Robert Taylor, LCSW — Therapist in Maine

Hi there, I'm Robert!

In psychotherapy, we will view the mind as a system of parts that include wounded aspects and protective elements that can conflict with each other and with one's core Self. We will focus on healing these wounded parts and restoring balance. We will work to rewire automatic thoughts and behaviors that are no longer serving present-day life.

My focus

I have found that my approach and style are a good fit for adults navigating anxiety, depression, substance use issues, addiction, ADHD, behavioral issues, chronic impulsivity, codependency, coping skills, dual diagnosis, grief, life transitions, men's issues, relationship issues, self-esteem, stress, trauma and PTSD.

My approach

I empower individuals to overcome life's challenges through compassionate, evidence-based counseling that fosters personal growth and emotional well-being. I specialize in anxiety and stress management, depression, substance use and addiction, relationship issues, life transitions, trauma and PTSD, and self-esteem building.

My communication style

I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Internal Family Systems Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy through a client-centered and strengths-based approach. We'll explore what brought you to therapy and then decide the most appropriate ways to help you make progress.

My journey to mental healthcare

I pursued a career as a therapist after walking my own deep, personal journey. I experienced a transformative process in my own life, which led to a desire to help others find similar healing. Through facing and overcoming my own challenges, I felt that I could relate to clients on a profound level with a deep sense of empathy and understanding.

My goals for you

My goal is to transform lives through therapy that is tailored to each individual's unique needs, helping them achieve their fullest potential. Together, we accomplish client-driven goals using a range of therapeutic modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Internal Family Systems, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy.

Our first session

The first session is about getting to know each other and setting the foundation for future work. It's normal to feel a bit nervous, but this initial meeting is a crucial step towards your mental well-being. We will discuss confidentiality, explore personal goals, gather information to better understand your situation, and set future expectations.
