We founded Groups Recover Together to make treatment for opioid addiction respectful, accessible, and affordable. Our members regain control of their lives through a proven, evidence-based model of medications for addiction treatment (MAT) with buprenorphine/naloxone (Suboxone) and weekly meetings led by a licensed counselor. We don't have a wait list, and our outpatient model fits into your schedule so you can keep working and living your life. Groups gets you the Suboxone you need to stop feeling sick, and a community that fights for you to succeed. Insurance and Medicaid accepted. We also offer a discounted self-pay rate.

Maine Mental Health Partners (MMHP) was founded in November 2008 by the board and leadership staff of Spring Harbor Hospital. The organization's founding mission was to create a more navigable, consumer-friendly, and better coordinated high-quality network of treatment services for individuals who experience symptoms of mental illness and substance abuse. MMHP serves the MaineHealth region which is comprised of the southernmost 11 counties of Maine. MMHP was designed to ease access to care for clients and reduce the cost of care delivery by sharing resources among providers. Since 2008, the MMHP Network has grown to include the following members: Spring Harbor Hospital in Westbrook, Spring Harbor Community Services of Greater Portland, Community Counseling Center in Portland, Counseling Services, Inc., in Saco, and Mid-Coast Mental Health Center in Rockland. The network includes Maine's largest network of primary care offices offering onsite mental health treatment or telepsychiatry.

Though it is the smallest of seeds, yet when it grows it is the largest of garden plants and becomes a tree, so that the birds come and perch in its branches.? (Matthew 13:32) As a counselor my goal is to help you find happiness and lead a life that is worth celebrating. While we can't change difficult situations of the past, we can work together to better understand and resolve challenges in your life. Therapy can unearth long standing behavior patters or negative perceptions that may be holding you back from experiencing a more fulfilling life. Therapy also can teach proven techniques and skills to replace less effective and even harmful ones. Finally, with my background in spirituality, therapy can help you use and discover the deep resources of your faith ? no matter where you may be on that faith journey or orientation. If you're looking for extra support and guidance through a challenging situation or you're just ready to move in a new direction in your life, I look forward to working with you to achieve your goals. I offer an initial consult free of charge.
