With 25 years of experience as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), I provide a warm, supportive space where people can talk openly about what they’re going through. My background includes psychiatric inpatient care and work with the Department of Defense and military populations, giving me extensive experience supporting individuals coping with trauma, stress, and major life challenges.

I'm Dr. Cheri Carter, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with a PhD in Family Studies.

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.

I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who shows up with warmth, curiosity, and zero judgment. Think of me as the therapist who feels human, someone who listens deeply, honors your story, and helps you make sense of patterns that no longer serve you. As a Caribbean-American woman, I also understand the unspoken cultural layers that often shape how we cope, communicate, and carry our experiences. My goal is to create a space where you feel seen, safe, and empowered to grow at your own pace.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, lost, or emotionally stuck? I want to hear your story and assist you in your journey towards healing. Currently I am providing therapy to children (4 years and older), adolescents, and adults.

Hi, I'm Annie! I am a licensed clinical social worker with over seven years of experience in helping people reconnect with themselves and find clarity about the things that are most troubling to them. Existence is hard, but I firmly believe that connection with one another is what enables us to heal, find belonging, and grow into the best versions of ourselves.

After work, she enjoys spending time with her partner, dog and cats, gardening, reading and enjoying Maine.

As a clinical social work therapist, my mission is to help individuals overcome the challenges of life stressors. I understand that these stressors can be overwhelming and debilitating, and I am dedicated to providing a safe and supportive space where my clients can explore their emotions and develop coping skills to improve their overall well-being.

I’m an LCSW, and my practice name, Life Shift Happens, comes from a truth I see every single day: people don’t come to therapy because they’re broken. They come because life stopped unfolding the way they expected, and they feel entirely stuck. A lot of the humans I work with are incredibly thoughtful and trying so hard. They usually don't lack insight; they’ve read the coping skills and talked things through with friends. Yet, they still find themselves procrastinating, shutting down, or feeling completely frozen by past stuff. When that happens, change isn’t a matter of forcing more willpower. It requires slowing down to look at the patterns and defense mechanisms we build to protect ourselves when life gets heavy.

My style is collaborative, deeply conversational, and entirely human. I’m not here to judge, lecture, or pretend I have all the answers. Instead, I’m active in our sessions through asking questions, noticing patterns, and gently pushing back when I see you getting in your own way. We will work on the practical things like boundaries, follow-through, and managing emotions, while sitting with the messy overthinking, panic, burnout, or feeling checked out underneath it all. Therapy with me is a relationship where we make sense of the sudden crises and quiet paralyses that come with life shifts. The goal isn’t a perfect, flawless life, but rather a therapeutic space where you can figure out what changed, sprinkle in compassion, and learn how to move forward in a way that feels genuinely your own.
