psychologist with more than 20 years of experience providing evidence-based mental health care to adolescents and adults. I specialize in working with individuals experiencing depression, anxiety, mood disorders, life stressors, and other emotional challenges. I also have extensive expertise in the assessment and management of suicide risk. My goal is to provide a supportive environment where you feel comfortable talking openly about what you are experiencing while we work together to identify practical, evidence-based ways to help you feel and function better.
For more than two decades, I served as a psychologist in the Department of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP). During my time there, I conducted comprehensive diagnostic evaluations, provided individual and group therapy, and developed treatment plans for adolescents and families experiencing a wide range of psychiatric and emotional concerns. I also co-developed the Child and Adolescent Mood Program (CHAMP), a specialized clinical program focused on evaluating and treating young people with mood disorders.
My work at CHOP gave me particularly deep experience helping adolescents and families navigate depression, mood disorders, anxiety, emotional distress, and complex mental health concerns. It also reinforced the importance of understanding what is happening not only from the patient's perspective, but within the broader context of family, school, relationships, development, and everyday life.
In addition to my clinical work, I have an extensive background in academic research, including research involving youth mood disorders and perinatal depression. I have also supervised and trained psychology interns, postdoctoral fellows, and psychiatry residents.
I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 16 years of nursing experience across behavioral health, trauma, critical care, geriatrics, and nursing leadership. Throughout my career, I have seen how deeply mental health affects every part of a person’s life, their relationships, work, sleep, confidence, physical health, and ability to feel like themselves.
I provide psychiatric evaluations and medication management for clients navigating depression, anxiety, ADHD, trauma-related symptoms, mood changes, insomnia, stress, burnout, and life transitions.
My style is warm, empowering, holistic, and solution-oriented. I believe healing begins with feeling heard, understood, and supported without judgment. My goal is to help clients feel less stuck, reconnect with themselves, and move toward feeling whole again. Together, we will look beyond symptoms and explore the life experiences, stressors, sleep patterns, medical concerns, relationships, and personal goals that may be affecting your mental health.
I want clients to leave care feeling informed, hopeful, and equipped with a plan that helps them optimize what matters most and build a life they can truly enjoy.
I am a husband, a father of two adult children, and a corgi dad. I am not a true Mainer as I moved here about 4 years ago from Pennsylvania where I spent most of my life. But, I have adopted Maine as my own. I love the outdoors and spend as much time as I can in them.
As far as the more formal stuff, I spent a lot of time in school. My credentials include a Bachelor of Science in Biology from Ursinus College, a Masters of Education in Counseling from Rutgers University, an Executive Masters of Business Administration in Healthcare Administration from California Pacific University, a Masters and Doctorate in Clinical Psychology and a Juris Doctorate in Law all from Widener University.
I have 20+ years management experience in behavioral health, managed care, academia and private practice settings. I have run my private practice for more than 30 years, have been a program administrator, corporate compliance/privacy officer, clinical director, program chairperson, and director of quality management during my career. I have taught at more than 20 colleges and universities. I have advised, supervised, trained, and taught hundreds of graduate students and professional counselors. I have also presented at many state, regional and national conferences and provided numerous trainings to social service and criminal justice professionals.
Hi, I’m a Board Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I graduated from Drexel University with my Master's degree in Nursing. I then completed my Post-Graduate Certificate in Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I have over twenty years of experience working in healthcare. Psych has always been my passion. My experiences encompass working with clients across the life span, including Child and Adolescents, Adult, and Geriatric patient populations. I’ve provided services to clients presenting with many psychiatric disorders, such as Anxiety, Depression, ADHD, Bipolar Disorder, and more. I’m in the belief that mental health wellbeing is a priority. Human beings are resilient. Holistic care is the key to promoting better patient outcomes. Therefore, I believe that with an evidence-based practice treatment plan consisting of psychotherapy and/or a combination of psychotherapy and medication management, one will be able to control their mental health.
I’m a very compassionate, caring, and empathetic person. I strive to provide holistic care and collaborate with my clients to develop a treatment plan that they are comfortable with.
My name is Leilani and I’m a dual-certified Family and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, and I believe feeling heard is just as important as any treatment plan. My background in both primary care and mental health, along with my experience as a military veteran and spouse, helps me understand how stress, health, and life experiences are often deeply intertwined. I work with adults facing anxiety, depression, trauma, and big life transitions, and I take time to listen before offering guidance. My goal is to create a calm, supportive space where we can talk things through together and move forward in a way that feels manageable and right for you.
As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I believe that there comes a time when prioritizing our mental health needs becomes the key to being productive and happy in our day to day lives. Putting ourselves first generally can be a struggle and something that does not come easy, so taking the first step is key. I have had the opportunity to work for the last 20 years as a therapist within a school-based mental health program working with adolescents and teenagers and help them deal with managing anxiety, depression, and ADHD.
Welcome to Advanced Psychiatric Solution, a premier mental health practice specializing in comprehensive psychiatric evaluations and evidence-based medication management for adults, teens, and children.

I hold dual board certifications, having graduated from the University of Pittsburgh as a Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP) and Herzing University as a Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP). Additionally, my background includes years of specialized clinical training as an Oncology Nurse Practitioner. This medical expertise gives me a profound, holistic understanding of how chronic illnesses, cancer treatments, and physical diagnoses intersect with psychiatric symptoms.

I know reaching out for therapy can feel overwhelming, and finding the right fit matters. You don’t have to have everything figured out before starting. Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, stress, feeling stuck, relationship challenges, life transitions, overwhelming emotions, or patterns that no longer feel helpful, therapy can be a place to slow down and better understand what’s going on.
I strive to create a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you feel comfortable showing up as yourself. Clients often describe me as compassionate, down to earth, and easy to talk to. Together, we’ll work to better understand what’s keeping you stuck, build practical tools, and create meaningful changes that feel realistic and aligned with your goals.
Hello! My name is Kimberly or you can call me Kim. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 8+ years of experience in counseling and therapy. I enjoy working with teens and young adults, as well as anyone who is open to making changes in their life. I am strengths-based and solution-focused.
I specialize in helping adults and young adults manage anxiety disorders, panic attacks, chronic stress, and burnout using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and other evidence-based approaches. I also support clients experiencing depression, trauma-related symptoms, and life transitions that feel overwhelming or hard to manage alone.
Many of the people I work with are functioning well but internally overwhelmed—dealing with constant worry, racing thoughts, physical symptoms of anxiety, or a persistent sense of being “on edge.” Others notice anxiety affecting their sleep, focus, relationships, or ability to relax and enjoy life.
I have spent most of my professional life helping people manage stress, burnout, trauma, change, and the general emotional chaos that comes with being human. With a background spanning clinical counseling, higher education, leadership development, special education, and mental health advocacy, I bring both deep expertise and genuine relatability to the therapy process. I have presented nationally on topics like compassion fatigue, resilience, and trauma, but believe some of the best therapeutic work still happens in simple, honest conversations where people finally feel heard.
Hi, I’m Sarné (Shar-nay), a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 15 years of nursing and psychiatric experience. I believe mental health care should feel supportive, collaborative, and free of judgment. I work with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, stress, and life transitions.
As a professional, mother, and caregiver myself, I understand how overwhelming life can become. My goal is to create a safe, compassionate space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered to move toward lasting emotional wellness.
I am committed to lifelong learning and providing care grounded in the latest evidence. I have completed the Certified Integrative Mental Health Professional (CIMHP) training through the Nutritional and Integrative Medicine for Mental Health Professionals program. This advanced training has expanded my knowledge of nutrition, sleep, physical activity, stress management, gut health, and other evidence-informed lifestyle approaches that can complement traditional psychiatric treatment when appropriate. These strategies are thoughtfully integrated into care and are intended to support—not replace—evidence-based psychiatric treatment, including medication management, psychotherapy, and collaborative care.
Whether you’re seeking support for the first time or looking for a provider who takes a whole-person approach to mental health, I look forward to partnering with you on your journey toward healing, resilience, and lasting wellness.
