I was grateful for how quickly I was able to be seen and for how seriously my concerns were taken. It was a really nice feeling after months of trying to get appropriate care elsewhere to have someone who both listened to and genuinely cared about my concerns."

Therapy is for everyone. One of the most common misconceptions about mental health is that only the most severe or complex experiences warrant professional support. Counseling is a space where all concerns are valid, whether you’re navigating a major life transition or simply feeling overwhelmed by the accumulation of everyday stress. There is no issue too big or too small for therapy. In fact, addressing challenges early can prevent them from growing into something more difficult to manage over time. At Amoskeag Health, our therapists often see patients who have been carrying stress, anxiety, or emotional burdens for longer than they realized. Day-to-day pressures like work demands, family responsibilities, financial concerns, or health issues can gradually build into a mental load that feels unmanageable. Because these stressors may not seem “serious enough,” many people delay seeking support. However, early intervention is one of the most effective ways to protect and improve your mental health. Our team of mental health clinicians has supported patients through a wide range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, mood disorders, trauma, substance use, relationship challenges and life transitions. Everyone’s experience is unique, and we are committed to meeting you where you are. Beginning counseling can feel like a big step, and it’s natural to feel uncertain or nervous. We aim to make the process as smooth and welcoming as possible. Our clinicians are highly trained professionals who are also real people: compassionate, attentive, and dedicated to hearing your story without judgment. If you’ve been considering counseling, you might be wondering what comes next. Understanding the process can help reduce uncertainty and make it easier to take that first step. Step 1: Schedule Your First Appointment You may be referred by your primary care provider, or you can contact our office directly to schedule an appointment at one of our Manchester locations. Our administrative team will guide you through the process, gather basic information, and help you find a time that fits your schedule. Step 2: Attend Your Initial Assessment Your first session is an opportunity for you and your counselor to get to know each other. During this appointment, your counselor will ask about what brought you in, your personal and medical history, and what you hope to gain from therapy. This is also your time to ask questions, share concerns, and get a sense of whether the therapist feels like a good fit for you. It’s important to remember that counseling is collaborative. You are an active participant in your care, and feedback is encouraged. Open communication helps ensure that your therapy experience aligns with your needs and goals. Step 3: Develop a Personalized Treatment Plan After your initial assessment, you and your therapist will work together to create a treatment plan tailored specifically to you. This plan may include how often you meet, the goals you want to focus on, and the therapeutic approaches that may be most effective for your situation. Our clinicians are trained in a variety of evidence-based therapies. Some of the approaches we commonly use include: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT):  This approach focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. CBT is used to treat anxiety, depression, and stress-related conditions, and it helps patients build practical coping strategies they can apply in everyday life. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT):  DBT is a skills-based therapy designed to help individuals manage intense emotions, improve relationships, and develop techniques for mindfulness, distress tolerance, and emotional regulation. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR):  EMDR is a structured therapy that helps individuals process and heal from traumatic experiences by using guided eye movements or other forms of bilateral stimulation. Solution-Focused Therapy:  This goal-oriented approach emphasizes strengths and progress rather than focusing primarily on problems. It helps individuals identify what is already working in their lives and build on those successes to create meaningful change. Motivational Interviewing:  This collaborative, person-centered approach supports individuals in exploring and strengthening their motivation for change. As therapy progresses, remember that change takes time. Building trust and learning new skills are gradual processes. Some sessions may feel more productive than others, and that’s completely normal. Consistency and openness are key components of progress. If you’ve read this far and feel that counseling might be right for you, we encourage you to take the next step.

“When I had very little money and very little insurance, Amoskeag Health really helped me by allowing me to come in for free," shares Liz, a patient who received financial assistance through Amoskeag Health's Sliding Fee Scale Program in 2025. Liz had come to Amoskeag Health for a routine checkup, just hoping to stay on top of her health, but her visit quickly became even more valuable than she expected. “My experience was a favorable one when I arrived there,” she said. “I was seen in a prompt manner, and the staff was friendly and courteous.” After living most of her life in New York City with limited access to quality health care services, she described the experience as “a welcome change.” For Liz, accessible care meant more than open appointment times and friendly staff. It meant she didn’t need to delay taking care of herself due to a financial barrier. When she expressed a need for financial assistance, Amoskeag Health connected Liz with a dedicated Case Manager, who helped her navigate the application process for the Sliding Fee Scale Program. Offering five levels of adjusted fees based on patient household size and income, this system grants a discount for use at all Manchester locations. "Being able to be seen by competent medical personnel means I can sleep at night, due to less anxiety,” Liz shared. That sense of ease drives Amoskeag Health’s mission of making high-quality health care available to everyone, regardless of their ability to pay. Liz was especially struck by how the team treated her at her first visit. “What stood out for me was the way staff made me feel welcome and respected, and the staff seemed to be well-informed about my medical issues.” Her experience speaks to the kind of compassionate, integrated care Amoskeag Health aims to provide for every person who comes through its doors. For patients facing similar financial burdens, case management services and low-cost prescription programs are also available. Liz hopes others in the community will be proactive in seeking care with Amoskeag Health. “I would want anyone else in the community who doesn't have much money or medical insurance to not hesitate to call or come in for treatment,” she said. “They will help set you up with an appointment, and it will be done with care and concern.” Click here to learn more about Amoskeag Health's financial assistance services, including the Sliding Fee Scale Program, Low-cost Prescription Program, health insurance navigation and coordination of government assistance benefits like TANF, WIC, food stamps, and Social Secruity.

Amoskeag Health Receives Grant From The Pearl Manor Fund April 1, 2026 L-R: Kelli Rafferty, Elliot Health System VP & Chief Philanthropy Officer; Nicole Clark, Amoskeag Health Manager of Social Services; Kat Sutton Amoskeag Health Older Adult Case Manager Amoskeag Health is excited to announce that it has received a major grant from the Pearl Manor Fund to support its work dedicated to older adults. “Within our Case Management Department, we have a dedicated Older Adult Case Manager (OACM) who works to help our patients navigate challenges and access services they need to enjoy healthy, independent lives, said Kris McCracken, President/CEO of Amoskeag Health, “This kind gift from the Pearl Manor Fund helps us strengthen our programs which focus on the specific needs of older adults.” Part of the Mary and John Elliot Foundation, the Pearl Manor Fund provides annual grants to local nonprofits for the specific purpose of providing assistance, comfort, care, and treatment for the elderly population of Manchester and surrounding communities. According to Kat Sutton, an Older Adult Case Manager at Amoskeag Health, the health center has seen a 33% increase in the number of older adults served since the pandemic. “In addition to chronic care needs, older adults are often impacted by social isolation which is a risk factor in and of itself,” she said. “Our dedicated team meets with patients and their families to evaluate and assess living conditions, transportation needs, and connections to social service programs, as well as the patient’s health needs.” Sutton added that this grant funding is critical in that many of the supportive services offered by Amoskeag are not covered by insurance but are vital in reducing cost of care. McCracken noted that over the past year, Amoskeag Health has cared for over 15,000 patients from infants to older adults and that more than half of those patients live at or below the federal poverty line. “Thanks to the support from the Pearl Manor Fund, we are able to continue to create and support healthier pathways for older adults,” she said.
