Supporting Concord students and families
Families with children at Concord High School and Rundlett Middle 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. Older teens heading to NHTI, Concord's Community College or elsewhere can continue with us while they are in New Hampshire.
Living in Concord
As the state capital, Concord has a large share of people working in government, healthcare and professional offices, many with fixed schedules and limited leave. Families in Penacook, the Heights and the South End often prefer short video follow-ups at lunchtime or after school, with an occasional drive down I-93 when an in-person visit is useful.
How the evaluation works
Parents share the history first. The psychiatrist then spends time with the child, using conversation or play for younger children and private time for teens. With your permission we gather input from teachers, counselors and the pediatrician.
Getting care from Concord
From Concord, our Salem office is about 50 minutes south on I-93 by car. Many Concord patients choose secure video for most visits and come to Salem when an in-person appointment adds something.
