Our story

Steady care, led by empathy

Brightmere began with a simple belief: nobody should have to carry heavy feelings alone. Our founders — two clinical psychologists — opened a small Westbrook practice where sessions are unhurried, conversations are honest, and every treatment plan is built around the person in the room.

Today our team supports hundreds of clients a year, in person and online, with the same promise we started with: evidence-based care delivered with warmth.

  • Certified psychologists with 8+ years of clinical practice
  • In-person sessions in Westbrook and secure video sessions statewide
  • Treatment plans reviewed with you — never decided for you

What we stand for

Care you can feel from the very first session

Empathy first

We listen before we advise. Every session starts with your story, in your words, at your pace.

Evidence-based methods

Cognitive-behavioral, trauma-informed and family-systems approaches proven by clinical research.

Respect for every story

All backgrounds, identities and beliefs are welcome here. Judgment never enters the room.

Our team

Psychologists who listen deeply

A small, senior team — so you always see the same familiar face, session after session.
