Headwaters Wellness welcomes Judy Peters’s social work practice to the center. Please check out her bio for more information about her services!
About me:
I have been a practicing social worker in Southern Maine and New Hampshire for seventeen years with broad experience in both medical and educational settings. I have both undergraduate and graduate degrees in social work and am a recipient of an Advanced Certificate in Clinical Practice with Children, Youth and Families at Boston College. Currently, I am completing a doctoral degree at Simmons University with a research focus on understanding increases in anxiety among elementary aged children since COVID-19. I have most recently been employed as a licensed clinical social worker serving school districts throughout Southern Maine specializing in supporting K-12 children and families in both general and special education settings including through the COVID-19 pandemic. I have been honored to mentor multiple graduate student interns and currently provide clinical supervision for a team of K-12 school-based social workers. I have extensive experience building treatment plans that address goals to support children for a broad array of social emotional needs including those related to: autism, anxiety disorders, depression, ADHD, other neuro developmental disorders and additional social, structural, and health challenges.
About my practice:
I am passionate about working with elementary aged children and their families. I am starting a part-time practice that focuses on supporting children aged 5-11. I take an in-person, multi-modal, parent centered, strengths and skill-based approach using evidenced-based practices and time-tested techniques to address areas such as: emotional processing and regulation, calming strategies, positive thinking, self-esteem and social skills. If you feel I may be a good fit for your child and family’s needs, please give me a call for a free 15-minute consultation.
Insurance and fees:
I am currently not in-network with any insurance providers. My fee is $130 per 50-minute session. I will provide a detailed statement for insurance reimbursement purposes. 207-502-3405
