- LPC
I am licensed in Maine with 4 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger management, & motivation, self esteem, and confidence. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support & empower you in that journey.
I also wanted to add, I have worked with patients and clients at the State's Psychiatric Facility in Augusta, and also had the pleasure to work at Togus the State's primary Veterans' Hospital. In addition to this, I have had the opportunity to work within the Department of Corrections at the Farm and at MSP in Warren, Maine.
During the early years of my career, I have worked in the Augusta Maine area around the State House. All of the people with whom I had the chance to work with are exceptional people, each one with their own skill but with exceptional empathy and compassion traits that are second to none.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Very wise Great listener
Gerard has been amazing to work with.
A great blend of listening, talking, asking questions, giving resources and encouragement via resources and also taking the time to get to know you. It takes a lot to get to know someone and Time. Trust is huge to me and Gerard is someone I feel comfortable building trust with and since I've started therapy I've learned new healthier patterns of thinking and perspectives to my life. In my experience he follows a good ethos that will help guide me to do the same throughout my life.
Great therapist, highly recommended.
