Children after trauma
Children may show trauma through clinginess, play, sleep problems or behavior changes. Our child and adolescent psychiatrists work with families to support recovery.

Trauma care for Durham residents
Some Durham 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. Students who split the year between home and campus need to plan visits for times when they are in New Hampshire.
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.
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 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.
Frequently asked questions
Do I have to describe what happened?
No. You decide what to share and when.

Is medication enough on its own?
Medication helps many symptoms, but trauma-focused therapy is usually the core treatment.
