Stoop aims to allow children and families space and acceptance of all emotions while working towards learning to cope with, manage, and sometimes change what is unhelpful or harmful in these dynamics.
Dr. Tawni Stoop is a Therapist in New Hampshire who has been practicing since 2018. She has a BA in Psychology from Wesleyan University, an MS in Child Clinical Psychology from Pennsylvania State University, and a PhD in Child Clinical Psychology from Pennsylvania State University. Dr. Stoop approaches working with children and families from the understanding that all behaviors and emotions serve a purpose. When we understand that purpose and how those behaviors and emotions interact with each other and those around us, we can begin to understand how to approach change. Dr.

I see children, adults, and families.
I find that a client is best served when they are listened to, validated, but also challenged to make positive change. That is why I take a cognitive behavioral approach to the counseling I do. Whether the client is a child or adult we all have the ability to learn from the past and make different choices for the future.

I have experienced tremendous success with past clients - children, adults, & families.
Everyone has a dream for their lives, relationships, children, and the unique gifts they have to offer the world. But sometimes we can feel our dream slipping away or that obstacles are blocking our path. You’re reading this now, because despite the challenges you face, you still believe in your dream and capacity for happiness or healing, and you’re looking for the right support to help you succeed. My experience is that the difficulties, traumas, or systemic issues people face can become their greatest strengths. The question is whether you have the right support to help transform these challenges into greater happiness.
