Specialties
One of my passions is working with individuals who have ADHD or other learning and processing differences that cause challenges in their lives. Research has suggested that ADHD informed treatment and coaching are the most effective strategies for supporting clients to learn about their own «brand» of ADHD and how it impacts their life. Coaching is client centered and allows the client to focus on the goals that are most important to them. With the support, questioning, and accountability provided by a coach, client develop greater insight and move in action towards their goals.
Sessions are offered via phone or F2 °F.

History
Established in 2001.
My private practice was established in 200 after realizing that I prefer to focus on clients rather than agency politics. In 2004 I established the nonprofit organization Back on Track (backontrackme.org) to provide services to youth who were at risk for involvement in the juvenile justice system. I have worked in the local school system and for community mental health agencies. Finding myself more passionate when I can freely pursue my own interests, I returned to working full-time for my favorite boss (me) in private practice in 2010. I am currently working with individuals and families affected by ADHD or other learning differences. I am licensed in Maine as a Clinical Psychologist and am in the process of certification as an ADHD Coach.
Meet the Business Owner
Kirsten M.
Business Owner
I grew up outside of New York City and attended SUNY Stony Brook in Long Island. After graduating with my BA in psychology I attended the Clinical Psychology program at California School of Professional Psychology (CSPP, now Alliant University) and completed my internship at the Bronx VA. I then spent a year working as a psychologist for the New York Police Department. I have worked as a psychologist in the Portland area since 1998.
While I am passionate about my work, I am more passionate and totally in love with my amazing children, family, and the life we share together. As I’m writing this it is summer time in Maine. «Life as it should be.»
