Blue Sky Counseling

Blue Sky Counseling Visit us at www.blueskycounseling.com for more information 🌻💙 At Blue Sky Counseling, we are committed to supporting people on their journey to recovery.

Utilizing comprehensive substance use services including medication assisted treatment (MAT), individualized care planning, supportive individual and group counseling and care coordination, we customize a plan to meet personal goals. We specialize in evidence-based treatment to help individuals overcome addiction and live productive lives. With an array of addiction programming and a holistic approach to care, we support with a combination of treatment options in locations including Waterville, Bangor, Lewiston, Skowhegan, Augusta, Rumford and Farmington. Reducing barriers and stigma and increasing accessibility is the goal of our compassionate team here at Blue Sky. Based on a person’s needs and understanding both the physical and emotional challenges of recovery, MAT is often the foundation of our treatment approach based on the individual's struggles and clinical assessment. Offering FDA-approved medications like Suboxone (a combination of buprenorphine and naloxone) to alleviate withdrawal symptoms, reduce cravings, and stabilize the body can significantly improve the ability to maintain recovery. By supporting physical recovery, MAT allows patients to focus on rebuilding their lives and addressing the deeper aspects of addiction. Suboxone also includes safeguards against misuse, promoting long-term success. We believe that lasting recovery requires more than medication. That’s why we pair MAT with personalized counseling services, tailored to meet the unique aspects of each person we serve. Through therapeutic intervention, we address the root causes of addiction, provide emotional support, and teach practical tools and skills to navigate challenges along the way. At Blue Sky Counseling, we provide a safe, non-judgmental space where people are treated with empathy, respect, and understanding. Our experienced team is here to help you take the first step and is dedicated to the process of coming together to transform lives. Regardless of the challenges you may face, our commitment is to ensure you receive the multifaceted support you need throughout the recovery journey to ensure your success.

Employee spotlight! ✨
Tina Durand, MHRTC is an Adult Case Manager based out of Blue Sky’s Skowhegan office, covering Kennebec and Somerset counties. Tina has been an integral part of the CM team while we have been building out programming and working to expand CM services across other locations.

Tina has her Associates degree in Applied Sciences, obtained her MHRTC along the way and has enrolled at UMA to obtain her Bachelor's degree in Social Work. As a Case Manager Tina loves engaging with the people she serves, community partners, and providers to support people with meeting their goals and gaining independence. Throughout Tina’s professional and personal life, she has been a support to many struggling with mental health and substance use, having experience in helping in both capacities has increased Tina’s drive to be the best support and advocate that she can be and overall better the communities she works and lives in.

In addition to her professional work Tina volunteers her time to a variety of community-based organizations and programs, she likes to be a part of anything that she can. From volunteering at the Unity Open Door Soup Kitchen to volunteering with WCAP for the Cinderella Project, from delivering meals on Thanksgiving and Christmas to delivering backpacks for back to school and the list goes on, Tina is always willing to lend a helping hand.

When Tina is not working or volunteering, she loves spending as much free time as she can with her grandchildren. Being an outdoor enthusiast, she loves to plant and tend to her garden, check out parks and places to hike and most recently exploring new places she has found in one of her new favorite books “Best Hidden Spots in Maine”. Tina believes that the good you put into the world you will receive back, always positive and optimistic Tina says “kindness matters” as you never know what someone may be dealing with.

Blue Sky is so happy to have Tina as a Case Manager helping our client’s navigate systems and conquering goals with her positive outlook and can-do attitude. Thank you for all you do Tina!
