Hi folks new to the board. I am looking for a therapist in New Hampshire. My wife and I have been married for ten years and together as a couple for twenty. For the last year to 18 months we have been having problems. Me with deep depression, and anger problems, plus my wife withholding sex for over a year, which brought on some of the anger. So I’m being because she needs the space and is feels she is afraid of me. She does want to work on the marriage and go back to counseling but I don’t want to go back to our old therapist. She is totally a perfect example of what the doc describes in his book. So I would like to find someone who has our needs at heart. Any ideas or recommendations.

Tough times in NH.
Thanks
