Conditions we commonly manage
Depression, anxiety disorders, ADHD, bipolar disorder, OCD, PTSD, insomnia related to mental health conditions, and psychotic disorders. Medication is one part of a plan; we will discuss therapy and lifestyle factors too.
Transferring care to us
If you already take psychiatric medication and your prescriber has retired, moved or left your network, we can review your history and take over management after an evaluation. Please bring your current prescription list and any recent records so there is no gap in treatment.
Visits from Nashua
Our office is at 215 South Broadway in Salem, NH, about a 30-minute drive east of Nashua. Many Nashua patients also use secure telehealth visits from home, so you do not have to choose between the care you need and the time you have. Follow-up medication visits are often a good fit for telehealth.
Frequently asked questions
How often are follow-up visits?
Usually every 2 to 6 weeks when starting or changing a medication, then less often once you are stable. Your psychiatrist sets the schedule with you.
How do I request a refill?
Contact the office before you run low. Some medications, including controlled substances, require a current visit before they can be refilled.
Do you prescribe controlled medications?
When clinically appropriate and permitted by law, yes. Controlled medications require an evaluation, regular follow-up and adherence to state monitoring rules.
Can I stop my medication if I feel better?
Please talk to your psychiatrist first. Stopping some medications suddenly can cause withdrawal effects or relapse; a planned taper is safer.
