Cogntive behavioral therapy and psychiatric servcies in downtown Bangor Maine

Our approach

We believe effective mental health treatment should be collaborative, individualized, and grounded in evidence-based care. Our practice emphasizes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with a strong behavioral focus for a variety of conditions including anxiety, depression, sleep, trauma, and relationship challenges. We help clients identify patterns that may be contributing to emotional distress while developing strategies that support meaningful and lasting change. Treatment is not one-size-fits-all: every care plan is tailored to the individual’s needs, goals, lifestyle, and preferences.
