Independent practice · Downeast Maine
Curless Psychology provides in-depth psychological evaluations and genuine therapy for children, adolescents, and adults across Downeast Maine — independent since 2001, unhurried by design, and covered by MaineCare and Medicare.
For more than twenty years, Dr. Michael Curless has helped Maine families understand what’s really going on — and decide what to do next. The testing here is thorough and unhurried, the feedback is plain-spoken, and the person in the room always matters more than the paperwork.
Curless Psychology · Ellsworth
What we do
Comprehensive evaluations that bring clarity to a diagnosis and open the door to the right support — for children, adolescents, and adults. Typically four to six hours across one or two sessions, with a feedback session to review everything, and written results in two to three weeks.
Dr. Curless is accepting individual therapy clients. Therapy begins with your story, then helps you name and work through what’s hard — stress, past trauma, questions of self-worth — at a pace that fits you. Fifty-minute sessions, in person or by telehealth.
Why families choose us
Dr. Curless’s calm, steady manner helps children and adults settle in and speak freely — often from the very first visit.
A broad clinical background means we work across a wide range of ages, questions, and stages of life — not just one.
MaineCare, Medicare, and credit cards — with both in-person and telehealth visits.
Our space
Our office on Birch Avenue is arranged to feel comfortable and unhurried for clients of every age.
