Psychosis care for Laconia families
Families in Laconia 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 Lakes Region Community College. When a higher level of care is needed, we help coordinate with services such as Lakes Region Mental Health Center.

Outpatient treatment
Care includes a full evaluation for medical and substance-related causes, antipsychotic medication chosen with the patient, regular checks of weight, blood sugar and cholesterol, and family involvement with consent.
Care for the Laconia community
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.
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 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
