MONADNOCK COUNSELING SERVICES WELCOMES YOU

Have a particular obstacle that you're trying to overcome?  Sometimes, seeking help from a licensed professional is the best way to put things into perspective.  Providing compassionate and professional mental health services in the rural setting of the Monadnock region of New Hampshire is our passion.  We are happy to guide you through all of life's challenges with the attention and care you deserve.  We provide both individual counseling services and safety assessments.  

Treatments include a multi-faceted approach with a focus on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and we now offer Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Treatment (EMDR). EMDR is an evidence based, comprehensive treatment approach. This type of therapy addresses the physiological storage of memory and how it informs experience. Change is understood as the byproduct of reprocessing due to alteration of memory storage and the linkage to adaptive memory networks. EMDR therapy is used to address adverse life experiences that contribute to problems in daily living. EMDR is considered an “A” level treatment for trauma and recommended by the World Health Organization. EMDR has successfully treated social anxiety, phobias, panic disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, depression, attachment disorder, conduct problems, self-esteem, grief, mourning, body dysmorphic disorder, sexual dysfunction, pedophilia, psychotic disorders, chronic pain, migraines, phantom limb pain, and medically unexplained physical symptoms.

SAFETY ASSESSMENTS

We often find ourselves unprepared when facing a mental health crisis, and do not know where to turn or how to navigate the mental health system.  We are here to help.  We provide safety assessments when you or a loved one is in a time of crisis.  We provide last minute appointments, often after hours, to accommodate you.  Sometimes we will meet directly with the person in crisis.  We also meet with family members to develop a plan of care for their loved one.
