A connection that matters.

Dr. Denise Vagt

Hello! I'm Dr. Denise Vagt, a licensed clinical psychologist and the owner of Maine Psychological Services.

My passion lies in helping individuals navigate anxiety, trauma, OCD, and stress-related challenges, as well as providing comprehensive psychological evaluations for neurodiversity, personality, and mood disorders. I am deeply committed to offering evidence-based, compassionate care that helps you gain clarity and create meaningful change in your life.

My clinical path began at the Florida Institute of Technology, where I earned my Doctorate in Psychology. From there, I had the privilege of serving as an Active Duty Air Force Psychologist, an experience that deeply shaped my approach to resilience, care, and human connection. Over the years, I've worked with individuals across a variety of settings, including inpatient and outpatient mental health care for teens and young adults.

Today, in addition to working directly with clients through evaluations and care, I provide post-degree clinical supervision to emerging mental health professionals. Whether you are seeking a detailed evaluation or dedicated therapeutic support, I look forward to welcoming you to our practice and partnering with you on your path forward.

Dr. Danielle Shine

Hi! I earned my Doctorate in School Psychology from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. I offer therapy for children, adolescents, and adults. I work with clients navigating challenges related to anxiety, depression, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), autism spectrum disorder (ASD), interpersonal relationships, and coping and emotional regulation skills. Currently, I am a pre-licensed psychologist completing supervision for independent licensure.

I also provide comprehensive child, adolescent, and adult psychological evaluations to address concerns related to learning disorders, ASD, ADHD, and anxiety/mood disorders. In each evaluation, I offer clear, actionable insights to support academic, behavioral, social, and emotional development.

My therapeutic approach is integrative and tailored to each client's needs. I draw from evidence-based practices including cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance & commitment therapy, social skills training, and executive functioning coaching. My goal is to help clients build confidence, develop practical coping strategies, and improve overall well-being.
