Nashua Therapists specializing in LGBTQ Issues

Joseph Winn

I work with people from various communities, identities, and relational styles. They enter therapy with a desire to address individual, relational, or sexual concerns, and find the courage to create the lives they want to live. As there no 'one size fits all' in therapy, I work to create a therapeutic experience tailored to the specific goals of the people I work with.

Aimee Mills-Viscovich

My ideal client is someone who is ready to engage in therapy and open to making changes. I am a hands-on therapist that believes therapy should be an equal relationship. I am interactive, pragmatic, and direct, while at the same time being understanding, empathetic, and caring. I believe that therapy should help to address your current situation(s) first, then investigate possible underpinnings. I specialize in LGBTQ+ individuals, supporting them through every life stage and transition.

Emily Forsythe

My clients tend to identify as LGBTQ, kinky, poly or identify as having a non-traditional relationship dynamic. They are usually searching for someone to help them navigate hurdles without having to explain the nuts and bolts of their sexuality, career, or lifestyle.

Sarah Happel

As a family therapist, I am passionate about working with families and the problems that keep them from their ideal relationships. My work is generally with youth, their siblings, and caregivers. When any person in a family is struggling, it impacts everyone. If trauma has impacted a family, the strength of connection is often stretched thin. It is my hope to connect, or re-connect, youth and families to their resilience, values, and love.

Ali Siewert

Being human is often tough. Sometimes we lose our way and can feel stuck and overwhelmed. Sometimes we would like to change parts of our lives or ourselves but don’t know how. Therapy can be an empowering way to promote healing, growth, and wellness. Often, we initially seek treatment to address a specific concern and then begin to uncover other areas of our lives in which we want to make meaningful change. My goal is for this process to feel supportive, affirming, and appropriately challenging.

Jennifer Schneider

I use EMDR therapy to help people recover from trauma. My preferred model of EMDR is the "intensive" model, in which we meet for a longer period of time per session (1.5 - 3 hours per session), for a smaller, total number of sessions. Research has shown that this type of approach can be very effective in helping people recover, and begin living their lives to the fullest once more.

Cindy Blank-Edelman

You're smart and analytical but you can't seem to analyze your way around your painful feelings. So you end up feeling disconnected from others in your life, unsure about how to communicate and assert yourself, and frustrated that you can't think your way out of your problems. In therapy with me, we will tackle your challenges in new ways, with creativity and humor and emotion. We'll recognize your strengths and appreciate how you have learned to take care of yourself.

Han Bertrand

I specialize in providing long-term therapeutic support to clients grappling with persistent anxiety, depression, complex trauma, self-destructive tendencies, and challenges in interpersonal relationships and self-identity.

Melanie Cohn-Hopwood

Many people come to a therapist when exploring their life path. Finding an affirming provider who can support you in your exploration is key to living your fullest life. I work with many clients exploring identity, life changes, health concerns, and complicated family dynamics. If you want a therapist who is affirming and knowledgeable about LGBTQIA+ issues, poly and kink relationships, health at every size, social justice and self-compassion you have come to the right place.

Laura Stevens

I have experience working with diverse clients including LGBTQI+ and transgender clients. I strive to approach my work with clients through a lens of cultural humility and a social justice framework. I have experience helping clients to explore issues related to sexual orientation and gender identity exploration. I am able to write letters for gender-affirming treatments.

Calvin Fitch

Social interactions and performance situations can feel like landmines for disaster. The social anxiety "monster" tells you everything that is wrong with you and ruins your confidence. I help my clients feel mo empowered in these situations. I help them take the weight out of the anxiety by using research-supported strategies to enable them to dismantle negative internalized beliefs. Navigating life with the social anxiety monster in your ear is tricky. Let's work to rid you of that burden!

Julia Wise Kofi

I provide identity-affirming therapy to adults with intersecting marginalized identities, including (but not limited to!) folks who are queer, trans, neurodivergent, disabled, kinky, non-monogamous, as well as other marginalized identities. I also enjoy working with those who previously had poor experiences with therapy, first time therapy clients, young adults, and those who feel “different.”

Online Therapy

Ellie Lipton

Some challenges that clients bring to our work include anxiety, depression, gender exploration, sexuality, grief/loss, relationships issues, workplace issues, and life transitions. I enjoy working with individuals and couples/non-monogamous partnerships. I have specialized training and experience working with LGBTQIA+ clients and current and former athletes.

Lee Kinsey

Some of my clients are working toward feeling more connected in their relationships. Some are working to heal from traumas of the past. Most are looking for an expert therapist, who having tried multiple therapists, need a more comprehensive, philosophically grounded, deeper, and richer experience of self-exploration and healing. My goal is for my clients to experience a connection they may have never felt that helps them build insight, understanding, and the courage and power to heal and grow.

Shelby Dwyer

I specialize in supporting adults with anxiety (some of whom may self-identify as perfectionists) and LGBTQIA+ Millennials. You may feel eager to make changes in your life and not know where to start, want to explore complex layers of your identities, or seek ways to better navigate relationships. We'll work together to boost your strengths and shift perspectives so you can engage in life with a more grounded sense of self.

Online Therapy

Dr. Luana Bessa

I help individuals, couples, relationship partners, and adult family members build more confidence and trust in themselves and with others. Clients often begin treatment longing for more connection with themselves, and more effectiveness in their relationships. They may have experienced a chaotic upbringing or relationship traumas in the past, and are frustrated with their history continuing to impact their present. We work toward building increased freedom, meaning, and joy in their lives.

Ann Marie Dobosz

It's a stressful, confusing, scary world out there. Do you respond to it by trying to be "perfect" or stay five steps ahead of life? Do you get caught in worry spirals trying to game out everything that could go wrong, or stuck in self-critical thoughts whenever anything goes wrong? Or perhaps you get paralyzed with anxiety, unable to take any action. That persistent feeling of "not good enough" can lead to depression, anxiety, or generally feeling like the life has been sucked out of you.

Online Therapy

Ursula Spont

I work with adults and young adults age 17 and above. Among my focuses of treatment are art therapy, adjustment to life transitions, trauma-informed practices, couples/relationship work, family systems approaches, perinatal mood disorders, CBT, women's empowerment, mindfulness, and self-compassion. I frequently provide therapy for fellow therapists, healthcare workers, college students, couples, and adults of all genders who have experienced trauma, anxiety, and depression.

Theresa Teofilak-Wilson

Are you looking to make positive life changes, heal past traumas, and improve relationships? Are you going through major life changes such as becoming a parent, changing careers, or dealing with chronic health issues? Therapy can be a safe place to explore your concerns and learn new skills for living a balanced life! We utilize traditional therapy modalities, but believe that body, mind, and spirit, as well as community and relational dynamics are inter-connected and deserve equal focus.
