I work with individuals navigating emotional pain, life transitions, and personal growth, offering a steady, compassionate therapeutic presence.

With nearly 30 years of experience in the mental health field, I have dedicated my career to helping individuals navigate life's challenges with compassion, respect, and clinical insight. I have had the privilege of working with people from all walks of life, supporting them through concerns such as anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship difficulties, life transitions, and personal growth.

For nearly two decades, I have served as a therapist in a college counseling setting in Vermont, working closely with young adults during pivotal stages of their development. In addition, I have provided care in both community mental health and hospital emergency settings, supporting individuals and families in moments of acute crisis. These diverse clinical experiences have deepened my understanding of the many ways people experience distress and the many pathways toward healing.

I’m Rosemary, a licensed psychiatric nurse practitioner who is deeply committed to walking alongside you through life’s more tender and challenging moments. I work with adults who are navigating grief, loss, and major life transitions, and I also offer faith based therapy for those who want to incorporate their spiritual beliefs into the healing process.

If you are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or searching for meaning in a difficult season, I want to hear your story and help you find a way forward that feels true to you.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) with over 20 years of experience helping individuals restore balance, build resilience, and reconnect with purpose. My approach blends evidence-based therapy with a compassionate, person-centered style that supports clients in navigating stress, anxiety, life transitions, and relationship challenges.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Portsmouth

Finding the right therapist in Portsmouth starts with getting clear on what kind of care you need. Therapists, counselors, psychologists, and psychiatrists each bring different training and credentials. If you're looking for talk therapy for anxiety, depression, or relationship concerns, a licensed therapist (such as an LMHC, LCSW, or LMFT) is a common starting point. If you need medication management, a psychiatrist or psychiatric nurse practitioner may be the right fit. Many providers in the Portsmouth seacoast area offer both virtual and in-person sessions, so you can choose the format that works for your schedule.

With several directories listing providers across New Hampshire, it can be hard to tell who is actually accepting new patients and who takes your specific plan. Reading a provider's bio can help you understand their approach, specialties, and what a first session might look like — so you can feel more confident before you book.

Therapy in Portsmouth can be expensive without insurance. Using your in-network benefits is one of the most reliable ways to reduce what you pay per session. On Headway, you can enter your insurance information to see estimated session costs before you book, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find a provider who fits both your clinical needs and your budget.
