Getting treated for anxiety & panic attacks in New Hampshire
Even in a state with New Hampshire's population, getting seen for anxiety & panic attacks can take months — capacity is concentrated in a handful of areas and demand consistently outruns it. A video appointment sidesteps the queue.
For people whose panic attacks are tied to driving, traffic or being away from home, requiring a trip to a clinic is asking them to do the hardest thing first. Being seen from your own home in New Hampshire removes that barrier entirely.
New Hampshire's northern counties are considerably less well served than its southern tier, with long waits for psychiatric care common.
We see patients across New Hampshire — Manchester, Nashua, Concord, Dover, Rochester and Keene among them, along with every community in between. Whether you are in Manchester, Keene, or a town between them, the appointment is the same and there is nothing to drive to.

A panic attack is not a heart attack, and knowing that helps
Panic attacks produce genuinely physical symptoms — racing heart, chest pressure, shortness of breath, tingling, a sense of unreality. Many people end up in an emergency room the first time, which is a reasonable thing to do.
Once cardiac causes are ruled out, panic is highly treatable. The fear of the next attack is often more limiting than the attacks themselves, and that is specifically what treatment targets.
What treatment can involve
- Evaluation that rules out medical causes — thyroid, cardiac, medication side effects and caffeine all matter
- Cognitive and behavioral techniques that work directly on the panic cycle
- Medication where appropriate, with a clear conversation about benefits and dependency risk
- Treating co-occurring depression, ADHD or trauma, which frequently sit underneath anxiety
- Sleep, which both worsens anxiety and is worsened by it
