It's okay to be
a work in progress.
Your mental health and wellbeing is important. I’m here to help.
Whether you’re healing from trauma, seeking LGBTQIA+ and gender affirming care, looking for help with depression or anxiety, coping with life’s stressors, or something else, I’m glad you’re here and reaching out.
About Me
My name is Desmond Stern (he/they). I am an LGBTQIA+-identifying licensed clinical mental health counselor in the state of New Hampshire, and an out-of-state telehealth provider for the state of Florida. I work with adults (ages 18+) who are seeking care to create lasting change and wellness.
I believe that therapy is collaborative– we’ll work together to help you access your strengths and develop coping skills, find empowerment, and take authorship of your own story. I also believe therapy should be inclusive and affirming of folks from all walks of life. I have a person-centered, feminist approach to therapy, am EMDR-trained through EMDRIA approved training, and use a toolbox pulled from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Narrative Therapy, and my practice is Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)-informed.
If you are looking for a warm, supportive, non-judgmental space to grow and heal, please reach out. I look forward to connecting with you.
