Authentically You Counseling
Treatment Center, LCMHC
Scheduling at AYC is easy - schedule an intake as soon as next week. Finding the courage to be true to yourself despite the challenges you have to overcome is the ultimate goal of therapy. I believe one of the greatest grievances is living an inauthentic life with who you are. Regardless of what you’ve been through, if something is stopping you from living your truth - if fear prevents you from engaging in life the way you want or you are attempting to live up to some societal or personal expectation so far out of reach it hurts - If something is preventing you from living your fullest life, you can make a difference!
I want to help you reach your fullest potential according to your personal truth, values and beliefs. If we embark on this journey together, you will be the driver. I will simply help you see the different paths to reaching your end goal. In the end, you must be true to yourself in choosing the path you wish to take - or none at all.
Finding your truth sometimes means making a decision about whether or not to live your full truth. We can work together to help you explore your options to make the right choice for You. Making the call (or email) to start your journey is the first step - Let us start your journey together!

Rachel Losoff
Psychologist, PhD
I specialize in helping individuals overcome social anxiety and build confidence in social situations. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral techniques with exposure therapy, helping clients challenge negative thought patterns and gradually face feared social scenarios in a supportive environment. Through our work together, clients learn to develop practical coping strategies, improve their social skills, and cultivate a more positive self-image, enabling them to engage more comfortably and authentically in social interactions.

Aria Fraser
Hypnotherapist, Certified Rapid Transformational Therapist
Everyone is 'wired' with a deep fear of rejection as a survival instinct-- finding connection and avoiding rejection are how our race has survived, and how we find meaning and fulfillment in life. Social anxiety is rooted in this fear of rejection, and people who have had negative childhood experiences that made them feel socially rejected or not good /safe enough around others will often develop unhelpful beliefs; these drive behaviors such as feeling anxious/ fearful around others, not having the courage to speak, wanting to avoid people as much as possible, etc. The events that are the cause of the beliefs need to be identified, and this is where Rapid Transformational Therapy can provide clarity. Once the underlying belief is addressed, it gets reframed and replaced with suggestions that rewire the subconscious to feel safe/ happy/ excited around other people and visualization of doing things that were previously a cause of anxiety. Ongoing support will be available after the session(s).

Maria Jose Rendon
Psychologist, Ph.D.
I work with adults navigating social anxiety, from discomfort in specific professional situations like public speaking or networking to more pervasive difficulty feeling at ease around others. For some clients, this includes the particular experience of neurodivergence, not being sure whether you're following the rhythm of a conversation or reading social cues the way others expect. My approach is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, trained through the Beck Institute, which gives us a structured way to understand what's driving the anxiety and build practical tools and gradual exposure to manage it. Many of my clients are professionals, scientists, or first-generation Latinx adults for whom social anxiety is compounded by code-switching or navigating spaces that weren't built with them in mind. I offer sessions in English or Spanish.

Manchester is New Hampshire's largest city and a former textile mill hub on the Merrimack River that has been significantly shaped by one of the most severe opioid crises of any city in the northeast—Manchester has repeatedly ranked among the US cities hardest hit by fentanyl and opioid overdoses, and substance use treatment, harm reduction, and recovery support are central to the local mental health landscape. The city has a significant immigrant and refugee population, including large communities from Africa and Central America, creating demand for multilingual and culturally competent mental health services. Catholic Medical Center and Elliot Health System provide behavioral health services, and Southern New Hampshire University has its main campus in the city. Common therapy concerns include substance use and recovery, opioid-related grief and family trauma, immigration and refugee stress, and the economic and community pressures of a post-industrial city navigating a sustained public health crisis.
