Dr Valerie A. Hart
Psychiatric Nurse, EdD, PMHCNS, BC
Verified
I have maintained a continuous psychotherapy practice since 1979. In addition to clinical practice I taught in the graduate program for Psychiatric Nurse Practitioners at the University of Southern Maine - retired as Professor Emeritus in 2017. My background is in psychodynamic therapy which acknowledges the importance that family of origin plays in our life as well as the role of the unconscious in determining our decisions. I accompany my clients on a journey of self-discovery and self-awareness which leads to symptom reduction and a more fulfilling life. My practice consists of individual, couples and family therapy- I do not prescribe in my practice.

To contact me use email or US MaiI and tell me what you are looking for. I cannot respond to phone requests for new service. I see people short term up to a few months. If things improve in a few weeks as they sometimes do, I work with the patient's primary care so they can take over medication prescribing when things are better or if it looks like long term psychiatric care is needed, I help the patient find a long term provider. Aside from consultation and prescribing psych meds, I do behavior therapy for OCD and phobias. I'm familiar with resources in Portland if referral is needed. I welcome questions from other providers.
Claudine Grange
Psychiatric Nurse, BA, MSN, PMHNP
Verified
I treat psychiatric illness by getting to know a person by listening to their story. Individuals are a harmony of thoughts and feelings; mind and body. Medications are sometimes necessary to help a person manage their day to day life but they are not sufficient. I prescribe medication if necessary and provide therapies that are suited to the individual patient. The focus is primarily on lifestyle therapy and daily practice. Lifestyle medicine includes diet, exercise, meditation, and stress reduction along with cognitive therapy. With the right support, education and practice a person can joyfully engage in their daily life.
