OCD care for Amherst residents
OCD often hides behind long routines, repeated checking or reassurance-seeking that eats up the day. We see children and teens from Souhegan High School as well as adults, and we work alongside ERP therapists so medication and therapy support each other.
Living in Amherst
Amherst centers on a historic village green surrounded by quiet neighborhoods, Baboosic Lake and wooded back roads. Teens attend Souhegan High School, and many adults commute to Nashua, Manchester or Milford along Route 101A and Route 101.
Measuring progress
Your psychiatrist uses a standard OCD rating scale to track change over time and adjusts treatment if improvement stalls.
