Welcome! I am Innes, the energetic owner and counselor of Black Cat Counseling LLC in Maine. Over the past 3 years as a counselor, I've worked with adolescents, teenagers and adults with anxiety disorders, PTSD, and brain injury. I am also EMDR certified for those with PTSD who are interested in learning more about this intervention. Art and play therapy are other means for emotional expression I'll use with clients, even on the telehealth platform.
My telehealth private practice is centered in taking a holistic approach in supporting a diverse collection of people with their mental health concerns. With every client, I use the Rogerian skills of empathy, genuineness, and active listening, along with other strengths based interventions. I believe it is important to meet a client where they are at and that they lead their treatment goals. Going to counseling can be nerve-wracking and I do my best to create a comfortable and safe space on the screen.
My sweet black cat, Spectra, will also be a frequent fixture on the screen as well. She has been tagging along in sessions since she was only 10 weeks old!
