It's amazing to meet you!
I’m Mariam Arabambi, PMHNP-BC, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 15 years of experience in healthcare. I’m passionate about helping individuals find balance, healing, and hope through compassionate, evidence-based care. My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered on your journey toward wellness.
I am a husband, a father of two adult children, and a corgi dad. I am not a true Mainer as I moved here about 4 years ago from Pennsylvania where I spent most of my life. But, I have adopted Maine as my own. I love the outdoors and spend as much time as I can in them.
As far as the more formal stuff, I spent a lot of time in school. My credentials include a Bachelor of Science in Biology from Ursinus College, a Masters of Education in Counseling from Rutgers University, an Executive Masters of Business Administration in Healthcare Administration from California Pacific University, a Masters and Doctorate in Clinical Psychology and a Juris Doctorate in Law all from Widener University.
I have 20+ years management experience in behavioral health, managed care, academia and private practice settings. I have run my private practice for more than 30 years, have been a program administrator, corporate compliance/privacy officer, clinical director, program chairperson, and director of quality management during my career. I have taught at more than 20 colleges and universities. I have advised, supervised, trained, and taught hundreds of graduate students and professional counselors. I have also presented at many state, regional and national conferences and provided numerous trainings to social service and criminal justice professionals.
If you've spent a long time handling everything on your own, the idea of opening up in therapy can feel uncomfortable — maybe even a little vulnerable. You might be stuck in your head, second-guessing yourself, or repeating patterns you can't quite break no matter how hard you try. You don't need to have it all figured out before you reach out. You just need a willingness to start, and I'll meet you right there.











Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Finding the right therapist in Maine starts with identifying what you need support with. Common reasons people seek therapy include anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, trauma, and life transitions. Maine has licensed providers trained in a range of approaches — from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to couples counseling and family therapy. Knowing what you want to address can help you narrow your search.
Practical factors matter, too. Consider whether you prefer in-person sessions at a location near you — such as Portland, Bangor, Augusta, or Lewiston — or whether virtual appointments fit your schedule better. Many therapists in Maine offer both options. Reading a provider's bio before booking can give you a sense of their style, specialties, and approach, so you can feel more confident about your choice.
Therapy in Maine can be expensive out of pocket, but using your in-network insurance benefits is one of the most reliable ways to reduce your costs. On Headway, you can enter your insurance information to see estimated session costs upfront, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find a provider who fits both your clinical needs and your budget.
