Supporting Manchester students
Families with students in the Manchester School District, from elementary schools through Central, Memorial, West High and the Manchester School of Technology come to us when a child's struggles start to affect learning or friendships. With your consent we can share clinical information to support a 504 plan or IEP and suggest practical strategies for the classroom.
Manchester is a diverse city, and families come to us with different languages, cultures and expectations about mental health. We take time to understand each family's perspective and goals.

How we work with children and teens
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, and we build a plan that works at home and at school.
Treatment for children
Plans are family-centered. They may include parent guidance, therapy referral, school recommendations and, only when likely to help, medication with careful monitoring and regular check-ins on growth, sleep and appetite.
Getting to us from Manchester
Manchester patients can reach our Salem office in about 30 to 35 minutes on I-93 South. Telehealth visits are available for Manchester residents throughout the city when they are in New Hampshire.
