Trauma and PTSD therapists & psychiatrists in New Hampshire

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I provide compassionate and collaborative therapy for adults (18+) navigating a wide range of life challenges. My approach is rooted in evidence-based practices, drawing from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Motivational Interviewing (MI). I also center my work around a strengths-based perspective, believing that each person already holds the capacity for growth and change.

I support clients with life transitions, stress and anxiety, depression, and other emotional and relational struggles. Together, we work to build insight, develop practical tools, and create meaningful change, at a pace that feels right for you.

My style is warm, nonjudgmental, and down-to-earth. I aim to provide a space where you feel genuinely heard, supported, and empowered.

Hi, I’m Salina Mecham. I earned both my bachelor’s and master’s degrees in Social Work from the University of Utah, along with certification in substance use treatment. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), Master Addiction Counselor (MAC), and Domestic Violence Intervention Treatment Counselor (DVP), and I am fully licensed in Utah, Washington, New Hampshire, and New Jersey.

I have experience working with adolescents and adults in a variety of settings, including residential programs, behavioral health hospitals, and community mental health. I began my career in group homes for youth, where I developed a strong foundation in working with individuals in high-stress and high-need situations. Since then, I have continued to support individuals navigating mental health challenges, substance use, trauma, relationship concerns, and life transitions.

I am a trained Level 1 Gottman therapist (working on Level 2), this is helpful to those struggling with relationship issues. I am also a trained Level 1 IFS therapist, which is a great modality for people struggling with PTSD, depression, anxiety, etc. I have invested countless hours in learning other helpful modalities and concepts that add to my knoweldge.

People tend to seek me out because they are looking for someone who feels normal and approachable. Sure, I have a quirk or two, but people often describe talking with me as feeling like they are talking with an old friend who happens to know a lot of mental health specific things and who gives solid counsel and makes them feel valid in this crazy world.

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.
