The Deaf Community in Maine


From the Maine Educational Center for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing on Mackworth Island to small Deaf communities scattered from Kittery to Caribou, Deaf Mainers know what it means to be far from services. Long winters and long drives shouldn't stand between you and mental health support in your language.


How Online ASL Therapy Works


Getting started is simple: reach out through our contact form or videophone, and our team matches you with a therapist licensed in Maine who fits your needs and preferences. Sessions happen over secure, HIPAA-compliant video — all you need is a computer, tablet, or videophone and an internet connection.


Insurance & Costs


Coverage shouldn't be a mystery. We work with most major commercial plans and Medicare, and offer single-case agreements (SCAs) when we're not already paneled with your plan. Our team confirms your benefits before your first appointment and explains everything plainly.


Why Deaf Clients in Maine Choose My Deaf Therapy


Every therapist who sees Maine clients is licensed in Maine — you can verify any license through the state's public lookup site, and we encourage you to. As the nation's largest ASL-fluent telehealth team, we offer real choice of therapist, short waits, and clinicians supported by ongoing supervision and training.
