Psychosis care for Durham families
Families in Durham often contact us after noticing gradual changes in a son, daughter or partner. Psychosis often first appears in the late teens or twenties, including among students at the University of New Hampshire. When a higher level of care is needed, we help coordinate with services such as Community Partners.

When more support is needed
When someone needs more intensive or specialized care, such as a first-episode psychosis program, we help with referral and coordination.
Care for the Durham community
Durham is shaped by the University of New Hampshire, with faculty, staff and students alongside long-time residents. Students should remember that video visits must take place while they are physically in New Hampshire, which matters during breaks at home in another state.
Substances and psychosis
Cannabis, stimulants and other drugs can trigger or worsen psychosis. We screen for substance use and help patients reduce risks.
Getting care from Durham
From Durham, our Salem office is about 50 minutes by car. Many Durham patients choose secure video for most visits and come to Salem when an in-person appointment adds something.
