We offer counseling in the greater Biddeford and Portland area. People come to "therapy" or "counseling" for a variety of reasons. Sometimes it is to help adjust to change or to make changes. Others seek counseling to get through a difficult period in one's life, to gain insight or skills. Throughout the therapeutic process, you will work collaboratively with your provider to learn new ways to achieve your goals.
These services provide comprehensive support to individuals who have a behavioral health condition that impacts their ability to achieve their highest potential without additional support. A case manager or care coordinator will work with clients to assess their needs, set goals and collaboratively create a plan to access the services or resources to create a healthy life that promotes overall wellness and stability.
