Getting to know Stuart Kay

Bill Kay, LCSW, helps adults across Maine navigate challenges with care, clarity, and evidencebased support. He works with individuals facing depression, anxiety, trauma, and bipolar disorder, creating a safe and collaborative space where healing and growth are possible. With a focus on individualized therapy, Bill draws on approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ACT, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy CBT, Dialectical Behavior Therapy DBT, and mindfulness to help clients develop skills, reduce distress, and move toward meaningful life changes. Bill is particularly passionate about supporting individuals who have recently been discharged from psychiatric hospitalization or are navigating the stress of current legal matters. These moments of transition can be overwhelming, and Bill provides both structure and compassion, guiding clients as they stabilize, adjust, and regain confidence in their daily lives. His approach emphasizes resilience, accountability, and helping people rediscover a sense of agency, even in the most difficult circumstances. In addition to these areas of focus, Bill has extensive experience supporting military veterans, first responders, and individuals living with PTSD or psychosis. His therapeutic style is strengthsbased and collaborative, ensuring each client feels respected, understood, and empowered throughout their journey. While his core expertise includes treating mood and traumarelated conditions, he also offers additional support for clients living with obsessivecompulsive disorder and schizophrenia. Outside of his work at LifeStance Health, Bill enjoys reading, walking, and camping. These personal passions reflect his belief in balance, connection, and the restorative power of natureâvalues that inform the way he approaches mental health and wellbeing.
