Psychotherapy at Maine Street Medicine offers a thoughtful, integrative approach to emotional healing, psychological well-being, and personal transformation. Care is grounded in traditional psychotherapy and informed by behavioral health, primary care collaboration, and mind–body perspectives.

Sessions provide a supportive space to explore patterns of thought, emotion, and relationship; the effects of trauma, stress, and illness on the nervous system; and the personal stories that shape identity and meaning. Treatment emphasizes collaboration, curiosity, and respect for each person’s lived experience, with care tailored to individual needs rather than a one-size-fits-all model.

Our psychotherapy approach draws from a range of evidence-based and depth-oriented modalities, including relational and dialogical therapies, intersubjective and psychodynamic perspectives, gestalt therapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), trauma-informed methods such as EMDR, and reflective practices including guided imagery, visualization, and the Method of Levels. These approaches may be integrated to support emotional regulation, insight, resilience, and long-term change.

Psychotherapy may be helpful for individuals navigating:

• Anxiety, depression, and mood concerns

• Psychosis and altered states of consciousness

• Chronic pain and chronic illness

• Trauma and stress-related conditions

• Life transitions, identity exploration, and meaning-centered work

Care is offered within an interdisciplinary framework that honors the whole person—psychological, relational, cultural, and physical—and supports healing over time rather than symptom management alone.
