Patient FAQs

Dynamic Mental Health of New England provides comprehensive psychiatric evaluations and medication management using a holistic, patient-centered approach for children, adolescents, and adults. During medication management visits, brief supportive counseling may be provided when clinically appropriate. We do not offer full-length psychotherapy sessions.

We provide care for children, adolescents, and adults ages 7 through 70. We work with individuals experiencing a wide range of mental health concerns, including anxiety, depression, ADHD, mood disorders, and other psychiatric conditions.

Our primary focus is medication management. Some supportive counseling may be included as part of a medication management follow-up visit when clinically indicated, but we do not provide ongoing weekly psychotherapy. We are happy to collaborate with your therapist or provide referrals if you are seeking regular therapy.
