New Hampshire LCMHC #5711 · PMDD telehealth statewide

I'm a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor working with adults across New Hampshire by telehealth on PMDD and premenstrual mood, anxiety, and how hormones and neurodivergence intersect. The big clinics may be an hour south, but their waitlists and commute aren't real access, so this practice brings the care to you, wherever in the state you are.

For a condition that shows up every single cycle, having an in-state therapist who already understands PMDD, without a years-long search, is often the whole difference. I do every consultation myself, you're never handed off, and I'm especially experienced with how PMDD hits autistic and ADHD women, which is common and frequently overlooked.

Relevant focus: PMDD and premenstrual mood · women's mental health · autism and ADHD in adults · anxiety, OCD, and emotion regulation · neurodivergent-affirming, telehealth-first care.

Why PMDD therapy matters in New Hampshire

A serious condition for women, and real help across New Hampshire

PMDD affects a meaningful share of women of reproductive age, yet it is one of the most under-recognized conditions in mental health, and many women spend years being dismissed before anyone names it. If your hardest weeks arrive like clockwork before your period and lift once it starts, you are not imagining it and you are not overreacting. Because this practice is fully telehealth and licensed in New Hampshire, that recognition and care reaches you anywhere in the state, from Manchester and Nashua to the Great North Woods, without a long drive during the week you feel worst.

~5.5%
of women of reproductive age live with PMDD, making it about as common as diabetes in women
12 years
the average time women wait for an accurate PMDD diagnosis, seeing about 6 providers along the way
Up to 90%
of PMDD cases are estimated to be misdiagnosed first, often as depression, anxiety, or bipolar disorder
Up to 92%
the PMDD rate found among autistic women in research; around 45% among women with ADHD

Figures reflect published research and patient-advocacy data on PMDD in women; estimates vary between studies. Around 5.5% of women of reproductive age live with PMDD (IAPMD, using WHO data), yet patients report an average of about 12 years and several providers before diagnosis, frequently misdiagnosed along the way (IAPMD; King's College London). The neurodivergence figures come from studies of autistic and ADHD women. PMDD does not vary by state; for New Hampshire women, the difference an in-state telehealth therapist makes is being understood without a years-long search.

What we actually work on

PMDD therapy for the whole picture

PMDD is hormonal, but its damage is emotional, relational, and practical. That's the part therapy is built for, alongside the medical care a prescriber provides.

The monthly mood crash

The dread, irritability, and low that show up before your period. We build emotion-regulation skills for the luteal phase and learn to name the "everything is wrong" thoughts as symptoms rather than facts.

PMDD and your relationships

The people you live with feel PMDD too, and in New Hampshire's tight-knit towns and long winters that strain can build quietly. We protect those bonds with communication tools for the luteal weeks and untangle the guilt that tends to follow. More on PMDD and relationships.

PMDD, autism, and ADHD

If you're autistic or have ADHD, PMDD tends to hit harder and get missed more often. Research reports strikingly high rates, up to 92% of autistic women and around 45% of women with ADHD, though estimates vary. This practice is built around how your brain actually works. We work with your wiring, not against it, connecting to autism and ADHD support.

When it's more than PMDD

Premenstrual symptoms often travel with anxiety, depression, or OCD, and we sort out what is cyclical from what runs all month. We sort anxiety, depression, and OCD from the cyclical pattern.

The pattern that defines PMDD

Why timing is everything with PMDD

PMDD follows the calendar. Symptoms intensify in the luteal phase, the week or two before your period, then recede within a few days of it beginning. That repeating shape is what distinguishes PMDD from year-round depression or anxiety, and mapping it is where good New Hampshire care starts.

Symptom intensity Follicular phase (after your period) Luteal phase (PMDD symptoms peak) Period

A typical PMDD pattern: relative calm after your period, a steep climb in the luteal phase, and relief within a few days of menstruation. Mapping your own version of this is the heart of getting an accurate answer.

Recognized diagnosis

PMDD has been a formally recognized condition in the DSM-5, the diagnostic manual used by mental health professionals, since 2013, classified as a depressive disorder. The World Health Organization added it to the ICD-11 in 2019.1 It is real, diagnosable, and treatable, not something you are imagining.

Getting PMDD help in New Hampshire

For a week or two before every period, PMDD can turn life in New Hampshire upside down: the dread, the irritability, the sense of not recognizing yourself, then relief when your period starts, month after month. Many women here have spent years being told it was stress, hormones, or just PMS, when what they were describing was something far more severe and entirely real. Being believed, and understood, is often the first turning point.

Because I am licensed in New Hampshire and work entirely by telehealth, you can reach that care from anywhere in the state. From Portsmouth on the seacoast to Berlin in the North Country, from the Lakes Region to the Monadnock area to the Upper Valley, you meet from home, or wherever you have a private moment, with no long drive during the week your symptoms are worst.

Because PMDD follows your cycle month after month, steady, ongoing care matters more than a single visit. Telehealth across New Hampshire keeps that continuity without travel getting in the way. If your premenstrual weeks are also tangled up with anxiety or low mood, my post on PMDD, anxiety, and depression may help you sort out what is what.

Clinical FAQ

Common clinical questions about PMDD therapy in New Hampshire

Yes. Because sessions are online and I am licensed in New Hampshire, you can meet from anywhere in the state, as long as you are physically in New Hampshire and have a private space with a phone or internet connection. For a monthly condition like PMDD, being able to keep your appointments from home, without a long drive during your hardest week, is often what makes consistent care possible.
Yes. Because sessions are online, geography is not a barrier: whether you are in Berlin, the Great North Woods, the Lakes Region, the Upper Valley, or the seacoast, you reach the same care as someone in Manchester. For a monthly condition like PMDD, that consistent access without a long drive is often what makes therapy stick.
Yes. Sagebrush Counseling is licensed in New Hampshire (LCMHC #5711) and provides PMDD therapy statewide via secure telehealth, from Manchester, Nashua, and Concord to the Seacoast, the Lakes Region, the Monadnock area, and the North Country. You can join from any private space in New Hampshire.
Sagebrush Counseling is in-network in New Hampshire with Carelon, Cigna, Aetna, Providence, Harvard Pilgrim / Tufts (Point32Health), and Anthem BCBS. Private pay is also available: $200 for a 50 to 55 minute session and $120 for a 30-minute check-in for established clients. Coverage varies by plan, so please verify benefits before your first session.
For PMDD, yes: it's about your cycle, your skills, and your relationships, none of which needs a shared room. In New Hampshire it also means you are not restricted to the handful of nearby providers who know PMDD; you can work with an in-state therapist who already understands it, from home, which for a monthly condition is often what makes consistent care realistic.
Yes, often, and I work with this specifically. Research shows very high PMDD rates among autistic women and clearly elevated rates among women with ADHD. If your premenstrual weeks tear through coping skills you normally have, that collision is real and often missed. This practice is neurodivergent-affirming, and the therapy is shaped around how your brain runs.
No. The early work includes cycle tracking and assessment, and many people here arrive self-identified after years of a monthly pattern no one named. If it turns out to be something other than PMDD, that's worth knowing, and we direct the help accordingly.
Yes. The best first step is a free 15-minute phone consultation, where we talk about what you're navigating and whether the fit feels right. I do every consultation myself. Sessions run Monday through Friday, 8am to 6pm Eastern.
Yes, and it is common. PMDD is itself a depressive disorder, and it can also layer on top of ongoing depression. The distinction is timing: depression that eases after your period fits PMDD, while low mood present all month may be a separate condition. Tracking your symptoms across your cycle clarifies which you are dealing with, and therapy can address both alongside a prescriber.
Often, yes. People with OCD frequently notice intrusive thoughts intensify and compulsions become harder to resist in the luteal phase, easing after the period starts, because the hormonal shifts driving PMDD also affect OCD-related circuits. It is a cyclical spike, not a permanent decline. I treat both OCD and PMDD, so we can address the pattern together.
Yes, as long as you are 18 or older and physically in New Hampshire during sessions, which covers students at UNH, Dartmouth, Keene State, Plymouth State, and other campuses. College life, with its disrupted sleep and stress, often makes PMDD worse. Telehealth means you can meet from your dorm or apartment without a commute, and your student insurance may cover sessions if it is one of the plans I accept.
