Shannon Trainor, LCSW — Therapist in Maine

Hi there, I'm Shannon!

I work with substance use, addiction, trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and eating disorders. I bring extensive experience supporting individuals through these challenges.

My focus

I have worked with adults, adolescents, and families throughout my career. I see clients who struggle with substance use and addiction, current or past traumas, anxiety and depression, eating disorders, as well as family systems work with substance use disorders.

My approach

I utilize CBT, solution-focused therapy, and DBT skills in my practice and have worked extensively with adults, adolescents, families, and women.

My communication style

I meet every client where they are at when we first begin, and help them to identify their goals for treatment and help them to achieve those goals throughout our sessions. I offer a safe space for clients, which also means holding clients accountable and challenging them as needed.

My goals for you

I discuss with the client what they want to get out of therapy and begin to develop realistic, attainable goals with clear interventions and timeframes. We will then continue to address these goals and work towards them in each session and update on progress as needed.

Our first session

The first session is to begin to establish a relationship with each other and discuss what brought them to seek therapy in the first place.
