Finding Mental Health Professionals in South Portland, Maine

Looking for a professional therapist in South Portland can be a daunting task. Not only do you need to find a mental health professional who’s qualified to help you, but you also need to make sure they have the availability to take you on as a client, and that’s aside from the most important criteria; that you have chemistry with them and can make a real connection.

Before you begin your search for a therapist, give some thought to the factors below that will help you make a more informed decision.

Therapist Specialties

If you just need the support of a professional to work through some minor issues, then you can choose a therapist without being particular about their areas of expertise. But if you need help with a specific mental health condition, such as depression, anxiety, PTSD, OCD, phobias, or eating disorders, or if you’re looking for relationship or family counseling, then you should ideally find a South Portland therapist specializing in these areas.

In addition to the conditions they treat, some therapists focus on working with specific age groups. If you’re looking for a therapist in South Portland for your young child or teenager, you should seek a professional who’s qualified to work with those age groups.

Treatment Modalities

Most therapists prefer specific treatment approaches with their patients over others. These can include cognitive behavioral therapy, psychodynamic psychotherapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, and exposure therapy, just to name a few.

Some patients research these treatment options online or consult with friends and decide for themselves which one they need. While you should ideally let the professional decide on the right modality for you, if you find that there are many suitable therapists in South Portland from which to choose, you can narrow down the list based on the treatment modalities you prefer.

Personal Characteristics of the Therapist

You may prefer to work with a therapist in South Portland who speaks a second language that you speak, shares your religious beliefs, or is of a certain gender, race, or ethnicity. Finding a therapist who shares your values or personal experiences may help you open up more quickly and have better chemistry with them.

Session Types

If you need that in-person, face-to-face therapy experience, then you’ll want a professional counselor in South Portland who sees clients in an office. But if you prefer the convenience of working with someone who offers teletherapy sessions via videoconferencing or phone, there are plenty of therapists who provide remote sessions.

If you are not satisfied with the selection of therapists in South Portland, you may want to consider teletherapy even if it’s not your first choice, as any licensed therapist in Maine may legally work with you.
