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

Amiti Grozdon

Therapist

Virtual • New Hampshire


Life can look completely fine on the outside while feeling exhausting on the inside. I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, BFRBs, ADHD, OCD, neurodivergence, self-worth, loneliness, relationship patterns, dating, or simply the feeling that something isn't quite right.

You don't have to be in crisis to benefit from therapy. Whether something has been weighing on you for years, you're feeling stuck, or you've just started noticing life feels harder than it used to, you deserve support. There doesn't have to be a "good enough" reason to reach out—if it's important to you, it's important.

Whether you're brand new to therapy or you've tried it before and walked away feeling unseen or misunderstood, you're welcome here. You don't need to have the right words or know exactly where to start—just showing up is enough.

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

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.
