Trauma care for Portsmouth residents
Some Portsmouth patients prefer to begin trauma care by secure video from a familiar, private space. Service members, veterans, shipyard workers and their families are welcome. Pease Air National Guard Base and the nearby Portsmouth Naval Shipyard are part of daily life for many local families.

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.
Care for the Portsmouth community
Portsmouth brings together a busy downtown, the Pease Tradeport and a large military and shipyard community. Many residents work irregular hours in hospitality or healthcare, and some cross the bridge into Maine for work. Video visits are popular, provided you are in New Hampshire at the time of the appointment.
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.
Getting care from Portsmouth
From Portsmouth, our Salem office is about 45 to 55 minutes by car. Many Portsmouth patients choose secure video for most visits and come to Salem when an in-person appointment adds something.
Frequently asked questions
Is medication enough on its own?
Medication helps many symptoms, but trauma-focused therapy is usually the core treatment.
Do you work with the VA?
With your permission we can coordinate with your VA team.
Do I have to describe what happened?
No. You decide what to share and when.
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.
