Self-Harming Therapists in Portsmouth, NH

My view of therapy is an opportunity to engage in a collaborative process by which the therapist and client work together towards enriching lifestyle, and enhancing overall well-being. Additional treatment modalities I draw from include cognitive-behavioral therapy techniques aimed to help reframe and replace negative thought patterns leading to healthier responses in challenging situations. Furthermore, I work from a strengths based perspective that amplifies each individual's unique qualities through the process of self-discovery, healing, acceptance and forgiveness of self and others.

Currently accepting new clients. The professionals at TCMA are committed to supporting individuals and families through difficult and challenging life moments. Our treatment philosophy is that people should receive only the services most appropriate to their specific needs, personal orientation and presenting problems. We employ only those counseling approaches that adhere to the highest standards of our profession and believe the counseling process is successful only when the work is done between both the counselor and the client.

I believe we need mutual respect and trust in a therapeutic relationship. I work to build relationships that have those aspects as a foundation in our work together. I use active listening, empathy and understanding with evidence-based strategies to determine customized approaches that meet each individual's needs. I utilize a strength-based, solution focused approach in my work, identifying strengths and coping skills to be used as tools for increased success. The use of cognitive behavioral therapy is the cornerstone of my work but other modalities may come into play.

I view psychotherapy as a collaboration aimed at fostering greater self understanding while working toward personal change and symptom reduction. I strive to help my patients reach greater fulfillment in their lives by fostering understanding of the interpersonal patterns and unresolved personal, life and/or relationship issues that contribute to the challenges they face.

Welcome! I am a licensed clinical psychologist with 17+ years of experience providing assessment and therapy to adolescents, young adults, and families who are seeking to process and heal from a variety of issues including: depression, anxiety, anger, suicide/self-harm, trauma, impulsivity, gender identity issues, and problematic sexual behavior. Adolescence is a period of significant development that presents major social and emotional challenges. My goal is to provide a nurturing and accepting environment where clients can grow to appreciate the therapeutic process and learn new skills necessary to reach their identified goals.

Welcome! Have you noticed more feelings of sadness or irritability, worry about your future, or trouble keeping up with the demands of everyday life? Are you struggling with the stress and uncertainty you've experienced over the past few years? I would be honored to help support you through this period in your life, while offering a safe space to process your concerns and encourage emotional growth and healing. I have a special interest in working with marginalized and diverse populations, including those in the LGBTQIA+ community. I believe every client has inherent strengths and the ability to find peace and joy in their lives.

Currently accepting new clients! Life has a way of throwing bumps at us, and oftentimes, these bumps have the ability to negatively impact our mental health. My primary goal is to build trust and safety so that I can support you, your child, or your family as you navigate these obstacles in a safe space.

I provide counseling to individuals on a variety of issues including depression/anxiety,anger management, substance abuse, addiction, compulsive behaviors,and stress management. Counseling sessions are tailored to your goals: either short-term, focusing on a specific issue, or longer-term, addressing ongoing personal growth. If you are looking for ways to gain a better understanding of yourself, change old behavior patterns, learn new ways to cope with stress then counseling can help you. What you can expect from counseling is compassion, and understanding, new perspectives on negative feelings and behaviors, and strategies for creating positive changes in your life.

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.

At this time, I only have availability between 10am-2:30pm. As a licensed clinical mental health counselor, I have a variety of methods to meet the needs of those I work with. Though my approach will vary based on individual needs and preferences, I primarily utilize skills-based (cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, mindfulness) approaches. I provide solution-focused, trauma-informed psychotherapy to adolescents and adults struggling to cope with emotion dysregulation, interpersonal conflict and poor self-esteem.

As a clinical mental health professional, an Army Family Life Chaplain, VA therapist, and also a Christian ordained pastoral counselor (of 30+ years) I assist individuals in the community struggling with issues related to anxiety, depression, anger, grief, and trauma (PTSD). In addition to this I do marriage/couples therapy, pre-marital counseling, and spiritual/faith related counseling.

I find that a client is best served when they are listened to, validated, but also challenged to make positive change. That is why I take a cognitive behavioral approach to the counseling I do. Whether the client is a child or adult we all have the ability to learn from the past and make different choices for the future.

I'm so glad that you took the step to find a therapist to help you in your struggles! Life can be hectic and overwhelming and when you're struggling with issues such as trauma, depression, anxiety, separation/divorce, substances, issues with your children, the overwhelming feelings can feel like too much. I'm here to help you in dealing with these struggles. You don't have to continue to carry these issues alone.

Do you feel there are areas of your life you can personally work on improving for your own mental wellbeing or looking for help for your teenager? Do you acknowledge the importance of self-care, finding a healthy balance in your life and ready to be proactive about it? Would you like to try new things like alternative therapies while also incorporating traditional evidence based approaches? If so, please reach out to see if we are a good fit! I have 10 years of experience with a wide array of clients from seniors, adults, LGBTQ+ and especially teenagers and parents who simply want to be better at balancing life in any and many ways.

I enjoy working with children ages 5+ and teenagers. I am able to quickly build rapport and help them identify appropriate coping skills or understand behavior patterns. Although, I enjoy working with all ages to provide a safe space for exploration and a deeper sense of self.

I tend to think of therapy as an amazing opportunity to engage in a collaborative process that helps people to develop authentic, enlivened and creative relationships with themselves and others. I am interested in what moves people. What are the moments in their lives when they feel "lined up", fulfilled, attuned? My work focuses on cultivating healing and change in a safe and supportive environment. Compassion, empathy, and forgiveness toward one's self and toward others are important as we face the complexities and pain that life brings us and move toward a life well-lived.

The Covid 19 world is like no other. Our world often feels small and lonelyl. I am Jody Fuller and I am a Maine therapist. mM work focuses solely on the things most important to me: FAMILIES, KIDS/TEENS, and WOMEN IN TRANSITION. I offer my help. For parents, my 20+years of teaching Pre-8 and GIFTED kids, assist me in understanding your child's unique development, strengths, and needs. As a woman today, I am familiar with most transitions and difficult times. I will work to understand and support you.

Change is difficult, but it is possible. I help people identify the changes they want to make and support them in their journey toward their goals. I use a holistic and flexible approach that is designed to meet the needs of the individual. I am direct yet gentle and I challenge clients to trust and listen to themselves. I believe that living in the moment, known as mindfulness, is one of the most helpful tools that we have available to help us to learn how to foster compassion for ourselves and others, quiet our fears, identify what is important, and create the life we want.
