www.psychologytoday.com has a great option for finding therapists in your area that take your insurance and are accepting new patients.

My doctor recommended this website to me actually. I called tons of people on that list and none were taking new patients even if it said they were on the page. It's poorly updated

Ah damn, I found my therapist through it and so did my wife. Was hoping to give you the same luck.

Also how I found my therapist. Ended up settling and meeting online and I don’t regret it.

+1 for being willing to at least try online. It may not end up being your cup of tea but it's definitely something to try, especially when there are some potential service shortages.

This, but don't be surprised if the listings aren't fully up-to-date. I had two or three who said they were accepting patients but then weren't when I reached out. But keep trying and you should find one, OP.

Yeah, you can sort by insurance, online/in person; it's great. It's much easier to find a therapist that suits you (you can also sort by being LGBTQ allied, etc) than an effing dentist that takes MaineCare.
