Why Little City?
Schools in the Bangor area have choices — including large, out-of-state staffing agencies now marketing to Maine districts. We think the choice comes down to one question: do you want a vendor, or a partner who's part of your community?
Local Practice vs. Large Staffing Agency
Where we live
Right here in the Bangor area. Our therapists are your neighbors — we serve only the local area.
Headquartered out of state, with providers spread across a dozen or more states.
How therapy is delivered
Every session is in person — in your school, in our local office, or wherever works best for you.
Often teletherapy: a remote practitioner on a screen, with an on-site aide handling logistics.
Who your students see
The same licensed SLP all year — a familiar face in your hallways who knows every student by name.
Whichever provider the staffing pool has available, sometimes hundreds of miles away.
Size & focus
A team of three SLPs doing one thing well: speech, language, and literacy for local schools.
Hundreds of employees across many disciplines and tens of thousands of students.
Who you talk to
The owner. Lindsay personally leads every school partnership, from contract to IEP meeting.
Account managers, coordinators, and scheduling systems.
Billing
For schools: one simple contract — parents never pay, and we bill MaineCare on your school’s behalf so your district is reimbursed directly. For individual therapy: no insurance paperwork — just CDS, MaineCare, or private pay.
Varies by contract and provider.

Our Promise: Every Session In Person
Some providers are betting on teletherapy — a remote clinician on a screen, supported by an on-site coordinator. We've made a different choice, because we believe the children who need these services most deserve more than a video call.
- Articulation work depends on hands-on cues — seeing, hearing, and shaping speech sounds up close
- Young learners and students with attention or sensory needs engage far better face-to-face
- Therapy sticks when the therapist is in the classroom, hallway, and IEP meeting — not just on a screen
- No headsets, logins, or tech troubleshooting between a struggling reader and their lesson
Small on purpose
We're not trying to serve nineteen states. We're trying to be the best speech-language partner the Bangor area has ever had — with caseloads small enough that every student, teacher, and family gets our full attention.
SLPs: Before You Sign with a Big Agency…
Large agencies recruit hard, and signing incentives can look tempting. Here's what we offer instead: competitive pay, flexible scheduling, CEU and license reimbursement, medical insurance and PTO for full-time clinicians — and the things money can't buy at a big agency: a caseload you can actually love, two colleagues who know your name, CF mentorship, and office support that handles the paperwork so you can do therapy.
If you want to build a career in the Bangor area — not be a line in a staffing database — we'd love to talk.
