Teenagers
Teens are seen with respect for their growing independence. We explain confidentiality and its limits at the start, so both the teen and parents know what will be shared.

Supporting Exeter students and families
Families with children at Exeter High School and Cooperative 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.
Living in Exeter
Exeter is a historic town with a busy downtown, a well-known academy and many residents who commute to Portsmouth or Boston. Families often reach out about teen stress and attention, and adults about anxiety and sleep. The drive to Salem is about 35 to 40 minutes.
Signs a child may need an evaluation
- Attention or behavior problems that teachers keep raising
- Worry, stomachaches or refusing to go to school
- Sadness, irritability or withdrawal lasting several weeks
- Frequent meltdowns or aggression
- Big changes in sleep, eating or grades
- Social difficulties or very rigid routines

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 Exeter?
Our office is in Salem. Exeter patients use secure video visits or come to Salem in person.
