About Kirah doerr (She/Her)

Kirah Doerr - Professional Counselor Associate Supervised by Tever Nickerson (LPC)

Every individual has unique needs. Helping individuals find what works best for them is important to me.

I’m dedicated to fostering a person-centered, nurturing environment where you feel truly heard and valued. I’m passionate about helping others recognize their strengths and experience growth. I firmly believe in the healing power of understanding and connection.

You deserve to feel empowered, and I’m here to help you see how truly amazing you are.

My Background

As someone who has experienced challenging life transitions and wished for mental health support during those times, I find connection and understanding to be essential for healing and growth. My ability to see and reflect diverse perspectives helps me support individuals through challenging times. As a therapist, I am honored to sit with, support, advocate for, and strategically challenge clients in their growth journey.

What To Expect When We’re Working Together

When we work together, you will be supported in a personalized approach that understands your unique needs. Our sessions will allow you to explore experiences and reconnect with your emotions. We’ll explore your thoughts and feelings, the deep beliefs that shape your self-view, and build coping skills you can use to live a more fulfilling life.

My treatment approach aligns best with clients who seek support for:

  • Anxiety related to career challenges, relationship complexities, and body image.

  • Understanding and implementing boundaries.

  • Reframing negative and unwanted thinking patterns.

  • Uncovering and understanding emotions.

  • Finding a sense of acceptance in areas of life you have no control over.

  • Building motivation to take that next step in your life.

  • Processing current or past events in a safe space.

My approach integrates Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), emphasizing the importance of self-compassion and self-awareness.

It’s time to recognize your strengths, embrace growth, and confidently navigate your journey. If you’re seeking a therapist who understands the complexities of life transitions, body image struggles, and the importance of finding joy in life’s small moments, I invite you to reach out.

Frequently Asked Questions About Our Practice

Sessions are conducted primarily online via telehealth. If you are interested in meeting with a provider in-person, please contact our office at (207) 316-2609 to discuss availability for in-person sessions.

    • I accept Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield (Anthem, Premera, Regence, etc.), Cigna, and Providence. However, I may not accept your specific insurance plan. It is your responsibility to verify that our organization is in-network with your plan and that services are covered.

    • If at any time we discover that we are not in-network with your insurance plan, you will be responsible for the full costs of all sessions (past and future).

    • Please note, I do not accept Medicaid, Medicare, or work with EAPs.

    • Services are available to self-pay clients and those with out-of-network benefits.

    • Please call our office at (207) 316-2609 or complete our contact form if you have any questions.

  • For individuals using insurance to cover appointments, the cost of appointments is determined by each insurance’s contracted rates with our organization. Thus, the cost of appointments may be notably different than the cost of appointments for individuals who are self-pay. Furthermore, the cost of appointments may vary from session to session depending on several factors to include the length of the appointment and the complexity of the appointment. If you plan to use insurance, our office can provide a better estimate of costs once you provide your insurance information. Please contact us at (207) 316-2609 if you require further assistance.

  • For individuals who are self-pay:

    • Rates vary depending on type of service (therapy vs. medication management) and length of session. Please contact our office for additional information.

Payments are completed through our patient portal. Payments can be made using major credit/debit cards (American Express, Visa, Mastercard, etc.) as well as FSAs and HSAs.

Our policy is to collect payments before rendering services. However, we cannot always predict the cost of sessions in advance because services and length of sessions may vary from appointment to appointment. For clients using insurance, you will likely be responsible for either a co-pay or for paying the full costs of sessions until your deductible is met. Please ensure you fully understand your insurance benefits to prevent future billing concerns.

Regardless of your insurance status and payment method, we will always be as up-front with you as possible about the cost of treatment. 

  • The online scheduler above shows my availability over the next 20 days. If no appointments are available, please check back in a few days.
  • For appointments beyond this 20-day window, you can return closer to your preferred appointment date. Alternatively, you can view availability for our other therapists here.

Clients must cancel or reschedule appointments at least 48 hours before their appointment. If appointments are not canceled or rescheduled with at least 48 hours’ notice, or if clients do not show to their appointment, they will be charged a late cancellation fee of $150. To ensure we treat all clients consistently and ethically and to be respectful of our providers’ time, we must enforce our late cancellation and no-show policy. Fees incurred for late cancellations and no shows are out-of-pockets expenses. They cannot be billed to insurance.
