WellSpace@Work is a Maine-based licensed outpatient counseling practice with offices in Portland, Yarmouth, and online sessions via telehealth intended to provide you with confidential, readily accessible, and specialized counseling services. The practice has several clinicians who have extensive anti-racism and multicultural competency training and experience. They also have a number of clinicians with extensive training and specialization working with gender and sexual identity. The WellSpace@Work practice is also committed in their efforts to hire a more diverse workforce to meet the needs of all their clients.
The WellSpace@Work benefit covers the first eight therapy sessions at no cost each calendar year to all benefits-eligible faculty and staff and their immediate family members (legally married spouse/domestic partner, child or step-child).
You do not need to be enrolled in one of the College’s Cigna health plans to be eligible, but all the WellSpace@Work behavioral health clinicians at the practice are in-network with Cigna.
