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 Windham residents
For commuters to Boston, Burlington and Salem, 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. Many Windham parents commute long hours down I-93, which leaves little time for appointments.
Living in Windham
Windham sits right next to Salem, so our office is only a short drive away. Many Windham families have parents commuting down I-93 and children moving through Golden Brook, Windham Middle School and Windham High School, and they value appointments that fit around school and work.
When worry becomes a disorder
Anxiety becomes a disorder when it is out of proportion to the situation, lasts for months and interferes with work, school, relationships or sleep. Physical symptoms such as muscle tension, stomach upset and fatigue are common.
Getting care from Windham
Our office at 215 South Broadway in Salem is about 10 to 15 minutes from Windham, so in-person visits are practical. Many Windham patients come in for the first appointment and use secure video for follow-ups.
