Therapists Beginning With P in New Hampshire

"I just want to be happy." - Everybody. I offer in person and Telehealth video sessions. I am an interactive therapist who works with adults on a variety of issues. I help people navigate life transitions and relationships. My focus is on helping people who are looking to free up negative energy, thought patterns or beliefs which inhibit change or growth. I specialize in the management of stress and anxiety, and depression. My framework is holistic, looking at a whole picture, not just a symptom.

I work with children of all ages, families, parents, and female adults who are seeking to better manage life. My clients come to me seeking support to manage stress, anxiety, ADHD and ASD. I work with families of young children to build emotion regulation skills and anxiety management skills. I work with teens on navigating the stress of high school and college prep. I work with parents on how to co-parent in ways that are supportive of their unique child. And I work with female adult clients who are looking for support to juggle their many responsibilities and find joy simultaneously.

VT MEDICAID ACCEPTED. NEW CLIENTS WELCOME! Do you react intensely to others' behavior? Do people say you are oversensitive? Do you sometimes need to withdraw from people to feel safe? A history of emotional wounding could be playing a big part in your distress. But it is often difficult to make the connection. Emotional mistreatment is not like physical or overt sexual abuse, which are episodic and which often leave specific memories. It is more of a pattern of behavior directed towards you that leaves you feeling hurt, alone and uncertain of your place in the world.

I am a therapist with over 40 years of experience, supporting clients through life's challenges and emotional and mental distress. I am amazed by the daily changes I witness in my clients. People come in, driven by anxiety, fear, and shame, and learn the skills to begin to heal those parts of themselves. I work with those who are tired of feeling unhappy and ready to start the process toward a life that feels good. Our Nervous System has a wonderful capacity for healing if given the right tools. You deserve to remember that you are more than enough!

I work with clients to understand their own thinking processes and belief systems, to develop new coping strategies and learn new skills to interact with family and others interpersonally, and to make lifestyle adjustments to bolster internal psychological and coping resources. Making targeted changes in these areas leads to improvements in overall mood and well-being for families and individuals. I work with children and adolescents using tools that are engaging and interactive and take their developmental needs and abilities into account.

Talking with a therapist can bring about deeper understanding of who we are, why we feel or behave as we do, what we want from our lives and how to find a path toward self-acceptance. I want to help my clients develop the belief that they can make positive changes in their lives and the tools to change defeating thoughts and behaviors.

As a licensed therapist I offer counseling and consultation services to individuals, couples and families using Cognitive Behavioral, Family Systems, Psychodynamic and Solution Focused techniques. My treatment approach is to provide support and practical feedback to help clients resolve current problems and long-standing patterns.

Life can be tough, overwhelming, and stressful for all of us at times. But, you don’t have to navigate these stressors alone; I am here to walk with you through these difficult periods. Whether you are trying to navigate the stress of everyday life, working towards a specific goal, or experiencing a recent change in your life, I am here to support you and empower you to reach your goals.

For the past 20 years, my work has focused on helping children with anxiety and behavioral challenges. Like physicians, practicing what is scientifically proven to work is essential. Children deserve no less! So when working to help children with anxiety, ODD, DMDD, CD, and IED, I use Parent Management Training (PMT), Cognitive Behavioral Training (CBT), and Problem-Solving Skills Training (PSST). For 7-years at Yale University and for the past 10 years through my clinic, I have trained hundreds of professionals and parents from around the world in these treatments via telehealth and in-person sessions.

My ideal client is anyone having a human experience in life and wants to maximize their moments of positive influence. Like many of my clients, I have learned to ride the ups and downs in life by improving my emotional regulation. The tools that we utilize to help us along the way need to be tangible and realistic; applicable to overwhelming environments & situations. The goal may not be to increase happiness, but increase moments of happiness, and moreover to increase awareness and mindfulness. Our goal is to learn how to survive and thrive in varying degrees of stress & discomfort; to utilize our assets & skills to live healthy.

At Parkland Medical Center, we focus on the whole patient – including mental health. In addition to our inpatient mental health services, we offer short-term outpatient mental health services for adults, including a Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP). The PHP provides an intense outpatient treatment setting for those age 18 and older who are struggling with maintaining daily routines due to symptoms of anxiety, depression or other mental health issues, and who may benefit from intensive mental health support and psychiatric intervention.

Anxiety? OCD? Sick of being anxious ALL the time? I developed a program for Anxiety/OCD that works! This is NOT a talk session. You need coping skills. In a few appointments, it will be much better! I have been working in mental health over 20 years. Specialties: Anxiety, OCD, phobias, depression, relationships/low self esteem, chronic pain. I give what I would want myself, answers & treatment that works! I respect that, having worked with thousands of clients with phobia's, OCD, chronic worry, marriage/relationships, loss, and communication problems. Panic attacks/phobias (highways, fear of medical etc.)

My clinical approach combines my formal training as a social worker and a holistic practitioner, allowing me to share my passion for exploration of the mind-body connection with my clients. My background includes studies in wilderness therapy and alternative medicine, and work with a variety of client populations including families, children with individualized learning needs, adults in substance use treatment, and clients healing from complex trauma.

I see my role as someone to help you grow from your struggles, heal from your pain, and move forward to where you want to be in your life, to the best of my ability. I consider myself your partner in your health and well being. We will achieve this by utilizing evidence based treatment in a manner that meets your personal needs and goals. I promise to follow your lead and always see you as the expert in you life. Let me help you discover your best self. I am currently licensed in: Connecticut 12059, Maine LC23529, Massachusetts 123756, New Hampshire 2706, Rhode Island ISW02907, and Vermont 089.0135856PROV

What inspires you? What scares you?  What do you most often shout from the rooftops?  What do you sometimes try to avoid thinking or feeling? I provide supportive and challenging psychotherapy for clients interested in identifying their complex narratives.  We will search for the patterns and themes that are creating barriers to healing and will locate those that enhance your ability to live authentically.  My social worker lens leads me to work with you to name and examine the societal systems most impacting you.

Life often does not go as planned or how we expect it to go. As a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker in NH, ME, and MA, I enjoy partnering with teens, young adults, and adults to support and work through the challenges they are experiencing. You can count on me to be present and work with you in sessions in a curious, direct, and understanding way. I will help you to develop goals and direction for the work we will do together.

I am currently accepting new clients through Cardinal North Wellness (CNW), where I can meet you on Zoom or in person. I've worked as a clinician for more than 7 years, and as yoga teacher for more than 15 years. I'm experienced working with college students as a writing professor. I work with individuals who struggle with Mental Health/Behavioral issues as well as those seeking support with Life Balance, Goal Setting, Coping Skills, Boundaries, and Communication. I value meeting you where you're at today, in order to support you in accomplishing your goals.

Are you or a loved one suffering from stress, anxiety, depression, or addiction? Has something traumatic happened, such as illness, injury, a family member's death, or abuse? Are you having difficulty with your relationships? These are just some of life's many challenges that can leave us feeling exhausted, overwhelmed, angry, or ashamed. If you are tired of feeling this way and ready to make changes that will lead to more fulfillment, joy, and peace in your life, then allow me to put my decade's worth of experience working with adults, couples, and teens to work for you!

Welcome into my virtual office! We can talk together in confidence, discovering new approaches to whatever challenge brings you to therapy now. My focus is to mindfully assist you towards well being including, but not limited to, freedom from anxiety, depression, addiction symptoms, trauma, physical pain, impulsivity and the resolution of grief. Self confidence, self knowledge, skillfulness and the personal freedom that comes from letting go of the past and moving forward in your life is the reward you can look forward to by engaging in therapy. I am queer welcoming and enjoy helping trans folk.
