Christina McGuire, LCSW

Christina McGuire is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Maine with 15 years of experience supporting young adults, individuals, and families through a range of life challenges. She earned a Master’s in Social Work from the University of Southern Maine and also studied Outdoor Education and Experiential Learning at the University of New Hampshire, combining formal clinical training with experiential methods to inform her therapeutic work.

In the past five years she obtained additional licensure to provide support for people struggling with substance use, and much of her professional learning has come from teaching and working both outdoors and in traditional settings such as schools, health centers, and people’s homes. In those environments she focuses on helping individuals learn from their lived experiences and apply those lessons to current challenges.

Christina understands that life presents a variety of experiences that shape wellbeing. Depending on relationships, available resources, personal health, and resilience, stressors can range from thought provoking to overwhelming and sometimes require considerable support to process and grow from. She views it as a privilege to accompany people through those transitions and to teach practical coping skills. Her therapeutic style is laid back, person centered, strengths based, relational, and goal oriented, with an aim of helping people improve the quality of their lives and their relationships through collaborative work.
