For families
Families often get pulled into rituals or reassurance. We show parents and partners how to respond in ways that support recovery.
Living in Laconia
Laconia's year runs on two speeds: a crowded summer around the lakes and a much quieter winter. Seasonal work, changing routines and long dark months can affect sleep and mood. Most Laconia patients see us by secure video, which removes the long drive south.
Effective treatment
Exposure and response prevention (ERP), a specific form of CBT, is the leading therapy for OCD, and we help coordinate it with trained therapists. SSRIs are commonly used, often at higher doses than for depression, and take time to work.
Getting care from Laconia
Our office is in Salem, about an hour and 15 minutes from Laconia, so most Laconia patients see us by secure video from home. When an in-person visit is needed, we plan it so the trip is worthwhile.
Frequently asked questions
Do you treat children with OCD?
Yes, from age 4.
How long do OCD medications take?
Often 8 to 12 weeks at an effective dose.
Is OCD the same as anxiety?
They are related but distinct, and OCD has specific treatments.
Do I have to travel to Salem from Laconia?
Usually not for every visit. Most Laconia patients are seen by secure video, with an in-person visit in Salem only when needed.
