I’m Alison (Ali) Pugh, a Clinical Social Worker, USAF veteran, and mom of two. I help adults who are juggling work, family, caregiving, or major life changes that feel heavier than they look on the surface. If you’re feeling stretched thin, overwhelmed, or unsure of your next step, you’re in the right place. My style is calm, collaborative, and steady. There’s no pressure to have the perfect words.
Matrescence, or the identity shift at the heart of becoming a mother, is a deep, confronting process. So much surfaces during this transition. Maybe you're feeling far away from yourself and unsure when the ground will steady itself again. Maybe old losses, traumas, and wounds are returning to you in new ways, or you're feeling lost in the forest of change. Maybe you feel far away from your partner and unsure how to find each other again. Maybe you're navigating pregnancy loss or fertility challenges, or struggling to decide if you want to become a parent at all.
I'm a psychodynamic therapist specializing in perinatal mental health, matrescence, and family of origin wounds, including trauma. I'm a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist (T2574) and hold a Master of Arts in Marriage, Couple, & Family Therapy from Lewis & Clark College. I have formal training in perinatal mental health, and basic training in perinatal EMDR.
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.
My name is Melanie Hunter and I am a licensed professional counselor with over 20 years of experience as a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) practitioner. I hold a Master of Arts degree in Professional Counseling with an emphasis in Marriage and Family Therapy from Texas State University.

I am an individual and family therapist with over a decade of experience supporting adolescents, adults, and parents navigating challenging behaviors. I specialize in helping clients manage life transitions and cope with symptoms related to Depression, Anxiety, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder, Autism Spectrum Disorder, and grief.











Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Searching for therapists in Concord starts with finding care that fits your needs, preferences, and insurance. You may be looking for support with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, work stress, or a life transition. As you compare Concord NH therapists, look for someone whose listed specialties and approach match what you want to focus on. Provider bios can help you understand whether a therapist uses approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-informed care, or couples counseling.
Concord is a smaller city, so local in-person therapy options may be more limited than in larger New Hampshire markets. Virtual therapy can expand your search to more licensed therapists in NH while still giving you access to care from home. When narrowing your options, consider appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, whether they offer a free phone consultation, and how their communication style comes across in their profile. If you’re searching for marriage counseling in Concord NH or couples counseling in Concord NH, review bios for therapists who list couples work or relationship concerns as a focus.
Therapy in Concord can be a significant cost without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and get a clearer estimate before you book. Headway makes it easier to find a Concord therapist who accepts your plan, offers virtual or in-person appointments, and is accepting new patients. You can compare profiles, review estimated out-of-pocket costs, and book directly when you’re ready.
If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
