Who We See in Rochester
Rochester has a long manufacturing history that continues today in aerospace composites and other plants, and many of our patients here work fixed or rotating shifts. Others commute down the Spaulding Turnpike to jobs in Dover and Portsmouth. Anxiety, depression, sleep problems and work stress are the most common reasons they book.
We also see families who moved to Rochester for more affordable housing than the coast, healthcare and school staff, and residents in the smaller towns to the north, where the nearest psychiatrist can be a long drive. Because Maine is just across the Salmon Falls River, note that visits must take place while you’re in New Hampshire.

- Anxiety and panic attacks
- Depression, including postpartum depression
- PTSD and trauma and OCD
