Auburn, Maine feels like a lively small city on the Androscoggin River with a walkable downtown of cafés, breweries and local shops, plus Lake Auburn and easy access to hiking, biking and nearby skiing — a comfortable, interesting base for multi‑week therapy assignments.
Neighboring Lewiston (right next door) brings a college-driven arts and dining scene, and Portland — about 40 miles away — offers big-city restaurants, an airport, beaches and ferries for weekend escapes.
