My path into this work didn’t come from one place—it came from a deep curiosity about what truly helps people change.

Early on, I was trained to support others through talk therapy, and I saw how powerful it could be to be witnessed, understood, and held in difficult moments. But over time, I began to notice that insight alone wasn’t always enough. People could understand their patterns, yet still feel stuck.

That led me to explore the body—how we carry emotion, how we hold tension, and how healing often requires more than words. Through movement, breath, and presence, I saw people begin to shift in ways that felt more real, more lasting.

And still, something felt incomplete.

There was a deeper layer—something connected to meaning, to transition, to the parts of us that don’t always have language. As I followed that thread, I found myself drawn to ceremonial and shamanic practices that honor the unseen and help give shape to profound inner change.

The Threshold Process grew out of this journey.

It’s the integration of everything I’ve come to trust: that real transformation happens when we engage the mind, the body, and the deeper parts of ourselves—within a space that is intentional, grounded, and safe.

Hi, I’m Delilah, and I’m glad you’re here.

Starting therapy can feel vulnerable, overwhelming, or even a little awkward—and thats okay. I believe therapy works best when it feels human, collaborative, and grounded in real life. My goal is to create a space where you feel understood, supported, and empowered to make meaningful change at your own pace.

I have experience working with individuals and families through complex challenges, including homelessness, substance use, severe and chronic mental health conditions, medical conditions, life transitions, and navigating real-world problems. This work has shaped my approach to be practical, compassionate, and focused on meeting people where they are.

Additionally, I have completed extensive continuing education and specialized training to support diverse client needs. I am a certified RUBI-trained parent coach, helping caregivers build effective, connected strategies at home for children experiencing neurodivergence and behaviorally defiant behaviors through evidence-based parent support and skill development.

Also, I am an NATC-certified clinician specializing in the recovery and treatment of narcissistic abuse, supporting clients in rebuilding identity, strengthening boundaries, restoring self-trust, and creating healthier relationships.

Whether you are navigating healing, growth, parenting challenges, recovery, or simply looking to reconnect with yourself, therapy can be a place to begin.

After years as a woodsman, fisherman, emergency room nurse, and paramedic, I finally went to medical school, later than most, and already filled with life experiences. I live with my wife of forty years and have a wonderful collection of children and grandchildren. I love animals and all of the natural world.

Hi, I’m Melanie, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and the owner of Rise Again Counseling. I provide virtual therapy to teens and adults across Maine, supporting people through anxiety, depression, trauma, life changes, and ongoing stress. My background includes working in outpatient mental health, and I’ve built my practice to be a place where people feel comfortable, understood, and supported as they work through what’s weighing on them.

Mental health struggles impact everyone. It is up to us to take action to seek out those professionally trained to help us navigate our challenges. This assists us in achieving our goals of better coping, higher functioning, and creating stronger connections that result in happier, more resilient and better versions of ourselves. I have experience working with clients from every socioeconomic background and most diagnoses including those who struggle with the lasting effects of ongoing or past substance use and trauma. I have a greater understanding of the impacts declining mental health can have on every aspect of our lives.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) with over 20 years of experience helping individuals restore balance, build resilience, and reconnect with purpose.

As a bilingual (English/Spanish) and bicultural therapist, I provide a space where every client feels seen, understood, and empowered to create meaningful change.

Kokoro—a Japanese word meaning “mind, heart, and spirit”—reflects my belief that healing begins when the whole self is engaged with authenticity and intention.
