Living in Amherst
Amherst's historic village and rural neighborhoods are home to many families who commute to Nashua, Manchester or Massachusetts. Parents often ask about anxiety, attention and pressure at school, and adults look for care that fits around work.
Family-centered treatment
Plans may include parent guidance, therapy referral, school recommendations and, only when likely to help, medication with careful monitoring of growth, sleep and appetite.
Getting care from Amherst
From Amherst, our Salem office is about 45 minutes by car. Many Amherst patients choose secure video for most visits and come to Salem when an in-person appointment adds something.
Frequently asked questions
How should I explain the visit to my child?
Keep it simple: a doctor who helps with feelings, worries or focus wants to get to know them.
Do you provide therapy for children?
We focus on evaluation and medication and help connect families with child therapists.
Will my child need medication?
Not automatically. It is considered only when it is likely to help.
Is there a PsychNashua office in Amherst?
Our office is in Salem. Amherst patients use secure video visits or come to Salem in person.
