Conant Associates LLC is a Christian Counseling organization comprised of Dick and Bev Conant. They started in the counseling profession in 1982 under the mentorship of Robert McGee, M.S. Robert was working on a book entitled "Search for Significance" at the time. Dick took over the leadership of the out-patient counseling offices in Houston. Dick and Bev witnessed God grow this ministry to 35+ therapists and 7 staff members over the next 15 years.
They moved to Kittery, Maine in 2011, and more recently moved their office to 12 Pleasant Avenue, in Sanford, Maine. See our directions page for help in getting to our office. Their counseling approach is Solution Oriented: We help you set goals, make changes, and grow rather than getting stuck in endless discussions about "the problem." We are confident in the power of God's word to bring about positive changes in your life and relationships.
Dick works with couples and adults. Bev works with children through play therapy, adolescents and adults.
