Meet Blanchette:
I am a therapist of faith who is deeply interested in the role of trauma and the nervous system in my client’s lives. I focus on finding meaning in your life by discovering how your brain injury or trauma has changed your life.
In therapy my clients have described me as warm, assertive, compassionate, and wise. My approach is to deeply understand you through listening and asking questions to find goals that we will co-create to get you the results you need.
I work best with highly motivated and invested professionals, students, and couples after a brain injury or trauma. They tend to be committed and willing to show up to work on these difficult places we go into together. I plan to MEET you there to be your coach, cheerleader, or gentle guide as needed in this space we make together.
To that end, I am a skilled practitioner in several evidenced based techniques that we will discuss in your treatment. I have four degrees in psychology including my doctoral degree from Regent University an APA accredited program in Christianity and Psychology. My postdoctoral residency in neuropsychology was completed at Goodwill Neurorehabilitation in Portland, Maine. I am licensed as a psychologist in the state of Maine.
