Anxiety care for Rochester residents
For manufacturing employees, retail and healthcare staff, and commuters on the Spaulding Turnpike, 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. Because Rochester is about an hour from our office, most visits after the first can be by secure video.

Ruling out medical causes
Thyroid problems, high caffeine intake, some medications and other medical issues can cause anxiety-like symptoms, so your psychiatrist asks about physical health and may suggest lab tests.
Living in Rochester
Rochester residents often have long working days in manufacturing, healthcare and retail, and the drive to Salem takes about an hour. For that reason we set up most Rochester care around secure video visits, keeping in-person appointments for the times they genuinely add something, such as some first evaluations.
