Our Providers

Ryan Noel, PsyD

(he/him)

I see clients in person and via telehealth Monday - Thursday. I can work with telehealth clients located in Maine or any other PSYPACT participating state.

I aim for clients to feel comfortable, safe, and empowered in our work together. I provide space for clients to reflect, connect, and also consider how oppressive structures may be contributing to their distress. In addition to attuned and skillful therapy, I am committed to attending to the socio-political context that shapes individuals' experiences and the role of power dynamics in mental health.

My approach to treatment is grounded in humanistic, psychodynamic, and solutions-focused therapy. I prioritize practical problem-solving and helping clients use their strengths to identify effective solutions to challenges. I believe that clients are experts on their own lives and have the inherent capacity to find solutions that work for them. My role as a therapist is to support and guide them in this process.

Cultural responsiveness is a crucial component of my work as a psychologist. I understand that culture shapes our experiences and beliefs, and I strive to honor and respect the cultural backgrounds of my clients. I work to create a collaborative, culturally sensitive space where clients can explore and navigate the intersection of their cultural identity and mental health concerns.

I have specialized experience working with college student populations and adults struggling with anxiety, depression, grief, adjustment, stress, and substance use disorders. I prioritize creating a safe and welcoming environment where clients can feel seen, heard, and validated in their identities. I am also committed to providing LGBTQ+ affirming and gender-affirming therapy, as I recognize the unique challenges that members of these communities face in seeking mental health care.

Overall, my approach to therapy is founded in empathy, collaboration, and an unwavering commitment to empowering my clients. I believe that every individual has the potential to thrive, and I am honored to support my clients in realizing their full potential.

Lauren Dattilo, PhD

(she/her)

I will see clients via telehealth Monday - Thursday (with limited Friday AM spots) beginning in January 2025 and in person on Mondays beginning in mid-February 2025. I can work with telehealth clients located in Maine or any other PSYPACT participating state.

My hope for therapy is to create an active, collaborative relationship where clients define their goals for treatment and we work together using our individual and shared knowledge and strengths to find the best path forward. I emphasize open communication, mental and emotional flexibility, identities as strengths, and an orientation towards understanding processes rather than finding static “solutions”.

I often focus on helping clients connect with their values, with the understanding that greater congruence between values and actions often leads to a greater sense of fulfillment, meaning, and quality of life, as well as more capacity to cope with difficult circumstances. My work is grounded in the reality that our contexts (many of which we have not chosen) have an immeasurable impact on our lives.

I integrate frameworks and strategies from multiple evidence-based approaches, including Community Psychology, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), with a strong emphasis on identity, context, systems, and structural forces.

I am trained in Inference Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (I-CBT) for OCD and Prolonged Exposure Therapy (PE) and Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) for PTSD.

I specialize in working with adults seeking therapy for OCD, trauma, ADHD, identity development, and anxiety. I particularly enjoy working with college students.
