What a psychiatrist adds
Many autistic people already have therapists, teachers or support staff. A psychiatrist identifies co-occurring conditions, weighs whether medication could help specific symptoms, and checks for medical issues behind changes in behavior or sleep.

Autism support for Rochester families
Families with children at Spaulding High School and Rochester 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 Rochester community
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.
Autistic adults
We also see autistic adults, including those identified later in life, for anxiety, depression, burnout and sleep.
Getting care from Rochester
Our office is in Salem, about an hour from Rochester, so most Rochester patients see us by secure video from home. When an in-person visit is needed, we plan it so the trip is worthwhile.
