DiAnne Proctor, Ed.D, LCMHC(NH), LPC(VA), CGP, CDBT, opened Southern NH Counseling in 2009 to provide individual and group counseling support for adults (18+) who are struggling to manage life stressors at work, home, or within. Dialectical Behavioral techniques (DBT) are effective in helping individuals who are feeling overwhelmed, anxious, depressed, or experiencing difficulty with relationships. Our offices provide a safe, soothing, and professional environment, where individuals can identify and work through barriers in order to find balance, wellness, and a greater sense of happiness.
What Individuals Should Know
People want to be able to manage their own stressors and struggles. It is hard to accept help and reach out for support. My goal is to help individuals to recognize the benefits of working with a counselor in order to get the help and support needed. By working together to navigate through the many transitions in life that create stressors and emotional distress, clients can gain a stronger sense of peace and balance.
