I am a licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor in New Hampshire (License # 2518) with 3 years of clinical mental health counseling experience. I have experience in helping clients with trauma and abuse, parenting issues, motivation, self esteem, and confidence. I am a Professional Member of the American Mental Health Counselors Association (AMHCA). As a Clinical Mental Health Counselor, I am governed by the AMHCA Code of Ethics.
I have a Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, 2019, from Southern New Hampshire University Manchester, NH. I am also a Reiki Master which I currently do not practice on others. I use it for my own personal growth and spirituality.
Before entering private practice, I worked with families who are working with DCYF on reunification due to neglect or abuse at Home Base Collaborative Family Counseling (HBCFC). I have also worked with students who have difficulties engaging in school by helping develop a School to Home Connections program at HBCFC. I was the DBT Coordinator at HBCFC and completed the Marsha Linehan, Dialectical Behavior Therapy Intensive Training from Behavioral Tech facilitated by Anthony P. DuBose, PsyD and Vibh Forsythe-Cox, PhD on 11/14/2022. Currently, I provide individual therapy for a wide variety of difficulties. My main areas of focus are anger, anxiety, depression, and adjustment issues. I work with all ages.
I use many different modalities such as CBT, Person Center, Solution Focused, and DBT. Since my DBT training I have focused on using DBT skills (mindfulness, interpersonal effectiveness, distress tolerance, Walking the Middle Path, and emotion regulation). DBT is an evidenced based practice and although the strongest evidence exists for DBT as a treatment for people with borderline personality disorder, DBT has been found to be effective for a wide variety of mental health conditions and a way to make your life worth living.
I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support & empower you in that journey.

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.
- Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
- Available now.
- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Gary understands what my goals are and how I want, and need, to reach them.
Amazing!
Gary is a great listener and writer who knows his stuff! I feel like he is the closest thing to having a friend who isn't afraid to tell me things to help me be a better person as well as find out things about me I seem to ignore or not see. I'm thankful.
It’s really pretty early but so far he has been helpful
Gary has been great! He is able to listen guid and give tools but always presents the options and it’s up to me to choose how I would like to move forward. I don’t get any sense of agenda or biases that influence how he influences me when I’m asking for guidance. I very much appreciate his support.
I have been in and out of therapy for over 15 years with many different specialists. I have found Gary to be the best.
Gary has been a tremendous help to me over the past year. I am so thankful I signed up for BetterHelp and was matched with him. His gentle demeneaor and occasional jokes made it very easy to open up to him. He has helped me think in a more calm manner, gave me tools to use for problems, taught me how to de-escalate, and more. My family and I have seen the progress I’ve been able to make over the past year and are so thankful for Gary’s guidance. Gary has been a great therapist and I am excited to continue my therapy journey with him.
I’ve never had a therapist that doesn’t drill me with questions. I’m grateful that Gary listens and shares life experiences with me. I feel validated and understood in the things I’m experiencing and I’m grateful that I don’t feel like I’m being judged for how I handle situations. Gary is extremely friendly and insightful!
Gary is a great therapist who listens and gives solid feedback. It’s easy to talk to Gary. 10/10
Gary is Friendly,Respectful & A Great Listener.
Gary's combination of expertise and upbeat approach works wonders and has been tremendously helpful. I highly recommend his services!
Gary has been a true blessing in my life. Not only does his personal background greatly align with the troubles that caused me to seek out therapy but we also share similar interests and have a genuine connection which is extremely important for me when it comes to choosing a therapist. Gary is an absolute 10 out of 10 wonderful human being and I'm greatful to know him.
Gary has help me sort out my life in more ways than one. He’s reconnected me with my spirituality and has bettered my view of myself and my life. He’s a great listeners but also knows the right times to step in, but never over steps. He’s an amazing person healing amazing people and I couldn’t recommend him more.
Gary listens, is respectful, and has given me good advice. I feel he has given me structure to apply to my daily life. I have been very pleased with Gary as a therapist and would ask for him in the future if necessary.
It’s been always so difficult for me to open up and talk about my struggles and call for help. Mr. Newton helped me through my darkest days, and without his help. It would have ended differently. Thank you Mr. Newton for everything you’ve done and still doing.
So far, so great! Getting myself in a better direction with the help of anger management for my episodes.
Gary truly listens, and his counsel comes from a place that seeks to help you work through the things that are troubling you. He has and continues to do that from a completely non judgmental place. He has been invaluable in helping me understand myself and to work through my issues. I am thankful for him.
Gary is a very kind and considerate therapist who've I've been able to relate to greatly. Im so thankful for his help!
Gary is very knowledgeable, direct, and effective with his approach; a great combination in my book! I highly recommend him for all matters related to anxiety.
Very respectable, reasonable, and seems very educated in his fields of study
Gary has truly been phenomenal and I am glad to have met him.
