About the Author

Denise Lamothe is a New Hampshire Certified Psychologist and a Doctor of Holistic Health. She earned her Masters Degree in Counseling Psychology in 1981, and her Doctorate in Clinical Psychology in 1989, from Antioch/New England Graduate School in Keene, New Hampshire, and her Doctorate in Holistic Health in 1997 from The Clayton School of Natural Healing in Birmingham, Alabama. Dr. Lamothe has worked with a variety of populations over time including emotionally disturbed adolescents, children and adults. She spent several years working at The Stone Center at Wellesley College in Wellesley, Massachusetts providing counseling, consultation and education to the campus community. While working there with Jean Baker Miller, M.D. and colleagues, Dr. Lamothe studied Self-in-Relation Theory, a theory of women's development which originated at The Stone Center and greatly informs her work today. She completed her post doctoral training at Lake Shore Hospital in Manchester, New Hampshire as a Staff Psychologist on the Child and Adolescent unit and was instrumental in establishing a unit exclusively for women based on the Stone Center model.

Dr. Lamothe has taught for The N. H. Technical Institute, New England College and Antioch/New England graduate School and has provided consultation and education to a variety of agencies including Blue Cross/Blue Shield, Teradyne Corp., Oxford Health, N.H. Partners in Education, The Visiting Nurse's Association, Manchester City Library, Appletree Education, The Multiple Sclerosis Society, The Massachusetts Holistic Nursing Association and Notre Dame College. She is a member of the N.H. Psychological Association, The American Psychological Association, The Association for Women in Psychology and the American Naturopathic Medical Association.

Dr. Lamothe has been in private practice since 1981. She combines traditional and alternative methods to work "holistically" - that is, with each client's physical, emotional and spiritual needs. Special areas of expertise include eating disorders, life transitions, midlife and menopause, alternative lifestyles, anxiety, depression and stress. She has helped people with compulsive eating behaviors since she opened her practice and runs weekend retreats and workshops for people who struggle with this issue. Currently Dr. Lamothe resides in Epping, New Hampshire and is in private practice there.
