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.

Supporting Northwood students and families
Families with children at Northwood School and Coe-Brown Northwood 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 Northwood
Northwood is a lake town along Route 4, with residents commuting toward Concord, Dover or Manchester. High school students often attend Coe-Brown Northwood Academy. The drive to Salem is close to an hour, so video visits are common.
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 Northwood
From Northwood, our Salem office is about 55 minutes by car. Many Northwood patients choose secure video for most visits and come to Salem when an in-person appointment adds something.
