Therapists in Salem, NH

TAKING NEW CLIENT. We work in the office and telehealth. We have training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Trauma-Informed, and many other types of therapeutic approaches. A therapist should never be one that judges you, makes you feel less than when you walked in, or lead from their own agenda. At Just For You Counseling, PLLC we welcome all clients, we strive to assist you based on your needs and meet you where you are at from day one. Therapy is your space to look at your deeper self, get inspired, and lay your challenges and concerns down in front of a non-judgmental therapist.

I work with adults and youth, couples, individuals and families. I focus on helping individuals as they seek knowledge about themselves and search for meaning in their relationships with others. I have worked extensively with couples in marital counseling, with families in conflict and with individuals dealing with the aftermath of trauma and abuse.

Have you ever found it challenging to reach out for help? Beginning therapy is a brave step forward that can ultimately change your life. I am honored to support clients working through past and present challenges, such as feelings of anxiety and depression, managing stressors, navigating life transitions, improving relationships, setting boundaries, and boosting self-esteem. You can learn a lot about yourself and your own needs through the therapeutic process, as well as make choices that are meaningful to you. Often this goes hand-in-hand with an empathetic, caring, and relatable professional collaborating with you.

I like to provide a warm and inviting atmosphere when you come to my office. Comfortable seating, scented candles burning, and a relaxed feeling as if you were at home in your living room. I see people for individual, couples/marital, and family therapy. I treat anxiety, depression, PTSD, anger management, and life stage transitions such as high school/college graduation, retirement, and early exit from the workforce due to disability. My work hours are M-Th from 12-8 pm, 7 pm is my last appointment time of the day. Please note, I do not see children under the age of 13.

Are you struggling to figure out your place in the world? No one seems to understand? School is not working for you, you aren't getting along with your family, you and your spouse or ex-partner aren't on the same page when it comes to raising the children, or you aren't able to decide how to move forward in your life? There are no easy answers to these problems and sometimes it is helpful to have someone you can talk to who is there just for you.

I am passionate about the work that I do and realize that reaching out and asking for help can be one of the most challenging aspects of starting the therapy process. We all have strengths, yet sometimes we need guidance to identify what they are and how they help us to move through difficult challenges we face. I draw upon several theoretical frameworks which include trauma-informed care, strength-based, solution-focused, narrative therapy, and systems practices. However, I prefer to relate on a human level and focus on building meaningful relationships where true compassion and understanding can lead to meaningful transformations.

I work with children, adolescents, and adults to provide individual, couple, and family therapy. I work from a systems focused perspective where treatment draws from client strengths, is solution-focused, and family centered. I believe in being supportive and empowering clients in their journey to improve. I enjoy using cognitive behavioral techniques to address concerns such as self-esteem, anxiety, depression, and general life stressors.

I am the Director of Salem Psychological Associates. We are a group of 11 psychologists, social workers, and mental health counselors, offering comprehensive evaluation and treatment services for clients of all ages and backgrounds.

I believe we all have the strength and power to heal ourself when we are able to take a deeper look. Often, we just need a safe space to explore, be curious, and build compassion for ourself. I specialize in traumatic stress and use a mind body approach to either heal, or simply increase self awareness and engage in self discovery. I work with any client who wants to deepen their understanding of themselves.

Are you or a loved one suffering from stress, anxiety, depression, or addiction? Has something traumatic happened, such as illness, injury, a family member's death, or abuse? Are you having difficulty with your relationships? These are just some of life's many challenges that can leave us feeling exhausted, overwhelmed, angry, or ashamed. If you are tired of feeling this way and ready to make changes that will lead to more fulfillment, joy, and peace in your life, then allow me to put my decade's worth of experience working with adults, couples, and teens to work for you!

Rehab is the first step on a lifetime's journey, not the final destination. Inpatient treatment is necessary to concur the life-threatening disease of addiction. Eventually, you'll leave rehab and have to return to your normal life - including the many challenges you face as part of your daily existence. Good rehab centers don't just throw you out into the world and hope for the best. Instead, they work with you to devise a plan for how you'll manage the challenges of life after you leave rehab. This process is known as aftercare planning and we believe is a key ingredient in the recipe for long-term sobriety success.

I work with all addictions, as I believe all addictions stem from the same source; our desire to Not-Be-Here-Now, to Not-Feel-This-Thing. Whether it's food, alcohol, drugs, sex, or anything else, I can help you by assisting you in identifying the root cause of your dis-ease. In addition, as someone who has successfully lost over 100 pounds, I am uniquely positioned to use both my personal experience and my training in mental health counseling to assist you in achieving your weight loss goals. Together we will explore how your excess weight has served you, and identify the steps you need to take to finally be able to release it.

Do you struggle with feelings of depression or anxiety? Are you a couple experiencing difficulty in your relationship or a parent challenged by your child/teens behavior? I provide therapeutic services to individuals, couples and families. I have over ten years experience working with family/couple conflict, depression, anxiety, trauma, grief/loss and parenting challenges. I also bring experience working with child and adolescent behavior problems, attachment, mood disorders and couple communication.
