Hi, I am Dee Emerson

 
Dee Emerson counselor in New Hampshire

I am an experienced therapist in New Hampshire.

We would work well together if you are looking for:

  • Lasting change

  • Someone to guide you through the process of transformation while respecting your choices and values

  • To go beyond the surface of issues you are facing

  • A therapist who is right there with you every step of the way!

My style

Maybe you do not feel like your best self or like you are living to your potential. You feel lost about how to make meaningful changes, ambivalent about things getting better, and trapped in negative thoughts and feelings about yourself or others. You are at a loss for what to do.

Working with you, I will create a safe and respectful environment to invite meaningful change. I want you to make informed decisions and feel empowered throughout our process together. I want you to feel accepted and understood and have the feedback you need to challenge yourself toward change.

 
 

After working with me, many of my clients say they feel:

  • Safe, accepted, seen, heard, and understood

  • Supported while also challenged

  • More able to cope, manage their life and their feelings

  • Better connection with their loved ones

  • Less conflict in their lives

  • Able to be spontaneous and have fun again

  • A renewed sense of direction in life

  • Higher levels of self-worth and confidence

  • Hopeful about the future

 

My approach

I see my work as a creative, collaborative, and fluid process. Using equal parts experience, research, and intuition, I am excited to help each person, couple, or family discover their unique path to change.

I am curious about you and finding your inherent strengths and talents so I can tailor my approach and apply specific skills and strategies to help you succeed.

I am active, engaged, and present in our process. I give you space to find your own way, and I am right there and ready when you need me.
