Therapists in Rye, NH

In these uncertain times people are faced with more stress and challenges than ever before. You may be experiencing symptoms of depression and anxiety related to job insecurity, financial concerns, family pressures, and feelings of helplessness and isolation. Please know that you are not alone in your struggles. We will work collaboratively to deal with the emotional challenges and obstacles that are causing distress and leave you feeling stuck and powerless. I believe everyone has strengths and potential and we will work together to discover yours.

My clients work with me to achieve their goals when cognitive and emotional obstacles are getting in the way. With my PhD in Clinical Psychology and my work as a peak performance coach, I can help. I work with clients who are business executives, athletes, visual and performing artists, and individuals in competitive fields or roles who want to reach their optimal level of functioning. While changes can be hard to create, seeking support will help to reduce the stress and create immediate results. I utilize cognitive behavior strategies to personalize and speed the return to optimal functioning.

Finding the right therapist and beginning therapy can often seem overwhelming if you are not sure where to start. My clients receive individualized, evidence-based treatment approaches that allow them to be empowered to challenge and change aspects of themselves and their lives they want to be different. My approach is genuine, compassionate, and a combination of unconditional support and being held accountable when needed. Each session is a place for you to be your authentic self and take a closer look at thought and behavioral patterns that may be holding you back from where or who you want to be.

Coaching may be the better option for you instead of therapy. The clients I work with do not want to waste time. They want to determine what they want, create strategic plans towards their goals, and achieve success. I help them to reduce the emotional doubts or upheaval, and organize their thinking in a logical, objective way. They can drop all coping mechanisms, doubts and social demands to authentically connect with what they want their lives to be. They are able to voice their challenges and determine strategies towards their optimal professional and personal lives.

Welcome...breathe..... Congratulations, you made it to 2022. Maybe you have been "just getting by", surviving for a long time? Or it's fatigue, anxiety or depression. Trauma. Perhaps you are experiencing the ache of loss. The effect of living through a pandemic can be profound all on its own. Whatever it is, you are looking for something more. At New Hope Counseling I am here to meet you right where you are. No judgement. I will listen and help you learn better ways to live, leading you to feel better whether you are 6-years-old or 60-years-young! I will encourage you, support you and provide helpful resources along the way.

I work with individuals and couples. Often men find it difficult to identify their emotions or are unable to translate their emotional experiences into words. I can teach you to learn behaviors and skills to allow you to better express emotions such as vulnerability, intimacy struggles, and perceived weakness. It is very important to most men to feel they are respected and appreciated. Men need a safe place to express their feelings of hurt and vulnerability. These are valid and important male feelings. Men can enhance their well being by learning to identify those feelings, express them appropriately, and be respected for them.

Deciding to address challenges in order to feel strong, healthy and living the life you want is an important step. If you are facing anxiety, stress, depression, trauma, difficult life changes, self-esteem issues, grief, and/or substance abuse, I work collaboratively with you towards improving your mental well-being and your life. I provide a safe, caring, non-judgmental space, and can help you gain insight into problems, fears, and behaviors which may be creating or compounding your difficulties. I will support you in processing your challenges, while exploring problem solving strategies that lead to empowerment and healthy change.

I am a licensed Counseling Psychologist (Ohio: in person and virtually) and LGBT Coach (virtually) who has been in private practice since 2012. I work primarily with individuals in late adolescence and adulthood who are open to interpersonal therapy aimed at helping you discover, understand, and strengthen coping skills for managing life's stressors and living your most authentic life. My goal is to understand you and your world as best as I can from your perspective so that I can be as helpful to you as possible in making meaningful changes in your life.

When more information is needed regarding a presenting problem in your life, a psychological evaluation can provide data to support treatment and provide a better understanding of the challenge. I specialize in comprehensive psychological and psychoeducational evaluations for children and adolescents, and neuropsychological evaluation for adults. My evaluations include the assessment of learning disorders, intellectual disabilities, attentional and executive function disorders, behavioral disorders, anxiety and depressive disorders, and autism spectrum disorders.

In my role as a therapist, I strive to provide that special relationship that can help clients achieve their potential happiness. Through Cognitive Behavioral, Strengths Based, and Solution Focused approaches to therapy, my goal is to support and guide clients to find the answers they need. These approaches gently support clients through their transitions out of their present distress and toward a more carefree and mindful way to live life.

I work with people on a variety of issues, typically those struggling with anxiety/depression, stress management, substance abuse and addiction. There are moments in our lives that feel extra stressful or overwhelming and this is perhaps more true today given these especially challenging times. This is when having strong, healthy coping strategies and the right tools can help us feel back in control with the ability to better manage life again.

The emphasis on my training is in child, adolescent and family therpy. I received a Master's degreee in Counseling Psychology at Antioch University of New England. I specialize in eating disorders and I have a combined 25 years experience as a psychotherapist.

I work with adults who are in crisis and those who are struggling with depression, anxiety, and relationship problems. I work from an emotional perspective helping people talk about their feelings and understand where they come from so they will be better able to understand themselves and relate to others more effectively. Sometimes those feelings are about the pains of the present and sometimes they are about the pains of the past. I help people sort out these feelings, find their proper place, let go of old wounds and find the feelings that lead to postive connections.

I see adult individual clients, couples and older clients in my practice. I work beside clients in a compassionate manner around issues and challenges that they bring into the therapy room. I always keep hope for clients and help them find and see their strengths and courage.

Significant loss, sadness or anxiety can impact our functioning at any point in our lives. A good therapeutic relationship can offer support and clarity. Emotions can seem overwhelming, but having a safe place to process them can be life-changing. Holding emotions alone can create an internal experience of overwhelm, but a connection with a therapist can lessen the feelings of isolation, anxiety, depression and/or stress.

Welcome to my practice. With over 18 years as a practitioner in the mental health field, I have learned that at the heart of every successful clinical relationship is a strong therapeutic connection between the therapist and client. I consider it my responsibility to create a safe and nonjudgmental space that allows you to openly explore your thoughts and feelings. My approach is collaborative, present-focused, and solution-oriented. I also believe strongly in the connection between the mind and body and support a holistic approach to emotional health and wellness.

Seeking support is a sign of strength, not weakness, and that is something to be admired. Being strong doesn't mean we have to work through everything on our own. I practice from the belief that no matter how stuck or lost you may feel, growth and healing are always possible. Therapy is an opportunity to gain insight into your more vulnerable parts of self, expand your perspective, heal and ultimately move towards self-acceptance and a more fulfilling life.

Compassion and safety, metaphors and stories, laughter and creativity, brainstorming and education are some of the tools I will combine to help you feel understood, heal, and then grow. I will adjust my style to what I sense you need as a whole person: body, mind, and spirit. I frame my work in psychodynamic theory, while using cognitive-behavioral and experiential techniques. I infuse all sessions with the principles of mindfulness. I can help you organize your thoughts on difficult decisions, coach you to be more assertive, and help you establish better boundaries. I will teach you a variety of coping skills for managing stress.
