Women's Issues Therapists in Rochester, NH

Stepping into your true, authentic self can feel scary and overwhelming. Loving connections, grounded sense of self, and empowerment are the foundations of therapeutic work. I strive to create an environment which provides the opportunity to develop a greater understanding of yourself, experience growth, and bring about lasting change. You are the expert of your life experience. Together, we will navigate this journey and help you return to the life that’s been waiting for you.

Do you long for greater fulfillment in your personal relationships or at work? Are you considering a career change? Do you want to apply your professional skills and strengths in more rewarding and competitive ways?  The focus of my counseling is on the Transitions - planned and unplanned, that we encounter in life. These may involve life changes, education, career, or health matters, among other things. I can help you identify and build on your strengths and resilience for greater success and happiness as you move forward in your relationships.

Hello and thank you for looking at my page. Some say the hardest thing to do is what you are doing right now by starting the process for making change. My name is Wendy Allen and I am a therapist in the Rochester area that focuses on bringing awareness to how our thoughts lead to assumptions and beliefs which results in emotions and behaviors.

Hello! If you are reading this and looking for help you are right where you need to be :) I like to think of myself as an "UNshrink" . I believe in helping to de-pathologize you and whatever it is that you are struggling w, and helping you to experience your self, situation, and LIFE in a whole new way. I'm usually a good fit for ppl that aren't into traditional "therapy" for whatever reason: anxiety, skepticism, bad or unsuccessful past experiences, if you think you, your family, everything is/are beyond hope, or if you are interested in something completely "outside the box", bc that is me.

Our life can leave residual effects, based on experiences, leaving us feeling wounded, unheard and alienated from others and ourselves. Therapy is a private space to explore these effects and develop skills to move toward connection and fulfilment in our life. I am motivated by being witness to transformation and recovery. I have had the privilege of being part of someone’s journey of exploring experiences which have created distress in their life. I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW), with 15 years of experience in the mental health field. I graduated from Boise State University with a Masters of Social Work.

Whether you’re a teen searching for a sense of direction, a parent struggling to hold it all together, or an adult feeling stressed and overwhelmed, I can provide a safe space for you to explore, grow, and heal. Understanding how you got “here” is often important as you try to get “there.” It can be a lonely journey without someone alongside you. I understand that finding the right therapist is paramount when it comes to seeking guidance, or when you need someone to share your story with. Asking for help is often difficult and uncomfortable. I am experienced, approachable, and I look forward to working collaboratively with you.

I think we are all looking for happiness and peace. Unfortunately, these cannot be purchased or found in the bottom of a bottle. Happiness & peace are created. I have found Yoga and Buddhism to be the best tools over the past 7 years for adolescents, adults, parents, foster families, veterans & even inmates to create a path of happiness and peace. Yoga is scientifically proven to show improvement with symptoms of PTSD, anxiety and depression. DBT, CBT and IFS are evidenced based therapies that have roots in Buddhism. I choose to go straight to the source and educate clients about Buddhism. Let me teach you these tools.

Do you hope for an open-minded and progressive therapist? Do you have lifestyle considerations that you hope will be embraced and understood? Do you wish to target and resolve past traumas? As a trauma-informed clinician trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), I am experienced in treating PTSD and complex trauma. I meet clients where they're at and make goals that fit their current needs. I am LGBTQIA+, kink- and poly-aware, and neurodivergent-affirming. I have two more openings as of 3/6/24, both mid-day in Manchester (or telehealth).

Are you tired of the day to day struggle of using? Is everyone around you using and you don't know how to make it all stop? Do you just want your life back? Are you afraid today could be your last day and still that won't keep you from using? I meet you where you are, in a judgment free zone, where we can identify your internal and external triggers, emotions, thoughts and addictive behaviors. Together we will create an individual roadmap to recovery that will work for you! Christian or secular counseling available.

Most people who visit a therapist know that there is something they want to change, but they may not know how. Sometimes feelings of anxiety or depression, problems with relationships, challenges at work, or other social difficulties are difficult to understand and resolve without help. In therapy, my goal is to help you foster greater self-understanding and develop strategies to live a more fulfilling life.

Are you or someone you know struggling with managing emotions-anxiety or depression, are there sexual concerns for yourself or in your relationship, or are you struggling with adjustments in your life, maybe starting a family or parenting children who struggle with behaviors? If so I would love to hear from you in order to see if I am a good fit to help. I love working with all types of family systems, currently with couples or adult individuals. I believe that part of moving forward towards change is supporting my clients in finding the solutions within themselves.

Currently accepting new Anthem BCBS and self-pay clients! We are not given directions on how to walk the path of this life. The number one thing I believe in is the fact that we do not have to walk it alone. Through solution-focused therapy, I will strive to help you recognize patterns and obstacles of your past and present to help you gain understanding to create a better future.

I particularly enjoy working with individuals who have struggled with, or are resistant to traditional therapy. Navigating life's challenges can feel overwhelming, and for many, it can be difficult to express these feelings using only words. As an intuitive, I am able to connect with clients' energy and emotions to assist them in growing and healing. I frequently incorporate energy work and experiential activities to support them as they process experiences, discover individual strengths, and develop new skills to move through life with confidence.
