Sara Willey, NP — Psychiatrist in Maine

Hi there, I'm Sara!

I specialize in psychiatry and family practice. I enjoy working with people of all ages and backgrounds. When I treat patients, I focus on them as a person and not as a disease or symptom.

My focus

I enjoy working with individuals of all ages. I am comfortable treating everything from anxiety and depression to more severe mental illnesses such as bipolar disorder and schizophrenia.

My approach

My goal is to treat each patient holistically and as an individual. I work to understand each person's background and how that impacts them today, while finding the right treatment protocol to address their concerns. In my practice, the patient guides their treatment while I provide accurate and up-to-date medical and mental health information.

My communication style

When you work with me, you can expect to be heard. I do my best to understand both what brought you to see me in the first place and what your goals are with seeking treatment. I will never force my opinion on you, but I will offer you the best guidance I can to ensure that you reach your goals.

My journey to mental healthcare

The compassion shown to me by others during a difficult time made me realize that I wanted to have a career where I could give back to my community. Becoming a Nurse Practitioner felt like the best way for me to achieve that goal. I love running, traveling, reading, and learning new things.

My goals for you

Patients in my practice are in charge of setting their goals for treatment. I offer them direction and realistic expectations, discuss areas of concern that they might not have thought of, and encourage them to look at all possibilities.

Our first session

During our first session, we will discuss you! I want to know how I can best help you and what is causing you to struggle at this time. We will go over your personal history, medical history, and psychiatric history. This is the chance for me to get to understand who you are and what you want out of treatment.
