What We Offer
Therapeutic Services
All services are available both in-person at our South Portland and Brunswick offices and via telehealth anywhere in Maine.
Children / Teen
Growing up today comes with big feelings and unique challenges. We provide a creative and safe space where younger clients can explore their emotions without fear of judgment. Our focus is on building lifelong habits and resilience early on, using strength-based tools to help them discover their worth and navigate the "twists and turns" of school, friendships, and identity.
