Elian M. Beattie, M.S., LMHC
Owner
Clinical Director and Supervisor
Cognitive Behavioral Therapist
My clients receive individualized, evidence-based treatment approaches that allow them to be empowered to challenge and change aspects of their lives they want to be different. My approach is genuine, compassionate, and a combination of unconditional support and being held accountable when needed. Each session is a place for you to be your authentic self and take a closer look at thought and behavioral patterns that may be holding you back from where or who you want to be.
I have spent the past decade specializing in treating eating disorders, obsessive compulsive disorder, and anxiety disorders at the residential and outpatient levels of care. My experience has prepared me to help those who are not sure if change is possible. I use a combination of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), exposure and response prevention (ERP), and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) to help bring you change that will last a lifetime. I have expertise working with adolescents through older adults struggling with body image issues, an unhealthy relationship with food and exercise, and obsessive needs for control, order, and perfection. My work is Health at Every Size® aligned and is informed by a social justice perspective. I am committed to treating each individual as a whole and seeing every person’s strengths and potential.
In addition to my role as a therapist, I currently serve on the executive board of OCDNH, the NH affiliate of the International OCD Foundation. I am also owner and clinical director of Insights Group mental health therapy practice in Rye, NH and a credentialed clinical supervisor in the states of NH and MA.
Dr. Tom Grebouski, LCMHC
Peak Performance Specialist
Cognitive Behavioral Therapist
My clients work with me to achieve their goals when cognitive and emotional obstacles are getting in the way. I work with clients who are business executives, athletes, visual and performing artists, and individuals in competitive fields or roles who want to reach their optimal level of functioning. While changes can be hard to create, seeking support will help to reduce stress and create immediate results. I utilize both mental and behavioral strategies to personalize and speed the return to optimal functioning.
For over twenty five years, I have practiced clinical psychology in a variety of settings, including hospitals, schools, and outpatient specialty clinics. I specialize in the treatment of anxiety and the related challenges that impact adolescents and adults. Treatment is available for a range of overlapping clinical issues including anxiety, depression, attention deficit/ hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD). I primarily use cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), which is an evidence-based treatment. Evidence based treatments are types of therapies that have been proven through research to be highly effective at helping clients achieve their goals.
I am currently licensed to see clients in NH and ME and am a board approved clinical supervisor as well. I currently offer therapy via telehealth.
Professional development workshops and information seminars are another part of my professional work. I guide executives and their teams, or individuals supporting athletes, as part of the process toward clients’ goals. The workshops I create and facilitate help professional groups optimize performance, reduce roadblocks and allow for professional growth.
Dr. Sharyn Drew
Licensed School Psychologist
I specialize in comprehensive psychological and psychoeducational evaluations for children and adolescents, and neuropsychological evaluation for adults. My evaluations include the assessment of learning disorders, intellectual disabilities, attentional and executive function disorders, behavioral disorders, anxiety and depressive disorders, and autism spectrum disorders.
My role is to clarify diagnoses and guide support in therapy, in school, in the workplace, and in the family. When working with children and adolescents, my goal is to help parents and educators better understand a child or adolescent’s learning style and social-emotional functioning. With greater understanding, the individual, along with their parents and educational team, will move forward in finding solution-focused interventions that promote personal growth and academic success. When working with adults, I help clarify diagnoses and other issues impacting an individual’s optimal functioning. I provide tangible recommendations to help people take the next steps to getting their life to where they want it to be.
I graduated with a dual PhD in Educational Psychology and Counseling Psychology from Northeastern University and completed my post-doctoral fellowship in Child and Adolescent Neuropsychology at Mass General for Children at North Shore Medical Center. Since 2005, I have worked as a school psychologist and a consulting school psychologist within NH and MA public school systems. Prior to working as a school psychologist, I worked for ten years as a LICSW specializing in the treatment of children with trauma and attachment disorders.
Dr. Laura Obert
Therapist
I am a licensed Counseling Psychologist who has been in private practice since 2012. Although I see clients with a variety of issues, my specialty is in working with LGBTQ+ individuals to navigate the process of living their authentic lives. As a member of this community who has also received specialized training in working with this group, I have both a personal and professional understanding of the various factors that uniquely affect the LGBTQ+ community.
Over the past decade, I have worked with LGBTQ+ families who are or who wish to become parents and how to negotiate through the unique challenges this involves (fertility treatments, donor issues, etc.) I have also provided practical and emotional support to individuals in the process of gender transitions, including letters of support for medical transition, and therapy that focuses on integrating their identity. Additionally, I love to work with partners, parents and families to support them with understanding their loved ones’ transitions and identities and/or understanding their own experience with processing their loved ones’ transitions and identities. For them, our work together affords them a place to ask questions, process, and learn strategies to best support themselves and/or the trans folks in their lives.
I use a variety of therapeutic strategies to help my clients and their families discover, understand, and strengthen coping skills for managing life’s stressors. A type of therapy I often use is called Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which has individuals look at the relationship between their thoughts, feelings, and actions to better understand how they can change the patterns they feel ‘stuck’ in. CBT has been proven to be an effective therapy for a wide variety of issues, which makes it an evidence-based treatment.
I also work with individuals from late adolescence through adulthood struggling with anxiety, depression, and women’s issues. My goal is to understand you and your world as best as I can from your perspective so that I can be as helpful to you as possible in making meaningful changes in your life. I am currently practicing telehealth in 42 states through a PSYPACT license.
Suerae Stein, M.A., LMHC
Therapist
I am a licensed and nationally board-certified mental health counselor in the states of New Hampshire, Maine, and Massachusetts, and am also registered to work with clients in Florida. I provide HIPAA-compliant telehealth services for my adult clients. My expertise includes trauma-informed work with anxiety, mood disorders, trauma and PTSD, ADHD, difficult life transitions, self-esteem issues, and grief. I work collaboratively with clients in a safe, caring, non-judgmental environment, in which I help individuals gain insight into the problems, thoughts, and behaviors which may be creating or compounding their difficulties. Together, we identify and improve unhealthy thought and behavioral patterns, process difficult challenges, and explore problem solving interventions that lead to empowerment and healthy change.
I have extensive training and experience in evidence-based modalities such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), neural desensitization and integration therapy (NDIT), as well as relational and supportive counseling to help understand and build on client strengths while enhancing areas in need of more support. These modalities include a wide variety of cognitive and somatic approaches that are tailored to each client’s needs and can help create powerful long-lasting changes in overall mental well-being.
I consider the therapeutic relationship the most important precursor to success in therapy, and clients have told me that I am approachable, kind, compassionate, honest, easy to talk to, and non-judgmental. I invite you to take that first step toward empowerment and improved emotional well-being.
Matthew Garthwait, M.S.W., LICSW, MLADC
Therapist
As a social worker, for the past twenty years, I have focused on working with people to find new perspectives on problems, better ways to manage stress, anxieties, and addictions. I help people develop strong, healthy coping strategies and the right tools can help us feel back in control with the ability to better manage life again. I have worked extensively with adults and adolescents (ages 14 and up) in a variety of treatment settings.
I have also received specialized training in substance use problems. I am a licensed drug and alcohol counselor (LDAC) and approved clinical supervisor. I have a speciality in Opiate dependence counseling and treatment. I also provide substance abuse evaluations for the courts, employers, or school systems.
My process is down to earth and relational in nature. I approach my clients as collaborators who set their own unique goals for their treatment. I use a cognitive behavioral model (CBT), which helps clients develop the tools to challenge unhealthy thinking patterns, regulate their emotions, manage stress and increase confidence. I also work with clients to focus on their motivation to change their behavior, which can be challenging to do. I use approaches that research has shown to be highly effective at reaching their goals in life, known as evidence-based treatments. I am currently taking new clients both in person and virtually in NH.
Sheri Flaherty, M.S.W., LICSW
Therapist
Are you facing a significant transition or life event? Throughout life, challenges such as relationships, childbirth, parenting, career changes, retirement, health, or losses can cause debilitating anxiety and depression. I provide a safe, private, judgement free place to receive support, explore your issues, and discover answers to help you move forward. My background and training are in working with children over the age of 6 through the lifespan. I primarily work with clients struggling with Depression, Anxiety, Attention Deficit Disorder, Perinatal Concerns, Grief, and Loss.
My approach to therapy is, in part, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. This means that we will focus on learning new coping skills to address stress and anxiety. I help individuals learn how to address situations in a way that allows them to move forward in life, rather than feel stuck in familiar patterns. I also use Motivational Interviewing, which means we spend time talking about choices you’ve been making, identify how you make decisions, and develop ways to improve the outcomes of your decisions. I also borrow from traditions of Mindfulness to help clients live in the moment. We will spend time noticing how you experience thoughts and feelings and bring your awareness to the present moment. Together, I help people bring a more curious and compassionate perspective towards themselves.
Since receiving my master’s degree in 1999, my care settings have included community mental health, residential treatment centers, and private practice. It is important to me to participate in the most current trainings in my areas of specialization. I have completed the certification training for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder Certified Clinical Service Providers. Additionally, I am a certified Perinatal Mental Health Counselor (PMH-C), through Postpartum Support International (PSI). I support mothers and families from conception to a year post birth with their mental health needs. I am licensed to see clients in NH and MA and am a board approved clinical supervisor in these states as well. I prefer to see clients face to face and offer both in-person and virtual meetings.
Cecelia Tarr, M.S.W., LICSW
Therapist
As a licensed social work clinician, I work with those struggling with eating disorders, body image distortions, and OCD. I work with clients of all ages who are looking to form a healthy relationship with food and exercise. I also work with athletes who want to improve their performance by creating more positive thoughts about food and sport.
During graduate school I completed research about the role of sport for positive youth development, the role of social workers within sport, and the therapeutic skills social workers use in a dual role as sport coaches. This research, in addition to my part-time role as the diving coach at the University of New Hampshire, has solidified the philosophy I apply when I work with athletes and with clients.
I use evidence-based, client-centered, and strength-based approaches in my therapeutic practice. I use methods that incorporate cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and exposure and response prevention (ERP). My work is Health at Every Size® aligned, is informed by a social justice perspective, and embraces a continuous learning approach.
My approach embodies authenticity, compassion, and a balanced blend of unwavering support and constructive accountability. Every session serves as a safe space for you to express your true self and explore thought and behavioral patterns that might hinder your growth.
Adrienne Dwyer, M.A., LMHC Candidate
Therapist
I am passionate about helping couples and families navigate difficult life transitions, family conflict, and relationship issues. I also help individuals who may struggle with relational issues. Together, we can learn how to make room for working differently with feelings like anxiety, depression, or shame that can often show up in unhelpful ways in our relationships.
I have experience working in community mental health settings and outpatient clinics and have helped people from a wide range of backgrounds and experiences. My goal is to meet the unique needs of each of my clients, and together, we take action to accomplish these goals. Some of these goals may include understanding “stuck” patterns of behavior with others, improving communication skills, and addressing past traumas and experiences in relationships that may be affecting your current ones.
My background in family systems has prepared me to be able to give you the tools you need to improve functioning in your relationships. Two of the approaches I use are focused on solving problems in the here and now (solution focused therapy and cognitive behavior therapy). These therapy approaches have been shown in research to help people change previously stuck behaviors and learn new ways to approach difficult problems. I appreciate any collaborative, client-centered approach to treatment to help people navigate transitions such as new jobs, new relationships, new living situations, etc.
A guiding principle in my work with clients is, “We are wounded in relationships, and we can heal in relationships”. I believe in each client’s ability to change and see the progress they hope to in their relationships. I am currently practicing under the supervision of Elian Beattie of Insights Group in Rye, NH for a New Hampshire license in Mental Health Counseling.
Wendy Harmon
Executive Assistant
As the Executive Assistant for Insights Group, I work to ensure the behind-the-scenes details of running the practice are organized and efficient. I take care of details regarding billing, new client communication, and initial client interface to streamline the processes of the business. This allows the therapists and coaches to devote their attention to the support of their clients. In addition, my work also ensures a smooth process for clients so they can focus on the therapeutic or coaching work that will make their lives healthier and happier. With my background as a BCaBA, I understand the importance of taking care of the details so that the practitioner and client can work together to best meet the client’s goals, quickly and effectively.
