Leila Hartstein

Therapist

Virtual • New Hampshire


I believe every person deserves a space where they feel genuinely seen, heard, and accepted. My approach is grounded in the social work perspective of "person-in-environment," recognizing that our mental health is shaped not only by who we are, but also by our relationships, life experiences, identities, and the systems around us. While I bring specialized training and clinical experience, I also believe therapy is a collaborative process. We can work together to better understand your experiences and help you move toward living more authentically and in a way that aligns with your values. My goal is to create a supportive and nonjudgmental environment where you feel empowered to grow and make meaningful, lasting change.

Therapist

Virtual • New Hampshire


Welcome! My name is Michelle Hebert, LCMHC. I am glad you have decided to explore therapy. Sometimes our life experiences can feel like a rock hitting the water’s surface, creating ripples that can impact every area of your life. Resilience is the dynamic capacity to navigate and bounce back from life's inevitable hardships. Rather then erasing emotional pain, resilience acts as a protective buffer the equips us to process pain without becoming overwhelmed. While therapy can be challenging, I am here to support and encourage you as you find fulfillment and empowerment.

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.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in New Hampshire

Searching for therapists in New Hampshire starts with knowing what kind of support and fit matter most to you. Across the state, needs and available therapists can vary between urban areas, smaller towns, and rural communities. You may be looking for help with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, trauma, ADHD, or life transitions. As you compare therapists, look for training, listed specialties, and therapy approaches that match your needs. A therapist’s bio can also help you understand their style, experience, and what a first session may include.

Location and format can shape your search for therapy in NH. If you live near Manchester, Nashua, Concord, or a smaller community, you may want to compare therapists by in-person office location, virtual appointment options, scheduling flexibility, and whether they are accepting new patients. Some people prefer meeting in a physical office, while others choose virtual sessions because they fit more easily into work, school, caregiving, or travel schedules. Before booking, read therapist profiles for details on communication style, session structure, areas of focus, and whether a free phone consultation is available.

The cost of counseling in New Hampshire can vary, and therapy can be expensive without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you find New Hampshire therapists who are accepting new patients, check whether your plan may cover care, and see your estimated out-of-pocket cost before you book. Nationally, Headway works with over 100 insurance plans, and coverage depends on your location and plan details. You can browse therapists, review bios, compare availability, and book directly when you’re ready.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
