Founder · Psychotherapist · Clinical Supervisor
Ricardo Triani, LCMHC, LMHC
I’m a psychotherapist, clinical supervisor, and founder of Shepherd’s Heart Counseling. I believe counseling should be genuine, comfortable, and collaborative, a place where you can feel understood and work toward meaningful change.
As a U.S. Air Force veteran, I bring experience in hospice and bereavement counseling, pastoral care, and trauma treatment. I work with adults, couples, and families, with a special commitment to veterans and first responders. My areas of focus include anxiety, depression, trauma, grief and loss, relationships, and life transitions.
My approach is compassionate, practical, and tailored to each person, incorporating evidence based therapies and specialized trauma treatment, including Accelerated Resolution Therapy.
As a Christian counselor, my faith shapes the compassion and hope I bring to my work. For those who desire it, Christian faith, Scripture, and prayer can be incorporated into counseling. People of all faiths and backgrounds are welcome.
I am licensed in New Hampshire and Massachusetts and provide counseling in English and Portuguese.
My goal is to meet you where you are and walk alongside you toward healing, growth, and renewed hope.

Graduate Clinician · LMHC/LADC Candidate
Stephen Savage
With a compassionate and supportive approach, I help adolescents, adults, veterans, and families navigate challenges related to anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, relationship concerns, and life transitions. As an Army veteran, husband, father, and Mental Health Counseling graduate student, I bring both professional training and real life experience to the counseling relationship.
I believe healing begins when individuals feel heard, understood, and valued. My approach draws from evidence based practices while recognizing the importance of each person’s unique story, strengths, experiences, and goals. I strive to meet clients where they are and work collaboratively with them as they move toward greater understanding, healing, and personal growth.
As a Christian therapist, I view faith as a meaningful source of strength, purpose, and encouragement in the healing process. When clients choose to include their faith in counseling, I welcome the opportunity to explore biblical principles and spiritual perspectives alongside their emotional and relational goals.
My goal is to provide a safe and encouraging environment where we can work together to build resilience, develop healthy coping skills, strengthen relationships, and create meaningful, lasting change.
