Dean Pratt, Therapy Clinician

Dean Pratt helps adults move through anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions with care that is both clinically grounded and genuinely human. He provides individual therapy through LifeStance Health and serves adults and seniors across New Hampshire, offering a supportive space for people who want practical tools, emotional steadiness, and a clear sense of direction. A core area of Dean’s passion is supporting individuals who have been recently discharged from a psychiatric hospital. He understands how overwhelming this transition can feel and focuses on helping clients regain stability, rebuild confidence, and reduce the risk of relapse. His work emphasizes continuity of care, coping strategies for daily life, and collaborative goal setting to support long-term mental health and independence. Dean’s primary specialties include anxiety disorders, depression, and trauma-related concerns, and he also has experience with additional mental health conditions and life stressors. He commonly works with adults from the Autism spectrum, those with ADHD or OCD, members of the LGBTQ+ community, and military service members and veterans, while also supporting a wide range of other individuals seeking therapy. His therapeutic approach may include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and mindfulness-based interventions, with additional evidence-based methods incorporated as appropriate. Clients often appreciate Dean’s steady, affirming presence and his ability to integrate emotional, practical, and values-based work. Outside of clinical practice, he enjoys leading groups, giving educational presentations on mental health topics, singing in a choir, swimming, hiking, and kayaking.
