Female Therapists in Moultonborough, NH

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.

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.

Feeling overwhelmed, anxious or discouraged because of a challenging relationship in your life or a big change? Changes, difficult people in our lives and demanding jobs can leave us drained, confused, and extremely frustrated. Lets talk about balance, boundaries, self compassion, gaining perspective, and finding ways to find peace amidst the challenges. We can work together to understand negative patterns in your life, and choose to make positive changes for yourself, family, faith and work. I especially love working with other helpers such as nurses, EMT's, social workers, ministry leaders, teachers, and parents.

My name is Anne Marie Allwine LICSW with P.E.E.P.S. Psychotherapy. P.E.E.P.S. stands for: P.eople seeking E.mpathy E.mpowerment P.ersonal growth and S.upport. I have worked in the mental health field for over 30 years in a variety of settings, most recently as the School Counselor for a private high school. I use a supportive strengths-based approach but also will challenge one's thoughts if they are irrational or self- destructive (CBT). I find it is also helpful to assist people to learn coping strategies and build skills that work for them.

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.

LCMHC in NC & NH, a Masters in Clinical Counseling, 200 - HRYTT & Level 2 Holy Fire Reiki practitioner. EMDR, EFT Trained Trauma Informed therapist, CSTIP, Certified Licensed Hypnotherapist, has held an ISSA personal Fitness Trainer certification with other certs.

I help people that have given birth or are preparing for birth. New parents who are navigating the emotional aspects of the postpartum phase. Many new parents experience the "baby blues" in the first 2 days-2 weeks postpartum. Experiencing ongoing mental health symptoms beyond those first weeks may benefit in added support. Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders (PMADS) affects as many as 1 in every 5-7 postpartum birthing parents. PMADS can look different, it may be a constant worry, unexplained rage, guilt, or sadness. I am certified through Postpartum Support International providing me with the specialized education to support you.

When I took my first sociology and psychology class in undergraduate school, I learned that I was fascinated with people, groups of people and social systems and how they all work together to develop the person and mind. I have worked in many different settings helping children, adolescents, and adults meet their goals. I have worked therapeutic residential settings, community mental health settings, community-based services settings and the academic setting providing services to individuals and families for the last 7 years.

Supporting individuals toward their sense of wholeness is my therapeutic purpose. Every individual has their own journey; a path of unfolding understanding through their processes of the body, mind and emotion. My therapeutic approach is integrative, meaning the whole being - one's body, emotion, cognition and the being's essence (spirit/soul) are important variables in the process of wellness and healing. When appropriate, and consent is given, therapeutic touch is a supportive modality to support the Client in accessing bodily held, maladaptive and traumatic experiences.

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.

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.

I have been in the mental health and addiction field for 30 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. I will help you to explore how past life circumstances has and is affecting you in the present and provide you with tools that will help you to be happy and healthy as an individual and in your relationships.

At Gray Matters, we help clients reach their emotional 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.
