Pete FranzeN, lcpc, NCC

Clinical Professional Counselor
National Certified Counselor

I provide therapy to individuals and couples that is affirming of gender and sexuality diversity, and I am proud to serve in this role as a queer, transgender man. I work with clients to support improved emotional well-being on a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship issues, gender identity, grief & loss, fears, and loneliness.

 

My approach is focused on what your experiences feel like and mean to you. I believe that therapy is best facilitated by forming a trusting relationship within a safe environment where you are able to explore and connect with your most deeply sensed emotions and use them for healing and growth. I see my role as a facilitator who can support you in making use of deeper levels of awareness and understanding within yourself.

Out of Network (OON) Coverage

Some insurance benefits include OON (out-of-network) coverage for mental health services.  This allows you to get reimbursed for some or all of the fees you pay to an out-of-network provider.  I can provide a receipt for you to submit for reimbursement.  Fees will generally be applied to your annual deductible.  Please contact your insurance company to determine the specific benefits of your policy. 

Free Services in the Community:

The Intentional Warm Line offers telephone support during challenging times and non-crisis situations. Callers will receive support, social connection, assistance with referrals to community resources, recovery programs and an opportunity to connect with others during a time of fear, grief or sadness.

 

If you are transgender or gender-questioning and want to talk to someone who you feel confident will be empathic to this experience, please consider reaching out to Trans Lifeline, a peer support service run by trans people, for trans people. Or locally, please consider reaching out to Maine Transgender Network.
