Cost guidance

In Sanford, Child & Adolescent Therapy typically costs around $185 per session. Costs can vary based on the therapist's experience, the type of therapy you need, and whether you choose in-person or online sessions.

How to choose a therapist in Sanford

Verify the therapist's license status and credentials with the Maine licensing board before your first session.

Ask about their experience with your specific concern—whether trauma, couples issues, child behavior, or another focus.

Confirm whether they accept your insurance or offer sliding scale fees if cost is a concern.

Inquire about their approach and theoretical orientation to ensure it aligns with your preferences and goals.

Check their availability for appointment times that work with your schedule, including telehealth options if needed.

Ask about their cancellation policy and what to expect during an initial consultation or intake session.

Quality signals to look for

Look for therapists who provide clear information about their licensing, training, and areas of specialization. A reputable therapist will offer a detailed intake process, explain their approach in plain language, and discuss fees upfront. Be cautious of providers who pressure you to commit to long-term treatment immediately, avoid discussing their qualifications, or operate exclusively through messaging without phone or video contact options. Written treatment plans and regular progress check-ins are signs of professional practice.
