Mind Body Therapy Maine, LLC
Drea Michaud, LCSW   

Compassionate, experiential psychotherapy in the heart of Portland, Maine

 I offer compassionate, experiential, embodied psychotherapy for adults, specializing in Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy for depression, anxiety and trauma. Honoring the dynamic mind-body relationship,I incorporate awareness-building practices and somatic inquires to facilitate emotional, behavioral and cognitive expression, healing and growth. In my experience, bringing our full attention to our inner experiences with warm curiosity awakens a natural spring of self-compassion and an innate capacity for deep healing.

In addition to IFS, my approach is informed by Western Buddhist psychology and mindfulness practice, Gestalt therapy and Polyvagal theory. I have also dedicated more than a year of study to Marshall Rosenburg’s model of non-violent communication, which teaches us to warmly resonate with emotions as important guides that connect us to our beautiful human needs, such as belonging, connection and purpose.

Having worked clinically with children and families for 14 years early in my career, I bring a spirit of creativity & playfulness to sessions, creating a safe, hopeful and healing container for therapeutic work.
