A comfortable visit

Autism support for Portsmouth families
Families with children at Portsmouth High School and Portsmouth Middle School often ask us for help with anxiety, focus, sleep or school planning. A first visit by video from home can be easier for autistic children and adults who find new places tiring.
Care for the Portsmouth community
Portsmouth brings together a busy downtown, the Pease Tradeport and a large military and shipyard community. Many residents work irregular hours in hospitality or healthcare, and some cross the bridge into Maine for work. Video visits are popular, provided you are in New Hampshire at the time of the appointment.
School planning
With permission, we provide clinical information to support IEP or 504 planning.
Getting care from Portsmouth
From Portsmouth, our Salem office is about 45 to 55 minutes by car. Many Portsmouth patients choose secure video for most visits and come to Salem when an in-person appointment adds something.
