Therapists in Gilford, NH

Are you struggling with life's challenges? Are you depressed or anxious? Are you having difficulty with your family or children? I have 15+ years of experience in a variety of settings working with families, children, adolescents and adults. I believe that if you are motivated to make change, then change is possible. I'm here to help you make that change. I believe in finding the positive in a negative situation by switching the way you think about things.

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.

People go through life and at times get stuck due to their emotions at which point they are not sure how to proceed. My job is to assist them in moving forward. I use a compassionate/direction oriented approach with my clients.

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.

We all experience anger, anxiety, worry & panic at some time in our lives that can feel overwhelming. Struggling with emotional pain does not need to control our lives. Anger, pain, and resentment do not have to keep us from living lives with meaning and purpose. Learn to channel emotions to enhance your life with meaning and vitality. As a therapist, I aim to integrate the language of the heart with the guidance of science. I am particularly focused on helping people who suffer from chronic shame, self-criticism, anger, and anxiety.

I offer an interactive, skills building approach to assist clients with managing emotions, anxiety, impulsivity, low-energy, distractibility, anger, binging/purging, grief/loss, depression, parenting, interpersonal and relationship dynamics, achieving goals, and moving through a variety of life challenges. I can help you come to know and recognize your strengths moving you toward healing and building inner joy. I provide individual and couples therapy. I also work with parents and their child assisting to enhance their positive connection.

Life's challenges can be overwhelming, and it's easy to get stuck. The good news is that you are not alone. I am a clinical mental health counselor who uses a client-centered, solution-focused approach to work with individuals to find healthy ways to meet those challenges. Together, we’ll get to the root of the problem. Together, we work through tough issues. Together, we identify goals, create strategies, and a path to achieve them empowering you to grow and move forward with confidence.

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.

We are currently accepting new clients for individual therapy. 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.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who has been providing mental health counseling services in New Hampshire since 2014. Because I spent most of my career at a community mental health center in Wolfeboro, NH, I have had the privilege of working with and learning from a wide range of individuals from various walks of life. I consider my counseling style to be flexible, collaborative, and compassionate. It is important that my clients feel understood and heard, and I aim to provide a safe and open-minded space for people to work through some of life’s most difficult challenges.

Life can be difficult, and sometimes we feel stuck, not knowing how to move forward and feel better. Are you stressed about something from your past, something happening today, or do you have a fear of the future. I am committed to helping you with compassion and without judgement. When you feel heard, it is the beginning of recognizing and changing things for the better. Finding the right therapist is important because a supportive connection is central to feeling great. I work with children, adolescents and adults and would love to talk with you to see if we could be a good fit.

I am a clinical psychologist working with people of all ages. I specialize in helping children and adolescents who have faced difficult life circumstances, including complications from emergency medical events and pervasive medical diagnoses, as well as those who have experienced various types of abuse. My experience on psychiatric inpatient units allows me to be helpful in navigating mood disorders, dissociation, somatic symptoms, and other intense emotional experiences. My work on medical inpatient floors enables me to support those with eating disorders, traumatic brain injuries, genetic disorders and other medical conditions.

I work with individuals, children, and families who may be experiencing stress, feeling disconnected in their relationships, or facing challenges within their family. These and other similar life challenges can be very uncomfortable experiences and difficult to handle alone. Together, we can develop effective skills to manage stressful thoughts and feelings, increase self-awareness, and simply enjoy relationships with those most important in your life.

Everything we do serves a purpose for us at some point in time. However, our goals can change and sometimes our once-useful behaviors become ineffective or even harmful. I often describe dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) as “common sense therapy.” Using familiar concepts, DBT helps people recognize when their behaviors are no longer serving them and teaches how to replace them with skills to more effectively meet their needs/goals.

Looking for support, personal exploration, to improve mental health? Counseling can be a great tool for self-improvement. Many of us may find ourselves faced with overwhelming stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship issues in these challenging times. Counseling can be a safe place to process this and a way to discover inner resilience. I especially enjoy working with creative, artistic, intuitive and spiritual individuals. My style is highly interactive and conversational where we will help to identify underlying issues, determine where these originated and help to improve your level of functioning.
