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 Merrimack residents
Some Merrimack 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.
Care for the Merrimack community
Merrimack has a strong commuter and corporate population, and many patients come to us during demanding periods at work or when children start to struggle at school. Because the drive to Salem is around 35 to 40 minutes, many Merrimack patients pair one in-person visit with regular video follow-ups.
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 Merrimack
From Merrimack, our Salem office is about 35 to 40 minutes by car. Many Merrimack patients choose secure video for most visits and come to Salem when an in-person appointment adds something.
