Anxiety and depression therapists and psychiatrists in New Hampshire

I have over twenty years experience, working with people with mental illness and substance abuse.

I am a licensed clinical mental health counselor and a certified yoga instructor. I love working with clients that are motivated to change and become the best version of themselves! I enjoy working with clients that are ready to break unhealthy habits and unlearn negative thoughts and behaviors that keep us away from our true happiness and identity.

Welcome to TrueSelf Counseling & Consulting! I’m so glad you’re here!

Do you sometimes feel “stuck,” like nothing can change? It takes courage to reach out. If you are ready to take that step, I'd love to hear your story.

My name is Alison Mitchell. I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) in NH and ME. In addition, I hold a PhD in Clinical Social Work from the Smith College School for Social Work. My MSW is from the University of Maine School of Social Work.

I work individually with adults experiencing life transitions, parenting stress, depression, anxiety, or traumatic stress, often in combination with substance use disorder. I hope to facilitate your work building yourself and connecting with others in healthy ways. The overall goal is to cultivate your sense of who you are, moving toward who you want to be.

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.

As a bilingual (English/Spanish) and bicultural therapist, I provide a space where every client feels seen, understood, and empowered to create meaningful change.

Kokoro—a Japanese word meaning “mind, heart, and spirit”—reflects my belief that healing begins when the whole self is engaged with authenticity and intention.

You notice your emotions are all over the place and you don’t know how to control them. Your head might be spinning with worry about the past and the future. When things get difficult and things we have to do pile up we can lose sight of the moments that help us stay balanced or steady. You are not alone. Therapy can help you get feeling like yourself again. Through teletherapy, you will receive the same high quality care you would get in an office from the comfort of your own surroundings.

I bring a steady and calm approach to therapy utilizing a strengths-based, non-judgmental, empathetic, and empowering approach to treatment using motivational interviewing, CBT & DBT. Each person is capable, resilient, and a whole human being. You might need a little help sometimes to listen to that wise voice inside of you that knows what to do. I can help.

I enjoy working with adults and teens who have difficulty with anxiety, depression, other mood disorders, relationship struggles, trauma, adapting to major life changes, and managing stress. I have supported clients through adapting to the inevitable changes life brings, grief and loss, exploring and embracing sexuality and/or gender identity, and much more.

I have over 35 years of healthcare experience in a variety of fields.

I am dual certified in both family and psychiatric medicine.

I am a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and serve as the primary psychiatric provider at a residential mental health program in New Hampshire. My professional experience encompasses leadership and direct clinical roles within diverse psychiatric settings, including inpatient psychiatry, emergency psychiatric evaluation, behavioral emergency response, and clinical education.

Earlier in my career, I co‐owned and operated a geriatric dementia respite care program, an experience that continues to inform my measured, compassionate, and patient‐centered approach to care. I am dedicated to the delivery of thoughtful, evidence‐based mental health services that uphold the highest standards of professional practice and are tailored to the individual needs of each client.

I specialize in working with adolescents and adults of all ages who are experiencing anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and identity concerns. I have particular experience providing gender-affirming therapy and supporting clients as they explore and celebrate their gender identities. My goal is to help you build a meaningful life by identifying and embracing your authentic self.

I like to create a environment of comfort, compassion ,humor and love with a system that is simple and easy to understand.Using various techniques and expertise, I will help you develop a practice and plan that allows you to manage, live a life of presence ,find a sense of freedom.
