I’m Heather Ryder, LCMHC, MLADC and I provide fully virtual counseling and court-ordered LADC assessments to individuals throughout New Hampshire. With experience across detox, residential, and outpatient care settings, I understand addiction from both clinical and practical perspectives. My approach recognizes how substance use often intersects with stress, trauma, mental health challenges, and major life transitions. I believe that reaching out for help—especially when court-involved—shouldn’t feel overwhelming or intimidating.

My practice is built on a foundation of structured, objective support combined with compassion and nonjudgment. I emphasize both accountability and dignity, understanding that addiction is rarely simple and can affect careers, families, relationships, and self-worth. As a virtual-only provider, I offer accessible, confidential, and convenient services delivered in accordance with administrative rules, ethical standards, and evidence-based practices. Whether you’re seeking services voluntarily or fulfilling a legal requirement, I’m here to provide professional, straightforward support every step of the way.
