Therapists Beginning With B in New Hampshire

When people call me, it's usually because they've reached a point where whatever is happening is hard to manage alone. Most often, it is a difficult call to make. The circumstances couldn't be more personal and the idea of talking to a stranger, however professional, is a daunting bridge to cross. They make that call when their accustomed solutions no longer work or only make them feel worse. They want help to solve what otherwise seems unsolvable, to manage what seems unmanageable, to get support during a crisis or grappling with a loss. They want to figure out how to feel better.

I will be providing my clients with therapeutic services to help them identify the obstacles or challenges that get in the way of moving forward in life. Each day is a new day to work and change our mental health, poor coping skills, negative thinking, and/or negative self-talk to better ourselves. Maybe you’re just feeling stuck. Clients are empowered to set the goals they want to work on while tracking the progress of those goals.

I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker and I am passionate about supporting individuals of all ages to navigate all the peaks and valleys of being human. I work to create a supportive space where individuals can safely explore their thoughts and feelings while being listened to and understood.

Providing therapy using solution-focused therapy, strengths-based therapy and collaboration with the client.

It takes time, work, patience, self-love and acceptance to repave that path to your wellbeing.

Kelly Baldwin, LCMHC, your dedicated guide through life's challenges. With over a decade of experience, I specialize in empowering individuals, couples, and families to overcome obstacles and lead fulfilling lives. My ideal client seeks support for issues ranging from depression and anxiety to addiction and trauma. They crave understanding, guidance, and a safe space to explore their thoughts and feelings. Together, we work towards their goal of achieving balance, clarity, and personal growth. They want to reclaim their happiness and well-being because they deserve to live a life filled with purpose and joy.

My practice focuses on the treatment of depression, anxiety, chronic stress, and complex trauma. My approach weaves together western psychodynamic psychotherapy, CBT, and eastern mindfulness-based approaches rooted in trauma-informed, neurodiverse-friendly, intersectional, and anti-oppression frameworks.

My goal as a therapist is to provide a space that feels warm, supportive, and curious. I hold a firm belief that there's power in the therapeutic relationship and that providing a space that feels safe to explore difficult experiences/emotions is essential. It's always been my mission to provide a whole-person approach to the work I do as a therapist. Coming from a social work background, my style is person-centered, gentle, curious, and compassionate. Each person brings a different set of strengths to the challenges they face, and my work strives to identify these strengths with you to find a way forward.

Do you remember the confusion of your teen years and the worries about "growing up"? Stressful, right? Being a teenager and emerging adult can feel overwhelming at times. There is so much to navigate with school, family, friend groups, relationships, peer pressure, social media, identity, work, expectations, life goals...adulting! Sometimes all of this mental clutter can be paralyzing and keep your young person feeling stuck. If you are looking for some extra support, I can help.

Accepting NEW clients. EMAIL is the best way to reach me. Are you struggling with thoughts and behaviors that sabotage your goals, happiness and ability to feel fulfilled? When subconscious thoughts and patterns reveal themselves in therapy it creates an opportunity for healing and desired change. The client drives the work in psychotherapy and the therapist assists their clients in their exploration to heal from psychological injury and work toward desired goals. I have many years of experience working with young adults, adults and couples, treating Anxiety, Depression, Relationship Difficulties and Life Transitions.

I enjoy working with people who want to learn about themselves and their relationships and develop insight into their behavior. It isn't easy to ask for help. Sometimes, when we aren't able to solve things on our own, therapy can be a great resource. Clients tell me that I help them make the changes they want. I believe in providing you a safe and supportive place to explore your life. I have twenty-five years of experience and am committed to assisting you understand yourself and grow. People I've worked with have described me as warm and easy to talk to.

Do you feel unseen, under valued, not important? My goal is to provide you with a space that offers comfort, respect, safety, acknowledgment and acceptance. I believe the root to the problem is the source of the pain. I will meet you where you are and walk with you on this journey of healing and empowerment. We will work together to find the best treatment modality to overcome the areas you're currently struggling with; I do often utilize EMDR in my work and am EMDR Certified through EMDRIA. I will provide you a space in which you can explore your feelings freely without judgement and be seen for who you are.

Finding the right fit in a therapist is vital for success in therapy. I've been successful working with motivated individuals, couples and families who want to identify and work to resolve specific issues. I've helped couples reconnect with one another. I've helped individuals reduce their symptoms of anxiety, depression or addictive behaviors. I have experience helping to resolve trauma of various types. Transitions in life can be difficult and I am able to help with different stages in life like leaving home for the first time, empty nest, divorce, death of a spouse, changing jobs, retirement.

I consider it a privilege to be invited to walk alongside my clients and couples as they work through relational issues and navigate the stressors of life. Using an eclectic blend of therapeutic models, I work to create a treatment plan that helps clients work toward their goals in a way that deepens their sense of self and is in line with their personal values. This is my second career, and I believe my undergraduate degree in communications and previous roles working in TV News have also contributed to valuable life experience and communication skills that are helpful in guiding my work.

These are very stressful times for many, many people, and in the midst of this stress it is essential to take care of yourself, both physically and emotionally. Our relationships, work, physical and emotional health, and even our leisure activities all suffer when our stress levels become overwhelming. I will work to teach and support you in regaining health and balance, and ultimately support you in living life more fully.

Everyone deserves a safe space to express themselves. I’m here to walk alongside you as you navigate life changes, whether coping with anxiety, managing stress, addressing traumas, or handling significant transitions. Looking at ourselves can feel overwhelming and nearly impossible, but my goal is to support you in finding self-compassion. Embracing the versions of yourself that have helped you survive and navigate past experiences can bring a profound sense of freedom and ease, while naming and accepting the future parts of you that are cheering you on can be deeply uplifting.

*Please email all new patient inquiries.* Are you going through a time in your life when you emotions feel overwhelming? Are you lacking clarity about your true self? Do you tell yourself that you are doing the best you can, but wonder why you don't feel as good as you'd like to? Do you want to feel more like yourself, feel more connected to others and function better? Often times we have unmet emotional needs we are not even aware of, that pile up and negatively impact many areas of our lives: self-esteem, relationships, communication, academic/work performance, sports performance, parenting, etc.

Intelligent. Holistic. CBT and The Work are the foundation of my practice. Intelligent because they are evidence based and universal. Holistic because they incorporate the western medical model and the eastern spiritual model of health. You will begin to understand your own mind, your own unconscious habits, and a way out of confusion. You will see what is causing your suffering and how to heal. I offer walking-and-talking sessions outside in Hope Woods, sessions in the office, or Telehealth.

People often come to me stuck in past traumas, unhelpful patterns or survival mode. You might struggle with people-pleasing, numbing, or toxic relationships. Maybe you seek a compassionate space to talk about things you can't talk about anywhere else. I work with people wanting to understand and change the perplexing, harmful, or debilitating ways their mind and body react. My passion is helping people to feel more confident, empowered, in control and present. If you're looking to free yourself from past traumas and shame, to feel clearer and more content, we might be a good fit.
