I am a licensed clinical mental health counselor and a certified yoga instructor. I love working with clients that are motivated to change and become the best version of themselves!

Welcome to TrueSelf Counseling & Consulting! I’m so glad you’re here!
Do you sometimes feel “stuck,” like nothing can change? It takes courage to reach out. If you are ready to take that step, I'd love to hear your story.
My name is Alison Mitchell. I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) in NH and ME. In addition, I hold a PhD in Clinical Social Work from the Smith College School for Social Work. My MSW is from the University of Maine School of Social Work.
I work individually with adults experiencing life transitions, parenting stress, depression, anxiety, or traumatic stress, often in combination with substance use disorder. I hope to facilitate your work building yourself and connecting with others in healthy ways. The overall goal is to cultivate your sense of who you are, moving toward who you want to be.
I’m Maureen Roianov, a clinical social worker with 28 years of experience supporting adolescents and adults through trauma, anxiety, depression, and other mood challenges. I work with clients in both New Hampshire and Vermont, offering a calm, grounded space where you can feel seen, heard, and safe enough to explore what hurts and what’s possible. Together, we’ll not only focus on easing your immediate suffering, but also on creating meaningful, lasting change in your life.
You notice your emotions are all over the place and you don’t know how to control them. Your head might be spinning with worry about the past and the future. When things get difficult and things we have to do pile up we can lose sight of the moments that help us stay balanced or steady. You are not alone. Therapy can help you get feeling like yourself again. Through teletherapy, you will receive the same high quality care you would get in an office from the comfort of your own surroundings.
I bring a steady and calm approach to therapy utilizing a strengths-based, non-judgmental, empathetic, and empowering approach to treatment using motivational interviewing, CBT & DBT. Each person is capable, resilient, and a whole human being. You might need a little help sometimes to listen to that wise voice inside of you that knows what to do. I can help.
I enjoy working with adults and teens who have difficulty with anxiety, depression, other mood disorders, relationship struggles, trauma, adapting to major life changes, and managing stress. I have supported clients through adapting to the inevitable changes life brings, grief and loss, exploring and embracing sexuality and/or gender identity, and much more.
I specialize in working with adolescents and adults of all ages who are experiencing anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and identity concerns. I have particular experience providing gender-affirming therapy and supporting clients as they explore and celebrate their gender identities. My goal is to help you build a meaningful life by identifying and embracing your authentic self.
My name is Emily Scott and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker working in the Denver Area. I have my Bachelors in Social Work from the University of Vermont, and my Masters in Social Work from New York University.
Hello there. I’m glad you’re here. It means you’re looking for something to change, and you’re taking action to make it happen. I’ve recently taken action and returned to my professional roots, working directly with people looking for personal fulfillment, happiness, and hope. I’ve been a Licensed Clinical Social Worker for 18 years and serve clients in New Hampshire, New Mexico and Colorado through telehealth appointments. I’ve also worked in administrative roles establishing mental health access across the country.
I know how important mental, emotional and spiritual health is – individually and collectively. It’s the path to living our best lives. It’s what helps us thrive. And, it can change our world. I believe that we all have limitless potential and capacity to learn from what’s hard, and use it to become the best versions of ourselves.

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.
