A Co-Working Space Designed for Therapists

Therapy for the People (TFTP) members enjoy the ease of starting (or growing) their private practice with significantly reduced overhead and startup costs, and the option to increase their membership plan as their business grows. We offer competitive membership rates, a range of business services and amenities, and meaningful participation in a kindred clinical community. TFTP is not an agency or group practice, so members maintain full autonomy of their private practices. We have developed a positive reputation for being a source of affirming and skilled therapists, and frequently receive requests from people throughout Maine looking for a provider—we pass these referrals along to our co-working members, and can help to fill your caseload, eliminating the need to pay for professional directory services.

“I joined TFTP shortly after moving to Maine and it has been an invaluable asset in helping me start a practice in a new location. I am grateful to have an intentional group of colleagues who share my values. Co-working alleviates the isolation that can come with private practice. The office space is welcoming, comfortable, professional and in a wonderful location.”

— Kaitlin Alberto, LMFT, SEP; TFTP Member since 2020
