Children can find it difficult to communicate how they feel, and that can also be difficult for the adults in their life. Understanding a child’s thoughts, feelings, motivations and fears is essential to the child’s development, but is often a challenge. If you find that you and your family are struggling with any of the following, get in touch and we will find the right therapist for you.
Behavioral Issues
Grief/Loss
Academic Struggles
Developmental Milestones
Substance Use/Addiction
Gender/Sexual Identity
Trauma

What to expect from therapy
Beginning something new can be hard. At The Family Center of Maine, we value your courage in taking steps towards mental wellness. Therapy at the Family Center of Maine is guided by the goals and desires YOU have identified. We will meet weekly (or more if needed) to help you achieve your goals. If you request to have other important people in your life join in your treatment, we will welcome them in order to work toward improving your relationships and strengthening your support system.
If you are seeking treatment for your child we request the primary caregivers also participate in therapy biweekly or more often as needed. It is our philosophy that children need to see the family system collectively working to improve the family relationships and environment.
If you are interested in our services, please schedule a phone consultation by calling (207) 222-0309 . During this initial consultation, you will be asked to complete a screening questionnaire to help determine if one of our clinicians is suited to meet your unique needs.
