Art of Awareness: Therapists in South Portland, Maine
At Art of Awareness, we believe that healing begins in a safe space. When you’re not safe, you naturally seek to protect yourself and cannot process emotions and events that make you feel vulnerable. Our approach transforms a simple space into a profound healing environment reminiscent of home rather than a clinical office. Our center is intentionally designed to both support and promote recovery and personal growth.
Therapy That Puts You First
Art of Awareness prioritizes a personalized therapeutic experience tailored to each client’s needs. We offer a comprehensive range of evidence-based modalities, including Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical-Behavior Therapy (DBT), Mindfulness-Based Therapy, and more, alongside creative and holistic approaches to therapy carefully chosen to match your specific challenges and goals. By integrating cutting-edge techniques and traditional practices, we create a treatment plan that is as unique as you are.
Our commitment is to provide the emotional relief that comes from sharing your experiences and to provide a pathway to a more resilient and fulfilled life in which you achieve your goals and reach your full potential.

Understanding Conditionally Licensed Therapists
In the state of Maine, a conditionally licensed therapist is a Master’s level professional who has completed extensive academic and practical training in social work or counseling. These therapists hold conditional licenses as they work towards full licensure, which involves gaining additional supervised clinical experience. They receive weekly supervision and guidance from an experienced and fully licensed therapist, ensuring that the care and support you receive meet the highest professional standards. This collaborative approach enhances their skills and ensures you benefit from comprehensive and effective therapeutic services.
