Jessica Mellon, LCPC-C | Therapist
(Not currently accepting new clients.)
I specialize in working with couples and individuals. Clients come to me who feel depressed, anxious or simply “stuck.” Couples who want to improve their communication, rebuild trust and feel more connected find that they can really work on their relationship with me. I create a warm, open environment where you can explore your thoughts and emotions in a safe space.
Whatever you’re working through, I’m here to help you feel seen and heard. I believe in meeting you where you are right now and working together to get you to a place where you can find balance in your life and peace in your relationships. We will work together to grow your emotional intelligence, which, in turn, will foster ease in your everyday life.
I am passionate about counseling couples with experiential Emotion Focused Therapy. I work to help couples understand what got them to where they are with their partner, and help them to move forward in an emotionally functional way. I help people deal with life transitions, parenting, codependency and women’s issues. I offer premarital and marital counseling. I believe that a strong and trusting client-counselor relationship is paramount to growth and healing.
In my free time, I love spending time with my family, walking my dog and working on New York Times’ crossword puzzles.
I see individual adults and couples. To schedule a free phone consultation, email Jessica.

Caitlyn Madden, LCPC-C
(Not currently accepting new clients.)
My work with individuals and couples begins with meeting you where you are and helping you use your emotional experiences to grow and heal. Whether you’re going through a life transition, a hard time, or feeling stuck, therapy helps you find your rhythm.
Together we build a strong and trusting therapeutic relationship that enables you to explore and discover yourself or your relationship with support and safety. I will be with you every step of the way as you navigate the beautiful and complex journey of your personal growth and self-empowerment.
I’m passionate about helping couples communicate well, learn to be vulnerable and rekindle love and intimacy. I am dedicated to my clients, and I bring awareness, sensitivity and openness to my work. I welcome clients of all backgrounds, beliefs and abilities. I believe every person’s story is sacred, powerful, and worthy of being heard, respected and championed.
When I am not counseling, I enjoy exploring all that Maine has to offer with friends and family, reading a good book, cooking my way through my cookbook collection or planning my next travel adventure. Caitlyn has an M.S. in Counseling from University of Southern Maine, a B.S. from Clemson University and graduated from Le Cordon Bleu Culinary Institute.
I see individuals and couples. To schedule a free phone consultation, email Caitlyn.

Lisa Murray, LCPC-C
(Not currently accepting new clients.)
I believe healing is possible from our own inner wisdom. I help my clients understand themselves more deeply, become more self-aware, and overcome challenges with clarity and inner strength.
I work with adults for individual therapy and specialize in Internal Family Systems, a powerful and transformative therapeutic approach that helps people become integrated and whole. I enjoy helping people work through long-standing family issues.
By establishing an empathic and honest relationship built on trust and mutual respect, we work together on whatever is keeping you from living your life the way you want to.
I enjoy spending time outside boating, skiing and hiking with family and friends. I also love cooking for a crowd as a way to bring people together.
I see individual adults. To schedule a free phone consultation, email Lisa.

Therapist
Nora McElroy, LCSW
(Not currently accepting new clients.)
I believe individuals possess strength, resiliency, and the capacity for change. Through my work in the field of mental health and human services for the past 12 years, I’ve provided therapy to individuals at all life stages and have witnessed remarkable healing and growth.
I provide psychotherapy to adolescents and adults experiencing challenges related to anxiety, depression, trauma, adjustment, life transitions, loss, and interpersonal relationships. My approach is trauma-informed, and I use cognitive behavioral-therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral-therapy (DBT), and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing therapy (EMDR).
I work collaboratively with individuals to overcome trauma, gain insight into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, learn skills and improve their functioning and quality of life.
My interaction style is supportive, candid, and engaging. I regard the therapeutic relationship as one of these most valuable components of
good therapy. My hope is to provide a safe space to reflect, process and grow.
I see individual adults and adolescents. To schedule a free phone consultation, email Nora.
LCSW
Therapist
Maria Crawford, LCPC-C
In my work, it is most important to build a secure and trusting relationship with my clients. Through a supportive and non-judgmental environment, we can work together to meet your goals. No matter the reason you are seeking therapy, it all starts with compassion and empathy. It is my intention to work alongside you to improve yourself and your life.
Through either talk therapy or art therapy, we will explore what you seek to uncover, understand, or heal from. I take pride in having a gentle and accepting demeanor that facilitates real transparency and self-discovery.
I’m grateful to work with people in multiple walks of life from adolescence to older age and can provide services to couples, families, and individuals. I believe you are the expert of your own life, and I am here to help you facilitate acceptance, growth, and change. It is my priority to be honest, reflective, and safe. I have experience with anxiety, depression, relationships, ADHD, trauma, self-esteem, grief, and life transitions.
I earned a Master of Arts in Counseling with a concentration in clinical mental health from Marshall University and a Bachelor of Arts in Family and Child Studies from Montclair State University.
Outside of providing therapy, I am an artist and community leader. I enjoy writing poetry, painting, and holding events that support the arts. My friends and family are fantastically important to me, as well.
I currently have availability for individual adolescents and adults as well as couples. To schedule a free 15-minute consultation, email Maria.

Therapist
Sindee Gozansky, LCPC
As the founder of A Simple Therapy, LLC, I am excited to expand my passion for therapy and accessible mental health treatment to more people throughout the state of Maine.
I obtained my master’s degree in counseling from the University of Southern Maine in 2006, with concentrations in rehabilitation counseling and clinical mental health counseling. My undergraduate degree is from Johns Hopkins University, where I studied humanities, anthropology and education.
I began my private psychotherapy practice in 2007, while continuing to work in community mental health crisis services, an employee assistance program, and disability services. I’ve also been an adjunct instructor at the University of Southern Maine.
My professional work is informed by Gestalt Therapy, as I attended a two-year post graduate training program at the Gestalt Institute of New England in Somerville, MA. I also practice from an Emotionally Focused Therapy lens, having completed the externship and numerous trainings in Emotionally Focused Therapy for Couples.
I believe that psychotherapy, spirituality and real life collide in session, and it’s in that place where we do our deepest work and experience the most profound change.
Currently I am seeing clients, training interns and managing this group practice, all labors of love. I also host a Facebook group for therapists, as well as an online boutique selling merchandise to support therapist identity and mental health awareness.
When I’m not working, I love to run, swim, spend time in the sun and travel.
While I am not currently accepting new clients, please feel free to reach out to me with any questions: email Sindee.
