What Makes Free-Range Therapy Unique

Compassionate, flexible, and personalized care for your mental health journey.

I’m Dave Norman, LCSW, MALS. I help clients focus what they want, explore what gets in their way, and lay the groundwork for moving forward. Together, we may explore the power of storytelling to shift how we understand ourselves, our world, and our possibilities. My approach draws heavily on my training in Motivational Interviewing and Narrative Therapy, two evidence-based modalities whose therapeutic benefit I witness daily.

My clients often seek relief from anxiety, depression, disordered eating, ADHD, substance misuse, grief, or struggles adapting to major life changes. The therapeutic space we create together becomes a safe—if not always comfortable—place to explore what’s worked before, what you’d like to change, and what that change can mean for you. Throughout our work, you are the expert on your life and your experiences. I’m here to learn from you, and support the growth that you choose to pursue.

At Free-Range Therapy, I believe healing should meet you where you are—wherever that may be on life’s journey, and wherever you are geographically in the state of Maine. I use telehealth to connect with clients across the state; you may use telehealth to connect from anywhere that’s safe, private, and inspires you. Sometimes breaking a pattern, means breaking safely out of your routine. Where will you join me from, when we meet?
