For ME is therapy
designed for YOU.
For ME was founded on the belief that every young person deserves a safe, compassionate space to explore, learn, and navigate life's challenges — right here in Maine.
Care for Every Chapter
Therapeutic Services
All services are available both in-person at our South Portland office and via telehealth anywhere in Maine.
Children
Play-informed care for big feelings.
Growing up comes with big feelings and big questions. We give children a creative, judgment-free space to explore their emotions, build lifelong resilience, and discover their worth — using strength-based tools to navigate school, friendships, and family life.
Teens
A confidential space to be yourself.
The teen years bring a lot of change. We give teens a space to be their authentic selves as they navigate friendships, anxiety, and the everyday pressures of the world — and to build coping skills, confidence, and a deeper understanding of themselves along the way.
Young Adults
Guidance through life's transitions.
Early adulthood is full of transitions — college, careers, relationships, and independence. We help young adults find direction, manage stress, and build a life they love — using strength-based tools that turn uncertainty into confidence, and small steps into real momentum.
Families
Whole-family sessions that reconnect.
Every family has its own rhythm and hurdles. We work with the whole family unit to nurture growth, mutual understanding, and connection — using preventative, strength-based tools that help guardians and young people support one another and cultivate positive habits at home.
