Building the plan together
Treatment is planned with parents. It may include parenting strategies, therapy, school recommendations and, when it is likely to help, medication with careful monitoring.

Supporting Atkinson students and families
Families with children at Atkinson Academy and Timberlane Regional High School come to us when struggles start to affect learning, friendships or home life. With your consent we can share clinical information for a 504 plan or IEP meeting.
Living in Atkinson
Atkinson is a small residential town on the Massachusetts line, just a short drive from our Salem office. Many residents work in Massachusetts, so in-person visits in Salem or video visits from home in New Hampshire are both common.
Respecting teenagers
We explain what stays private and what must be shared with parents, so teens feel safe to speak openly and parents know where they stand.
Getting care from Atkinson
Our office at 215 South Broadway in Salem is about 15 to 20 minutes from Atkinson, so in-person visits are practical. Many Atkinson patients come in for the first appointment and use secure video for follow-ups.
Frequently asked questions
Do you provide therapy for children?
We focus on evaluation and medication and help connect families with child therapists.
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.
Does a parent need to attend?
Yes, a parent or legal guardian must take part for patients under 18.
Can I have a video visit while I am in Massachusetts?
No. Our psychiatrists are licensed in New Hampshire, so you must be physically in New Hampshire during a video visit.
