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.

Hi. I'm Natalie, and I'm a licensed clinical mental health counselor. I'm very passionate about helping clients process past trauma of different types. I believe that the therapeutic relationship makes the biggest contribution to success in therapy.
I strive to help clients with both their daily ongoing stressors, while still identifying and working towards their long-term goals and commitments. I enjoy working with adolescents 16+ and adults of all ages, particularly those who are going through major transitions in their life, or coming to new realizations about themselves in any phase of life. I am a queer and neurodivergent identified and affirming therapist. I encourage you to reach out if you are looking for a therapist that can both hold quiet space, as well as push and challenge you in appropriate ways.
My work in the mental health field started more than 20 years ago when I provided crisis support to first responders and the people they served. My clinical training started with educational psychology and over the years my focus shifted to working with adults and couples as I pursued my doctorate in clinal psychology. The focus of my practice has always been on providing trauma informed care to individuals who seek to address the impact of life stressors or traumatic events to better understand themselves and their patterns of relating to others.
I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) who understands the importance of providing healthcare from a holistic perspective, centered on healing the whole person (mind, body, and spirit). I am certified in working with all ages, from children to the elderly. I can help with anxiety, depression, bipolar, ADHD, ASD, and Schizo-affective disorders. My psychiatric experience includes working in acute care psychiatric hospitals as well as private practice outpatient mental health care.
I have been practicing as a licensed therapist for 10 years and specialize in helping people reclaim their lives by healing from the pain of trauma, anxiety, and depression. I am trained as a clinical mental health counselor with additional specializations in play therapy and trauma focused work. I work with all populations from preteen into adulthood.
I’m Rosemary, a licensed psychiatric nurse practitioner who is deeply committed to walking alongside you through life’s more tender and challenging moments. I work with adults who are navigating grief, loss, and major life transitions, and I also offer faith based therapy for those who want to incorporate their spiritual beliefs into the healing process.
Before specializing in mental health, I spent many years as a family nurse practitioner, which shaped the way I see people as whole and complex individuals. I believe everyone carries a story that deserves to be heard with care and respect. If you are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or searching for meaning in a difficult season, I want to hear your story and help you find a way forward that feels true to 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.
I'm a psychodynamic therapist specializing in perinatal mental health, matrescence, and family of origin wounds, including trauma. I'm a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist (T2574) and hold a Master of Arts in Marriage, Couple, & Family Therapy from Lewis & Clark College. I have formal training in perinatal mental health, and basic training in perinatal EMDR.
As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist & Licensed Drug and Alcohol Counselor, I see clients with a wide range of issues and complexities. I partner with clients to offer solution-focused and brief interventions with a side of humor.
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.
Hi, I'm Nico, I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker providing psychotherapy in New York City. I'm dedicated to working with individuals of all ages who want to live healthier, more fulfilling lives. I bring over a decade of experience to my practice, helping people work through anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, life transitions, and issues concerning self-esteem, identity, and emotional regulation. There is a lot going on in our world, and I help people unpack and learn to manage how the pressures of today are affecting them. Whether you are facing a specific challenge or simply feeling stuck, I will work alongside you to address what’s going on.

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.
