Hi, I'm Diana Schryver, I'm an independently licensed clinical social worker in the state of NH. I have training and experience in working with first responders, police, firefighters, veterans and their families.
We are working together to help you on your journey. I am openminded, direct and creative in my approach. When appropriate I use humor. I am an observer by nature and curious about my clients and their journey
My name is Alli, I have an undergraduate degree and Masters degree in social work. I have worked in several different aspects of this field from case management, working with children and families, to doing end of life/hospice work and counseling. I use several different approaches in my practice but I truly prioritize the feelings of safety, warmth and acceptance as the basis of my practice. I utilize trauma informed care ( EMDR and Accelerated resolution Therapy) as well as CBT.
Hello- I am glad you’re here! I have ten years of experience as a social worker working with adults in a variety of settings, including community mental health and inpatient behavioral health.
I am compassionate and eager to help my clients understand and overcome their struggles.
My interest in mental health began during my military service as a Survival Instructor in the United States Airforce. During this time, I had the privilege of teaching students from all walks of life the skills to survive in any environment. I became fascinated with human behavior, stress management/responses and the profound capabilities of the mind, body and spirit when faced with adversity. While navigating through the wilderness, a waypoint is defined as "a stop along ones journey." It is a safe place where the traveler can take shelter, rest, gain insight on where they've been, accept and honor where they are, and determine their way forward. It's a place for healing. This is what I strive to provide for my clients. I completed my Master's in Clinical Mental Health Counseling through Northwestern University. I have experience counseling couples, teens, adult individuals, and groups. As an Airforce veteran, I have a passion for serving military members and their families. Other interests include working with blended families, and LGBTQ+ individuals and their parents
Have you done a lot of work on yourself, but still feel stuck in the same patterns?
You may understand your past, your triggers, and your relationships, but still feel overwhelmed or pulled back into the same cycles. You might be the one others rely on, while quietly feeling unsure of your needs or how to choose yourself without guilt.
I work with women who are ready to move beyond insight into real change. Together, we explore how past experiences are still shaping how you think, feel, and respond, so you can feel more grounded, clear, and like yourself again.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Portsmouth
Searching for therapists in Portsmouth starts with knowing what kind of support and fit you want. Some therapists focus on anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, work stress, or major life changes. Others may have training in specific approaches, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, or eye movement desensitization and reprocessing. As you compare options, look for a Portsmouth therapist whose listed specialties, approach, and experience match what you want to address in care.
Portsmouth is a smaller city, so the number of nearby in-person therapists may be more limited than in larger New Hampshire markets. Virtual therapy can expand your options while still connecting you with a therapist licensed in New Hampshire. When narrowing your search, consider appointment availability, whether a therapist is accepting new clients, session format, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading bios before you book can help you understand how each therapist describes their style, structure, and focus areas.
Therapy in Portsmouth can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway makes it easier to find therapists in Portsmouth, NH, compare profiles, check whether they offer virtual or in-person appointments, confirm coverage for your specific plan, and book when you’re ready. You can compare profiles, check estimated costs, and book directly when you’re ready.
