A careful approach to sedatives
Benzodiazepines can calm acute anxiety but carry risks of dependence and are generally not a good long-term plan. If you already take one, we review it with you rather than stopping it suddenly.

Anxiety care for Derry residents
For commuters to Manchester, Salem and Boston, and staff at local healthcare and retail employers, anxiety often shows up as trouble switching off after work, tension before big days, or poor sleep. Telehealth makes it easier to start care when leaving home feels hard. Pinkerton Academy draws students from Derry and several surrounding towns, and the move there is a big step for many teens.
Living in Derry
Derry families range from long-time residents near the town center to young households in newer neighborhoods off Route 102. Many parents commute to Manchester or Massachusetts, and teenagers face the change to Pinkerton Academy's large campus. Being about 20 minutes from our office makes in-person visits realistic, while telehealth covers the busy weeks.
