Trauma Focused Therapists in Amherst, NH

I am currently welcoming new clients into my practice who are wanting to make positive changes in their life. My approach is client centered in order to honor each individual's story as well as assist in their healing process. Both my clientele and the therapeutic modalities I use are very eclectic and differ depending on what serves each client best in their life journey. I am passionate about supporting those who struggle with anxieties relating to sense of self, family dynamics, life transitions, perfectionism, and trauma. My goal is to guide you in becoming your unique version of "best self."

Offering neuroaffirming Autism and AD/HD evaluation for children and adults. I am a holistic, person-centered clinician and use a collaborative approach to support my clients in exploring the ways that societal, familial, and intergenerational trends have impacted their self-concept, sensed safety in relationship, and coping strategies. Utilizing a blend of Polyvagal theory, CBT, ACT, and mind-body interventions, I aim to support clients in understanding the root causes of their stuck points and challenges and replacing undesirable coping strategies with ones that align with their goals.

I love my work. You may want a quiet, protected space where you can think out loud - with the freedom to follow your thoughts to their own (surprising?) conclusions. Or you may want a more active interaction, a back-and-forth exchange to wrestle with difficult emotions and come out the other side feeling more settled and self-directed in your life. My first job is to meet you wherever you are - wanting help with an immediate crisis, or wishing to explore a past experience that continues to haunt you.

It can feel overwhelming to work on who we are while we are also trying to work on the day to day challenges that arise in all of our lives. Often we're told we just need to change our mindset when we know it's bigger than that. You may find you're stuck making the same choices and falling into the same patterns and relationships all the while feeling disconnected from the people and the world around you.

If you are going through something and need some support, it would be my honor to try to help you out. What you might face now may have something to do with the past, and may also impact the future for the worse if something isn't done now, in the present. I would enjoy working with you to consider the past and future while also focusing on the present as much as possible in order to glean what is most within your control, what are your resources and options, your abilities and limitations, how do we honor and validate these while also encouraging some change, and how do we tolerate what is outside of our control, etc.

Making a connection and being understood are essential to a positive and productive therapeutic alliance. My clients say they feel relief and gain insight which helps them enjoy a better quality of life and better relationships. I have 2 locations- the Wellness Seed Collective in Amherst and Stepping Stones Farm in Temple. We can meet in the office to explore struggles, develop strategies and resolve issues. We can also go outside to partner with horses for the powerful experiential method of Equine Facilitated Psychotherapy.

I believe that individuals deserve to live their life with less difficulty no matter how their biosocial makeup has been developed. Life continues despite how intensely challenging it can be. We are not in control of most situations, except of our own thoughts and actions. We do have a choice to continue to move forward in any circumstance that we are in, even if we feel like we can not. This can feel overwhelming and difficult, or even lonely, to take that first step. With a safe therapeutic space and down to earth soothing tone, we can work through these vulnerable steps together.

We are looking for clients that are motivated to make lasting changes in their lives. Most clients are looking for a nonjudgmental listener that can competently address their presenting issues and provide skills, tools and a trusting therapeutic relationship. As human beings we all have the need to be accepted, heard and understood. Our practice is supportive in nature and our approach is based in attachment and relational psychotherapy. Essentially, we work with people we like and who want to change their lives and the way they function. We manage an interactive client portal to allow supportive communication in between sessions.

A trauma informed therapist working with adults in MA. I use a variety of modalities that are unique and tailored to the individual. I have a certification in expressive arts and find art techniques useful when working with depression or self-esteem issues. I provide a non-judgmental, safe place to explore root causes of your symptoms. Sometimes something minor happens and our life spirals from there.

Life has ups and downs and sometimes this can be stressful and overwhelming. If you’re having marital or family challenges, work related problems or struggling with anxiety, depression or chronic pain, I can offer you a safe and comfortable environment to find solutions to get you through these rough times.

At times life presents challenges that can feel overwhelming, confusing and leave us questioning how to overcome them. However, I believe that teaching clients skills to develop greater self-awareness and self-acceptance can provide them the opportunities to manage and survive crisis situations, regulate their emotions, improve their communication in relationships and ultimately take control of their recovery. My approach to treatment can be described as collaborative, warm and supportive, while also being directive in coaching clients to practice evidence-based skills.

Currently not accepting new clients. Life has its ups and downs. It can be extremely hard to cope with the many changes. Our relationships with ourselves and with others can be impacted. Sometimes we can manage, but sometimes we find ourselves losing control and life can become overwhelming. Are you feeling depressed, anxious, irritable, lost, or possibly turning to substances to cope? Do you feel out of control with your emotions and/or thoughts? Are your relationships with others strained? Are you constantly having negative thoughts about yourself? We all have struggled at some point in our lives with a lot of these things.

Have you hit a sticky point? It happens! We hit them throughout our lives. From adolescence to adulthood. whether we are receiving care or giving it, we need to iron out the wrinkles now and again. As a teenager, you might be faced with tricky situations or struggle to have the types of relationships you want with family and friends. As an adult, the pressures of work, parenthood, or other caregiving might be triggering a lot of stress, anxiety, or depression. Or maybe you're heartbroken because it is your child who is struggling instead.
