Philosophy
The clinicians at Portsmouth and Exeter Mental Health Associates bring extensive experience and expertise to the practice of psychotherapy. Each therapist brings his or her unique training and orientation to their work and all are committed to an open-minded, non-judgmental stance in approaching problems presented by their clients. We are all trained to listen with curiosity, see with care, and support with understanding. In the course of treatment a trusting confidential relationship develops between therapist and the client that allows for a sympathetic exploration of deeply personal life issues. In psychotherapy the client is able to resolve internal conflicts, to improve his/her sense of self and capacity for relationships, to have hope, and to reach his or her potential. It is our belief that optimal growth takes place when we are able to achieve fulfillment and happiness without the burden of emotional constriction.
