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 Hampstead students and families
Families with children at Hampstead Middle School and Pinkerton Academy 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 Hampstead
Hampstead is a residential town of ponds and wooded neighborhoods, with high school students heading to Pinkerton Academy in Derry. Families often reach out during that transition, and the Salem office is a short drive away.
What the first visit looks like
- Parents describe the history and current concerns.
- The psychiatrist spends time with the child, through talk or play.
- Teens are offered private time.
- With consent, school and pediatric input is reviewed.
- The family hears the findings and options.
Getting care from Hampstead
Our office at 215 South Broadway in Salem is about 20 to 25 minutes from Hampstead, so in-person visits are practical. Many Hampstead patients come in for the first appointment and use secure video for follow-ups.
Frequently asked questions
Can both parents attend?
Yes, both parents are welcome.
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.
Is there a PsychNashua office in Hampstead?
