John Lazott

“When I treat a patient I utilize two different forms of
medicine to not only treat the condition that they were told
would never go away, I am able to treat the person as a whole. A
person may come in for a chronic pain condition and leave with
that fixed as well as they no longer suffer from headaches. That
is the part that I really enjoy.”

Mental Health Counseling
Susan MacDermott, MA, LCMHC
 Susan
MacDermott is a licensed mental health counselor who provides
interactive solution-focused therapy to adult individuals and
couples.
Susan received her undergraduate degree in Psychology from
the University of New Hampshire and graduated from Boston
College with a Master's Degree in Counseling. Over the
last 12 years Susan has worked in a variety of mental health
settings.
Some of Susan's areas of interest include family of origin
issues, sexual abuse, grief/loss, and life transitions.
Much of Susan's practice is helping clients reduce symptoms of
stress, anxiety and depression. Susan works
collaboratively with many of the psychiatrists and psychiatric
nurse practitioners in the area in order to better serve clients
who might also need the benefit of medication.
As a couples counselor Susan will help couples develop better
communication skills in order to create a greater sense of
closeness and intimacy and overall relationship satisfaction.
Susan has extensive experience working with perpetrators of
domestic violence and enjoys working with men who struggle with
anger issues. Although much of this work is designed to decrease
negative behavior and increase positive communication skills for
men, the support of women is a large part of this work.
Susan describes the process of therapy much like taking a
course, encouraging clients to come prepared to discuss issues,
identify positive changes, and practice those new skills between
sessions. With each returning session clients report on
what changes they were able to make and how those changes were
helpful or not. For each individual the process of therapy
is unique and therefore may take just a few sessions or may take
many sessions. Susan feels it is important for clients to
remain in therapy as long as they feel it is helpful and that
the termination of therapy is up to the client. "It is my
goal to have clients think of their relationship with me much
like anyone else they have in their life that provides them a
service." "I want clients to come and see me for support
when they need to, end when support is no longer necessary, and
return as new life transitions arise."

Diane Rondeau, LMT
 Diane
Rondeau believes that the deeply personal nature of therapeutic
massage requires her to provide treatment in a relaxed, safe and
caring environment. Her goal is to provide the appropriate
treatment for each person individually: working to set and
achieve goals important to you and considering the mind/body
connection. Diane utilizes a combination of Swedish and Reiki
modalities (techniques), sometimes enhanced by hot stones, to
achieve deep tissue relief with the least amount of discomfort
possible whether you seek relief from mental, emotional or
physical stresses.
Due to the holistic nature of her practice,
Diane chooses continuing education that focuses on honing her
assessment and treatment skills towards helping clients achieve
optimal tension relief and overall wellness. While all massage
treatments are therapeutic to some degree, a clinical approach
which incorporates assessment, treatment plan and achieving
goals helps you identify sources of your muscular problems,
educates you on self-care to enhance the release achieved in
treatment.
Diane provides corporate clients with on-site
massage treatments. These brief treatments (15 to 30 minutes)
reduce the effects of job stresses (physical and mental) on the
body. Employees report a better ability to focus on their jobs
after treatment. Research shows that wellness programs enhance
employee morale, improve attendance records, decrease on-the-job
injuries and generally reduce related costs.
Diane completed intense muscular therapy
training at Seacoast Career Schools in Manchester, NH in
November 2008. At that time, Diane provided treatment to clients
in the school clinic and in private massage practice sessions
and at multiple athletic events, including the Boston Marathon
and MS Bike-A-Thon.
In her spare time she enjoys time with her
husband and two children. Diane enjoys hiking, biking and
running road races. She set personal records recently running in
the Manchester City Half-Marathon 2008 and Disney World Half
Marathon 2008. See more about Therapy Designed For You at www.Massage-ETC.com.
