Supporting Dover students and families
Families with children at Dover High School and Dover 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.

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.
Living in Dover
Dover's mix of historic mill buildings, a growing downtown and family neighborhoods attracts people who work across the Seacoast. Many residents commute to Portsmouth or toward Boston, and some work in Maine. Video visits are a natural fit, as long as the visit happens while you are in New Hampshire.
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 Dover
From Dover, our Salem office is about 50 minutes to an hour by car. Many Dover patients choose secure video for most visits and come to Salem when an in-person appointment adds something.
Frequently asked questions
What ages do you see?
Children from age 4 and teens through 17, continuing into adulthood.
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.
Can I have a video visit while I am in Maine?
No. Our psychiatrists are licensed in New Hampshire, so you must be physically in New Hampshire during a video visit.
