About

Because it is important to you…

…We provide sensitive, friendly, warm, respectful, and positive counseling interventions to individuals, families, and groups. We treat both children and adults.

Payments…

…are made through insurance payers (all major payers, including Medicare and MaineCare). Cash discounts for self-pay. Payment is accepted in all forms. The cost is very competitive and is finalized at the time of the first visit.

Where we meet…

…in spacious counseling rooms with soundproofed walls. Private and confidential; counseling time is not intruded with distractions. We provide cold and hot beverages and snacks to attend to comfort. Facilities are approved by the Americans With Disabilities Act.

Locations…

…are easy to find with plenty of off-street parking. Bus route for convenience (Bangor area). All are climate controlled and pleasantly furnished for your comfort.

Making an appointment…

…we strive for immediate intake appointments upon your inquiry. An appointment can be made with the first call. We offer 24/7 telephone answering and rapid turnaround time for messages. Our practice does not need nor require a referral from a physician.

Program Notes and Disclosures

The appointment…

…is considered your time to manage the challenges that are before you. You may bring another person with you if you choose to. We have male and female counselors. Providers are qualified by the State of Maine in their respective practice areas.

My employer, family, and others…

…will never learn about your appointment or its contents unless you give written permission on a HIPAA compliant Release of Information form. There are a few exceptions that mostly involve safety or emergency matters. All exceptions to confidentiality will be given to you at intake both in writing and in oral delivery.
