How Our Team Supports Families Through Every Stage of Care

At The Family Center of Maine, mental health care is more than a one-time visit—it’s a relationship. Whether you’re seeking therapy for your child, yourself, or your family, our team walks with you through every step of the journey. From your first inquiry to ongoing sessions, we offer consistent, compassionate support tailored to your needs.

A Team That Listens First

Every person’s experience is different. That’s why our process starts with understanding your unique story, goals, and challenges. Whether you’re reaching out for individual therapy, family support, or help with your child’s emotional regulation, we take the time to listen and recommend the best path forward.

Our collaborative team includes:

Licensed Clinical Social Workers (LCSWs)
Licensed Clinical Professional Counselors (LCPCs)
Therapists trained in play therapy, CBT, EMDR, ARC, and other evidence-based modalities

We match clients with a provider whose training and personality align with the concerns being addressed—whether anxiety, trauma, depression, ADHD, or life transitions.

Therapy That Grows With You

Life evolves—and so does therapy. Our services are designed to adapt to your changing needs across time, stages of development, or family transitions. That means:

Children receive age-appropriate, play-based therapy to express feelings and build emotional skills
Teens and adults work one-on-one with clinicians using CBT, ACT, or trauma-informed modalities
Families come together in sessions that improve communication and relational support

As goals shift, we adjust the care plan together—ensuring therapy stays relevant, practical, and meaningful.

Support That Honors the Whole Person

Mental health isn’t isolated from daily life—it’s shaped by relationships, environments, and systems. Our approach is rooted in understanding the full context of your experiences.

We help clients:

Strengthen emotional resilience
Improve self-awareness and communication
Develop sustainable strategies for stress, grief, and life changes
Build stronger relationships within family systems

Therapy sessions may include creative interventions, structured skill-building, or simply holding space to process what you’re facing.

Connected Care Across Our Locations

With multiple offices across Southern Maine—Scarborough, Gorham, Falmouth, South Portland, and more—clients can access support in a setting that’s convenient and comfortable. All therapy sessions are offered in-office. Appointments may be scheduled outside standard business hours depending on provider availability.

Start Where You Are—We’ll Meet You There

You don’t have to have it all figured out before reaching out. Whether you’re at the beginning of your mental health journey or navigating ongoing challenges, The Family Center of Maine is here to support you with empathy, expertise, and consistency.
