LCSW
Accepting Clients

Hello! I'm Kristen, a LCSW from South Portland. I have experience working in housing, advocacy, case management and now as a therapist.

Clinical Social Worker in South Portland, ME

About My Clients

My clients are moms, neurodivergent people of all ages, teens, members of the LGBTQIA+ community, parents who want to communicate better with their kids, teens who need a listener, and more.

My Background and Approach

I have previously worked in case management, housing, advocacy, and disability services. I work from a client centered standpoint and use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy as well as narrative therapy and Trauma Focused methods. Together, we will work to prioritize what you want to work on and find solutions to the issues that are causing you to feel the most stuck or upset. I do not believe in re-traumatizing yourself for the sake of therapy, but will work with you to figure out how best to address trauma and move forward.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I am a far left, anti-capitalist pagan social worker who is neurodiverse. I am a late-diagnosed AuDHD-er and am all too familiar with the stresses and frustrations of women who are living with a spicy brain. I love animals (I have two rescue dogs and a cat. I am a mom and have two teens and I am an outdoor enthusiast. While I am married to a man, I am bisexual and a part of the LGBTQ community.

I offer online counseling in the following states:
