Our Treatment Approach At Wellspring Outpatient Services, counselors meet with clients individually in a confidential, client-focused setting that allows clients to look for solutions. Counseling sessions are guided by a mutually developed treatment plan with measurable and attainable goals and may be brief and focused on a specific problem, or may be more expansive, focusing on the root causes of a person's issues and concerns including past or current traumas, depression, anxiety, etc.
In addition to guiding their clients through the treatment and/or recovery process, counselors may also introduce clients to other services available in the community and advise them on the most effective treatment strategies. It is our goal to assist clients in cultivating their strengths and becoming happier, healthier, and more productive, using the least restrictive treatment approach possible to achieve lasting results.

Qualifying for assistance from Maine's program usually depends on the severity of your condition and financial circumstance. Read our full guide to Maine's program.
A community counseling agency is a group therapy practice that offers affordable mental health services. Most are independent non-profit agencies, state agencies, or publicly-funded agencies. A few may restrict who is eligible for services, so it is a good idea to check when you call.
Community counseling agencies are generally more affordable than other therapy providers, but how much more affordable they are will depend on whether you qualify for a discount or sliding scale fee (or if they accept your insurance). Many, but not all, have a policy that they won't turn away anyone due to inability to pay. You should ask about their fees when you first call.
Expect to talk to kind people who want to help you find the care you need. Most community agencies strive to connect you with a live person within 24 hours, if not immediately. If you're asked to hold or leave a message, don't give up; just leave a message and wait. You should hear back pretty quickly.
Most agencies try to set up an initial assessment appointment within a week (some do within 24 hours), though the waitlist to start therapy is usually longer—about a few weeks on average. If you're not eligible or if the agency is not right for you, it's usually still worth it to call or drop in, because staff are knowledgeable about local options and can often refer you to one.
