From 2015 to 2022 I held several positions in residential treatment including direct support provider, clinical case manager, and program clinician.

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.

I am a Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) specializing in child, adolescent, and adult psychiatry.

My clinical background includes experience in adult psychiatry and pediatric mental health, working with children, teens, and young adults navigating challenges such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, mood disorders, and school or social stressors. I use evidence-based medication management combined with psychoeducation, supportive guidance, and collaboration with therapists, schools, and families when helpful.

I’m drawn to this work because I genuinely enjoy connecting with young people and helping them grow into healthier, more confident versions of themselves.
