Treatment
Trauma-focused therapies such as cognitive processing therapy, prolonged exposure or EMDR are core treatments, and we help connect you to trained therapists. Medication can ease anxiety, low mood and sleep problems, and some medications target trauma-related nightmares.

Trauma care for Derry residents
Some Derry patients prefer to begin trauma care by secure video from a familiar, private space. We see veterans, first responders, healthcare workers and others whose jobs expose them to stressful events. Pinkerton Academy draws students from Derry and several surrounding towns, and the move there is a big step for many teens.
Care for the Derry community
Derry families range from long-time residents near the town center to young households in newer neighborhoods off Route 102. Many parents commute to Manchester or Massachusetts, and teenagers face the change to Pinkerton Academy's large campus. Being about 20 minutes from our office makes in-person visits realistic, while telehealth covers the busy weeks.
Veterans and first responders
We see veterans, police officers, firefighters, EMS and healthcare workers. If you also receive VA care, we can coordinate with your team with your permission.
