Foundation House, an extended care mental health and addiction treatment program for young men in Portland, Maine, is excited to announce that Danielle Cimino, LCPC-C is be joining our clinical team as a primary therapist. Foundation House is dedicated to delivering empathetic, empowering care to clients who struggle with mental health, trauma, and addiction. Danielle’s experience uniquely aligns with our diverse, leading-edge approach, having provided care to the whole individual in physical medicine, as well as clinically specializing in Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness and Acceptance, and Commitment Therapy (ACT).

Danielle received her bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Wheaton College in Massachusetts. A native to Maine, she returned to complete her Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of Southern Maine. During that time, she worked with young men suffering from co-occurring mental health and addiction disorders, which fostered a passion for understanding, overcoming and replacing the beliefs and behaviors that confront this community. She is a conditionally Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor in the state of Maine and has made an immediate impact in elevating our experiential, community-focused program.

On joining the Foundation House team, Danielle says, “the diverse clinical team here complements each other in such a tremendous way. Their backgrounds vary from in-patient substance abuse and private practice therapy to managerial counseling roles and personal experience. The wealth of knowledge and experience on this staff is remarkable.” On what sets Foundation House apart, she believes, “the fundamental aspect for me is the diverse activities, therapies and holistic offerings. Having the serene urban campus here in Portland, the Foxhole Ranch in Bethel and the beaches and mountains of Maine in our backyard makes Foundation House an oasis for young men seeking recovery.”
