The short answer
Yes. ValorWell has a great need for licensed therapists in Maine to treat Veterans, Veteran spouses, and children of Veterans by telehealth. You need an independent license in Maine, such as LCPC, LMFT, LCSW, or psychologist, and your clients must be located in Maine during sessions.
Is ValorWell hiring therapists in Maine?
Yes. ValorWell has a great need for more licensed therapists in Maine. Veterans, Veteran spouses, and children of Veterans there are looking for therapists who accept CHAMPVA and VA Community Care, and there aren't enough.
VA estimates about 102,362 Veterans live in Maine, according to VA's fiscal year 2025 Annual Benefits Report.
Which licenses can treat Veterans and families in Maine?
The independent counselor license in Maine is the LCPC (Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor), issued by the Maine Board of Counseling Professionals Licensure. Licensed marriage and family therapists, independently licensed clinical social workers, and licensed psychologists in Maine also qualify, under the titles Maine uses.
For telehealth, the license has to match where the client is sitting during the session. To see a client located in Maine, you need a Maine license or a valid compact privilege. See Can Therapists See Telehealth Clients in Another State?
Can you practice in Maine through a compact?
- Counseling Compact: Maine has enacted the compact but wasn't yet listed as issuing privileges as of October 2026. Until it does, counselors need a Maine license.
- PSYPACT: Maine participates, so psychologists with PSYPACT authority can practice telepsychology with clients located there.
- Social Work Licensure Compact: Maine has enacted it, but the compact isn't issuing multistate licenses yet.
Compact status changes often. See Counseling Compact, PSYPACT, and the Social Work Compact and the Counseling Compact map.
What VA care is available in Maine?
