In the county of Rockingham, New Hampshire is a small town called Portsmouth that is a popular seaport and tourist destination. It may be hard to fathom how anyone can be depressed in such a place, but depression is not just a feeling. It is a mental illness that needs treatment. Luckily, Portsmouth has many great counselors who can help.
When someone has depression, they are more than just sad, they are exhausted, confused, have trouble making decisions, have trouble sleeping or staying asleep, and may even have chronic pain. Set an appointment with one of our Portsmouth counselors to find out what you can do to get better.
"It's a good day to have a good day". This quote hangs in my office and serves as a reminder that you can take control of your day and how it is perceived. Today is a new beginning and an opportunity for change. Therapy isn't about being told what to do and using a "one size fits all" approach to happiness. It's about guiding you to discover what you need and working together to meet your goals.

I have been a counselor for 40 years, working in a variety of settings from elementary school to mental health agency, to inpatient hospitals. I have worked with young children, families, and aging adults. I strongly believe our self image is formed in childhood and we make decisions about ourselves as a result of our youngest formative experiences. Sometimes we make bad decisions based on bad experiences. With work, we can change these assumptions about ourselves. People who opt to work in therapy have taken a courageous step toward mental health. I honor...

Hello, my name is Danielle (she, her, hers).

My Journey began as a paramedic in Hartford, Connecticut. At the age of 20, I saw firsthand the physical and psychological suffering humans experience.

A therapist wants to support you toward a healthier emotional state, no matter what you're dealing with (including behavioral health concerns, grief, anxiety, depression or stress). While helping to develop healthier emotions, another benefit of therapy is you have a safe space to discuss problems that you may be hesitant to talk about with people who you see everyday.
Many people have sensitive topics to discuss; possibly an addiction or an issue with their relationship that they’re ashamed to speak about with their friends and/or partner. A Portsmouth therapist can help you confront these kinds of issues and find ways to face them and heal.
