Hi, my name is Maureen Roianov and I am a clinical Social Worker. I have been in practice for 28 years and remain passionate about what I do. I serve people that live in NH as well as Vt, In 2000 I began my training in EMDR and by 2002 I became level II trained. SInce that time I have participated in numerous addional EMDR trainings and have incorporated it deeply into my practice. In 2016 I begn training in Sensorimotor Psychotherapy and was blown away by its efficacy. I decided then that it was my ethical responsibility to pursue further trainings of that particular modality. I am now level II trained with numerous additional weekend training. Additionally I offer hypnotherapy having trained with Dan Brown in Ma. I see adolescents as well as adults of all ages.

Salina Mecham

Therapist

Virtual • New Hampshire


Hi, I’m Salina Mecham. I earned both my bachelor’s and master’s degrees in Social Work from the University of Utah, along with certification in substance use treatment. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), Master Addiction Counselor (MAC), and Domestic Violence Intervention Treatment Counselor (DVP), and I am fully licensed in Utah, Washington, New Hampshire, and New Jersey.

I have experience working with adolescents and adults in a variety of settings, including residential programs, behavioral health hospitals, and community mental health. I began my career in group homes for youth, where I developed a strong foundation in working with individuals in high-stress and high-need situations. Since then, I have continued to support individuals navigating mental health challenges, substance use, trauma, relationship concerns, and life transitions.

I am a trained Level 1 Gottman therapist (working on Level 2), this is helpful to those struggling with relationship issues. I am also a trained Level 1 IFS therapist, which is a great modality for people struggling with PTSD, depression, anxiety, etc. I have invested countless hours in learning other helpful modalities and concepts that add to my knoweldge.

People tend to seek me out because they are looking for someone who feels normal and approachable. Sure, I have a quirk or two, but people often describe talking with me as feeling like they are talking with an old friend who happens to know a lot of mental health specific things and who gives solid counsel and makes them feel valid in this crazy world.

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.
