Other than what has already been mentioned, another avenue I took was looking into providers across state lines. Because there is such a need in Maine and New England is so small, some licenses cover a few states. Lifestance Health, for example, is in Portland, but is primarily based out of NH. They do in person and telehealth.

I found my current therapist through Lifestance. Had a little hiccup before intake where they had the wrong number for me and we played phone tag, but they were quick to get me an appointment once I left a pretty frustrated voicemail (and overall they do seem to be responsive to patients even though, like most providers, they are incredibly busy). I got an appointment for in-person therapy within the week.

Similar experience for me as well, although I had a bit longer of a wait as I was looking for medication management (which I love my doc for).

So glad you found them too! ♥️
