Depression care close to Rochester
Rochester is the Lilac City, with a historic downtown, growing neighborhoods and East Rochester and Gonic villages. We see manufacturing employees, retail and healthcare staff, and commuters on the Spaulding Turnpike and their families when low mood starts to affect work and home life. New Hampshire's short winter days can make seasonal patterns more noticeable for some people.
Care for the Rochester community
Rochester residents often have long working days in manufacturing, healthcare and retail, and the drive to Salem takes about an hour. For that reason we set up most Rochester care around secure video visits, keeping in-person appointments for the times they genuinely add something, such as some first evaluations.
Seasonal and postpartum patterns
Some people notice depression mainly in the darker months, and new parents can develop depression after a baby arrives. Both patterns are recognized and treatable.
Getting care from Rochester
Our office is in Salem, about an hour from Rochester, so most Rochester patients see us by secure video from home. When an in-person visit is needed, we plan it so the trip is worthwhile.
