Portsmouth NH Therapist —
Couples Counseling
Compassionate telehealth counseling for Portsmouth-area adults whether you're working to repair and strengthen your relationship or navigating a mindful separation together. Licensed in NH & VT · Free 30-minute consultation.
Relationships worth
fighting for.
Portsmouth is one of New Hampshire's most dynamic communities — a seacoast city full of creative professionals, established families, and people living full, complex lives. And in the middle of all of that, relationships require attention, care, and sometimes outside support to stay healthy. Seeking couples counseling isn't a sign of failure — it's a sign that you care enough to try.
Aligned Associates PLLC offers telehealth couples counseling for Portsmouth-area residents via secure video — no commute, no waiting room, and flexible scheduling that works around busy Seacoast lives. Stephanie Kimber, MA, LCMHC, provides a neutral, structured space for both partners to be heard and to find a path forward that honors everyone involved.
Whether you're in a committed relationship, marriage, or navigating a complex separation, couples work is available to you — including individual therapy to complement or stand alone from the couples work.
Couples Counseling:
A space where both of you are heard.
Every relationship has seasons. Some are easy and others are genuinely hard — marked by communication breakdowns, unresolved conflict, distance, betrayal, or simply the accumulated weight of years of unaddressed tension. Couples counseling works best when both partners are willing to show up honestly — not perfectly, but openly.
Stephanie provides a neutral, structured environment where both voices get equal space. The work focuses on improving communication, understanding each other's needs and patterns, rebuilding trust where it has been damaged, and developing tools for navigating conflict without destroying connection in the process.
Couples counseling is also available for partners navigating a mindful separation — working together to co-parent well, divide fairly, and treat each other with dignity through the process of ending a relationship.
A free 30-minute consultation
is always the right place to start.
No commitment, no pressure. We'll talk about what brought you here and you'll have a chance to ask any questions. Portsmouth-area clients connect via secure video from wherever is most convenient.

New England's most
walkable seacoast city.
Portsmouth consistently ranks among the best small cities in New England — and it earns it. A stunning historic downtown, the Atlantic just minutes away, world-class arts, and excellent outdoor access make this one of NH's most enjoyable places to live and explore. Here are some local favorites.
NH's largest seacoast state park sits just minutes from Portsmouth — rocky shoreline, tidal pools, a nature center, and miles of coastal walking paths perfect for families and couples alike.
A 182-acre state-owned forest and environmental education center right in the city — quiet walking, snowshoeing, and cross-country skiing trails through pine forest, just minutes from downtown.
One of New England's finest regional theaters right in the heart of Portsmouth — year-round productions from Broadway classics to new works in an intimate, beloved downtown venue.
Portsmouth's beloved waterfront park on the Piscataqua River — beautifully maintained gardens, free summer arts festival performances, and a peaceful riverside setting ideal for strolls and picnics.
Take the scenic ferry from Portsmouth harbor to the historic Isles of Shoals — a unique half-day excursion with narrated history tours and stunning ocean views, departing from downtown.
An extraordinary outdoor history museum spanning 400 years of Portsmouth life — costumed interpreters, restored homes, and beautiful gardens make it a fascinating outing year-round.
