About Ann Soule
Ann Soule is a Maine-based licensed counselor with 19 years of experience in the mental health field. She balances a personal life as a married mother of two and a grandmother of two - one grandchild who has autism - with a professional career centered on supporting people through substance use and related mental health concerns.
Ann holds a Bachelor’s degree in Human Development and Family Relations and a Master of Education in Counselor Education (M.Ed). She is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LCPC), a Certified Clinical Supervisor (CCS), and a Nationally Certified Counselor (NCC) - credentials that reflect both clinical training and supervisory experience in counseling practice.
Professionally, Ann serves full time as Program Manager of an Opioid Treatment Center (OTP) where Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT - Methadone and Suboxone) is part of the recovery approach for opioid dependence. Much of her clinical focus across the past years has been on substance use disorders, especially opioid and alcohol addiction, and on addressing co-occurring mental health diagnoses. She recognizes that substance use is often a strategy to avoid painful experiences or trauma, and that those patterns commonly contribute to depression, anxiety, grief, relationship strain, and financial or vocational disruption.
Ann describes herself as an eclectic therapist who draws from a wide range of methods to meet each person where they are. Her toolkit includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Prolonged Exposure, Gestalt techniques, and Solution-Focused approaches, alongside creative options such as play and art methods and dream processing. Ann follows a harm reduction philosophy and emphasizes collaborative guidance - supporting people as a guide at the side and celebrating progress both large and small.
She continues to expand her expertise, having completed a 60-hour training on gambling addiction and planning future training toward certification as a financial therapist to explore the intersection of money and mental health. Ann is an LGBTQ+ ally and is open to working with individuals, families, and friends seeking support with issues such as addiction, trauma, grief, parenting, communication, self-esteem, and life transitions.
