How long it takes
Plan for 60 to 90 minutes for the first visit. You may be asked to complete short questionnaires beforehand, which helps the psychiatrist use the appointment well. Follow-up visits are shorter.

Who books an evaluation in Claremont
Claremont is a city on the Sugar River near the Connecticut River and the Vermont line. Parents of students at Stevens High School and Claremont Middle School often call after a teacher or pediatrician raises a concern, and manufacturing, healthcare and retail workers often reach out when stress has turned into symptoms that do not go away.
Care for the Claremont community
Claremont residents often have limited local access to psychiatry. Our secure video visits help close that gap, and in-person visits in Salem can be arranged when needed. Patients who work across the river in Vermont should schedule video visits while they are in New Hampshire.
What the psychiatrist will ask about
- The concerns that brought you in and when they started
- Physical health, current medicines and supplements
- Previous diagnoses, therapy and medication trials
- Family history of mental health conditions
- Sleep, alcohol, cannabis and other substance use
- School, work, relationships and daily routines
- Safety, asked calmly and without judgment
Getting care from Claremont
Our office is in Salem, about an hour and 45 minutes from Claremont, so most Claremont patients see us by secure video from home. When an in-person visit is needed, we plan it so the trip is worthwhile.
