Who We See in Laconia
Laconia’s year is shaped by the seasons. Summers bring tourists, Motorcycle Week and long hours in hospitality, marinas and retail; winters bring quiet, cold and fewer jobs. Many of our patients work in those seasonal industries, and the swing from overwork to isolation is a common source of stress, low mood and sleep problems.
We also see healthcare and school staff, retirees who moved to the lake full time, and families in Belknap County’s small towns. Plymouth State students and people commuting to Concord often book too. Short video visits from home mean no winter driving for a 20-minute follow-up.
What We Treat
Visits cover psychiatric evaluation, diagnosis and medication management for adults. Common reasons people book:
- Anxiety and panic attacks
- Depression, including postpartum depression
- PTSD and trauma and OCD
- Bipolar disorder and insomnia
