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.
Hi, I'm Stephen, a therapist who believes that feeling stuck or lost is a deeply human experience — and that you don't have to navigate it alone. I bring compassion, curiosity, and creativity to every session, meeting you exactly where you are.
I work with clients of all ages facing a wide range of emotional and psychological challenges, including anxiety, trauma-related symptoms, mood difficulties, chronic stress, and major life transitions. Many of my clients are high-functioning on the outside while quietly feeling exhausted, avoidant, or trapped by patterns they can’t seem to change. If something in your life isn’t working, therapy can help.
My approach is relational, client-centered, and trauma-informed, with with particular expertise in contemplative and somatic practices that I am happy to share with my clients in sessions. I am known for being warm, direct and affirming. I am a rostered CPP clinician, and I also have training and experience in CBT, CPT, DBT, EMDR, Exposure Therapy, MBSR, Seeking Safety, MI, SFT, TF-CBT, MATCH, Art Therapy and IFS.
If you’re ready to step out of survival mode and into a more intentional way of living, I’d be glad to work with you.

Matrescence, or the identity shift at the heart of becoming a mother, is a deep, confronting process. So much surfaces during this transition. Maybe you're feeling far away from yourself and unsure when the ground will steady itself again. Maybe old losses, traumas, and wounds are returning to you in new ways, or you're feeling lost in the forest of change. Maybe you feel far away from your partner and unsure how to find each other again. Maybe you're navigating pregnancy loss or fertility challenges, or struggling to decide if you want to become a parent at all.

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.
