Female Therapists in Meredith, NH

I utilize evidence based practices that emphasize changing maladaptive ways of thinking and behaving as key factors in reducing stress, anxiety, depression and self-defeating behavior patterns. I am dually licensed as an Independent Clinical Social Worker and Masters Level Alcohol and other Drug Counselor. I am an approved Clinical Supervisor for individuals seeking licensure through the New Hampshire Board of Mental Health and the NH Board of Alcohol and other Drug Use Professionals for LADC/MLADC licensure.

Today you are one step closer to a new you where you feel empowered and on a positive path to growth and well-being. I am a systemic therapist that utilizes a multi-model approach to create an environment that embraces the unique circumstances and needs of the individual. I am passionate about creating a strong therapeutic alliance and creating a safe space for my clients to feel empowered and embrace their authenticity. While we can't change difficult situations of the past, we can work together to better understand and resolve challenges in your life.

My passion as a Mental Health Counselor has been and continues to be the ability to work with individuals of all ages and backgrounds as well as their families. Assisting my clients learn how to manage their stressors, gaining insight into their thoughts and behaviors and enhancing their emotions and bonds with their supportive networks. Inner beliefs, past experiences, and unhealthy relationships are often a central issue we face in learning to live as our whole selves, fully accepted and fully loved.

Are you struggling with Anxiety or Depression? Are you often nervous, anxious or on edge or do you worry too much? Are you feeling down, depressed or struggle to enjoy life? Are you easily annoyed or irritable? Is your relationship challenging for you? Are you having difficulty finding motivation and/or staying focused to accomplish your goals? I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution Focused Therapy, Interpersonal Therapy and other therapy models to help you work to resolve these difficult issues.

At Gray Matters, we help clients reach their mental health wellness goals using a variety of modalities. Meeting clients where they are, we offer single, short-term, long-term, and maintenance sessions through coaching, counseling, psychotherapy, consultation, and mediation. This is not a place to merely 'vent' about problems. Here, clients are active participants in identifying issues and taking the necessary steps to resolve those issues both during and in-between sessions.

I have been in the mental health and addiction field for 35 years. My approach is to "meet the client where they are at". I will work in partnership with you to help you to achieve your goals, while showing you the respect and trust you are looking for to empower you to move toward positive emotional health and happiness. Life coaching is about forward change, and as a client you will be provided a confidential space to process what is concerning you, receive actionable tools to help you to resolve what is no longer serving you and help you to set a path forward to live your life to its fullest.

Offering in-person sessions and telehealth sessions. My life’s work has been focused on helping people to live their best lives through understanding, perseverance, and empowerment. I have over 15 years of experience assisting and helping people in the mental health and substance use fields. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) and a Certified Grief Informed Professional (CGP).

When looking for a therapist to help listen, process and sort through so many of life's varying worries, concerns, and obstacles that we experience on a daily basis, whether immediate or long term, it is all about finding the right fit and developing a trusting relationship. Empathy, understanding, and the ability to listen with open ears are what I strive to provide to you and your family in your time of need. I approach you and your family as individuals while believing that you all exist within a large system made up of many moving parts that need to be included and considered as part of your healing and rebuilding process.

Congratulations on seeking help! You have taken the first step on the rewarding journey of healing and self-discovery. It takes real courage to face what may be overwhelming fear, despair and self-blame. But you don't have to struggle with the burden of hopelessness alone. Others that suffered in similar ways have gotten help even when therapy has not worked in the past. Whether one struggles with stress, relationship difficulties or with crippling self-doubt, therapy is used to identify barriers and cultivate tools that bring fresh perspective and resources to address the problem at hand.

Currently on a wait list but I believe that therapy should not be a forever thing, I am regularly graduating clients and welcoming new ones! I provide in person sessions so there is a comfortable space for you to explore. Rather than treating symptoms, I look to treat the root cause and heal that so that symptoms are no longer present. I have experience with men and women of all ages and if you're ready, I'm ready. I don't believe that therapy has to have a stuffy feel, I encourage you to allow your personality to come through as we work together to get you where you want to be.

Taking the first step towards a more fulfilling life is hard. A strong therapeutic relationship is among the most important factors in achieving lasting change. I view the therapeutic process as a safe and confidential process in which my clients and I work together to foster personal growth and increase self-awareness. My practice utilizes a collaborative approach to draw in those closest to you and most important in your recovery process. I am licensed to provide services to clients residing in New Hampshire, Maine, Vermont, and Virginia. All sessions are currently conducted via Telehealth.

Life can be quite challenging at times...I believe I can be helpful. What you will find is a kind listener, one who provides a warm and non-judgmental approach. The only person who has walked in your shoes is you...My goal is not simply talk therapy, but a more skill based approach. Perhaps we will look at thought patterns, coping skills or current relationships. The goal is to provide new ways of thinking and improved coping strategies to manage your emotional challenges and enjoy a more peaceful existence.
