Hi there. Thank you for being curious about my profile. I appreciate the difficulty involved in reaching out for help and support. I lived in Rhode Island and had a therapy practice in Bristol, RI for years. I relocated to Salem, New Hampshire in 2019. I hold a license in NH. My license number is 2097 with the NH Board of Mental Health Practice. I have had a long career in human services and have had my own practice as a therapist for over 10 years. I am a mature therapist, both in years and experience. My experience has been with individuals with anxiety, panic symptoms, fears and phobias, depression symptoms such as low motivation, family and relationship stress, and self-esteem and confidence issues. I also have experience with the grief process. My approach is first to establish trust with you, then to help you crystallize what you want to be different in your life. After you have that clarity, we will add tools to your toolbox that you can use to make the changes you desire. I have a clinical supervisor with whom I discuss symptoms. I do not disclose any identifying information so as to protect confidentiality for my clients. Most clinicians have regular supervision and I feel it is necessary to have another professional's perspective, advice, and support as part of my career. When you sign the agreement to work with me you are agreeing to my continued professional relationship with my supervisor that may include discussing one or more of your symptoms. And you are also benefitting from another experienced clinician's advice. Unless I were to have a signed release from you, I am ethically prohibited from disclosing any personal information of yours that would identify you. It’s not easy making changes in our lives, but I will give you the support, encouragement, strategies and feedback along the way that will make the process easier and more likely that you will succeed with your goals.

My name is Nadine Thompson, and I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the states of Rhode Island and Massachusetts. I earned my Master of Social Work degree, specializing in Clinical Practice, from Smith College School of Social Work in 1991. I also have post-graduate certification in Addiction counseling, multicultural practice, DBT, and Couples and Family Therapy. I've worked in many different settings with individuals and families who have a variety of personal issues such as depression/anxiety, stress, family problems, trauma/abuse, addiction, relationships/parenting, and more. Over the past 30 years as a clinician, my experience has taught me that the most important aspect of counseling by far is the rapport, connection, and comfort you feel with your therapist. Recently, i have come to really see the value in being able "to hold space" for clients to express their deepest feelings and possibly find the answers and direction that they need as they become more self-aware. We all want to be able to share our personal truths and be accepted and understood. I believe in the power of “telling our stories”, as a pathway to healing and resilience. Our work together may include you being able to see yourself and those around you more clearly and develop tools and strategies for creating change in your life. My counseling style is warm, and empathic and I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I approach counseling through a client-centered, narrative approach. My philosophy is that every client has strengths and solutions available for what they are going through. It is important for me to help my clients feel empowered to overcome their present life circumstances. I look forward to meeting you and being on this journey with you!

Hello and welcome! If you are reading this then I applaud you for taking the first step to come to therapy. The good news about taking this step is that you do not have to do it alone! Together we will make your journey a little easier. My name is Amanda, I am a Licensed Clinical Therapist out of Rhode Island. I graduated with my bachelor's in Psychology from Rhode Island College, and hold a Masters's degree in Social Work from Simmons University. I have been working in the field for over 10 years. A majority of my experience comes from working with children and families in diverse settings including child welfare, trauma and abuse, acute/mental health, substance abuse, case management, and juveniles within the court system. A majority of this work has been done within the home, schools, foster care placements, and community settings. It is important to me to establish a safe, nonjudgmental environment, and show respect to all clients. Based on your needs together we will figure out what treatment modalities work best. I believe in utilizing a holistic, client-centered approach, frequently using methods of CBT. Together I can help empower you, increase your self-esteem, set healthy boundaries, as well as learn to regulate emotions in a positive manner while changing thought patterns. I look forward to working with you!

Hello and welcome. My name is Stephanie. I have been serving children, youth, and families in various professional settings for over 18 years. My skill set is diverse, and I believe in authenticity in practice, which involves tailoring treatment to meet each person’s unique needs. For 15 years, I was a dedicated Home-Based Therapeutic Service provider (HBTS) and Personal Assistance Services and Supports worker (PASS). In these roles, I supported children and teens with autism and other developmental abilities in achieving many different goals in many different settings. I became an expert in de-escalation techniques, crisis intervention, and behavioral therapy, including Applied Behavior Analysis. I also learned how to be a support system to caregivers and family members as they came to understand and accept a new diagnosis and subsequently, a new way of life. During graduate school, I interned at a middle school and Butler Psychiatric Hospital (each for one year). I focused my studies on clinical and therapeutic interventions. These experiences enabled me to refine my skills in different professional settings and learn new approaches to treatment, including psychiatric care/medication management, couples and group counseling, and trauma/grief counseling. In 2012, I graduated from Rhode Island College with a master’s degree in social work. I practiced clinical social work in Rhode Island for over 10 years and dedicated my time to Early Intervention and K-5 public education. I became an expert in play therapy, family therapy, and assessment and evaluation. My favorite part of these experiences was learning about different family systems/structures and child-rearing/educational practices, and empowering all of these individuals to reach their goals/fullest potential. In 2021, I acquired my K-12 School Guidance Counselor Certification and moved to my birth state where I have been working as a School Counselor for an online/Virtual Academy in southern AZ. I come to BetterHelp with the desire to continue “helping” people through the comfort and convenience of the virtual world. I place high value in establishing and maintaining positive therapeutic relationships with my clients. I will provide a non-judgmental, “safe space” for you to (1) reflect upon your own thoughts, feelings, emotions, and behavior, (2) learn to manage work, social and/or familial dynamics/conflicts, (3) process and/or prepare for change in your life, and/or (4) work to accomplish your own ideas and goals as you see fit. Your input and feedback will also be important in our journey together to ensure that our sessions are always tailored to best meet your needs. I wish that everyone could see their strengths and the capactiy that they possess to overcome life’s challenges. I look forward to collaborating with you. Remember, this is your unique healing journey...YOU deserve this. Best Regards, Stephanie (she/her)
