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 Dover residents
Some Dover 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. Dover sits close to the Maine line, and some residents work across the border.
Care for the Dover community
Dover's mix of historic mill buildings, a growing downtown and family neighborhoods attracts people who work across the Seacoast. Many residents commute to Portsmouth or toward Boston, and some work in Maine. Video visits are a natural fit, as long as the visit happens while you are in New Hampshire.
How care begins
The evaluation focuses on current symptoms, and you decide how much of the event to share. Your psychiatrist also screens for depression, substance use and sleep problems that often come with PTSD.
Getting care from Dover
From Dover, our Salem office is about 50 minutes to an hour by car. Many Dover patients choose secure video for most visits and come to Salem when an in-person appointment adds something.
Frequently asked questions
Can PTSD be treated years later?
Yes.
What if I feel unsafe?
Call 911 or call or text 988 at any time.
Is telehealth an option?
Yes. Many patients find it easier to start from a familiar, private space.
Can I have a video visit while I am in Maine?
No. Our psychiatrists are licensed in New Hampshire, so you must be physically in New Hampshire during a video visit.
