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 Kingston residents
For commuters heading to Massachusetts, Exeter and the Seacoast along Route 125, anxiety often looks like a racing mind at night, tension before work or school, or avoiding things that used to feel easy. Students at Sanborn Regional High School and their parents are welcome, and video visits make it easier to start when leaving home feels hard.
Living in Kingston
Kingston is a lake town built around Great Pond, Country Pond and Kingston State Park, with a historic town green along Route 125. Teens attend Sanborn Regional High School with Newton, and many residents commute into Massachusetts or toward Exeter and the Seacoast.
