Kristina Knabenshue LCPC

Welcome! I’m Kristina Knabenshue, a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor, Autism Spectrum Disorder Clinical Specialist (ASDCS), and ADHD-Certified Clinical Services Provider (ADHD-CCSP) based in Downeast Maine. I provide outpatient mental health therapy, ADHD coaching, the Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP), and clinical assessments for adults seeking support with anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, autism, and executive functioning challenges.

Mental health therapy should feel supportive, practical, and adaptable to your needs. My approach is neurodiversity-affirming, trauma-informed, and client-centered—meaning we work together to explore what truly helps you manage emotions, build resilience, and create meaningful change in your life.

I help adults struggling with:

  • Anxiety and Overthinking – Learning how to quiet constant worry and build emotional balance.
  • Depression and Motivation – Identifying thought patterns, habits, and strategies to improve mood and energy.
  • Trauma and Emotional Healing – Working through past experiences in a way that feels safe and manageable.
  • Executive Functioning and Daily Structure – Creating routines, improving focus, and reducing overwhelm.
  • Self-Advocacy and Boundaries – Strengthening communication skills and maintaining healthy relationships.

Therapy is not about “fixing” you—it’s about equipping you with tools, strategies, and insights that help you move forward with confidence.

In addition to therapy, I offer:

  • ADHD Coaching – A structured, action-oriented approach to help with time management, organization, procrastination, and motivation.
  • Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP) – A listening-based therapy designed to support nervous system regulation, sensory sensitivity, and emotional resilience.
  • ADHD & Autism Assessments – Comprehensive evaluations with detailed reports to help you understand your strengths, challenges, and next steps.

I offer telehealth and in-person therapy for adults in Maine, with plans to expand service locations through the Counseling Compact in the future. ADHD coaching and SSP delivery are available to clients nationwide.

If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or uncertain about your next steps, you don’t have to figure it out alone. Let’s work together to create a path that makes sense for you.
