Psych Boston · Serving Bedford & Middlesex County
Adult Psychiatrist in Bedford, MA
Whether this is your first time seeking psychiatric care or you are looking for a new psychiatrist after a move or a change in insurance, adult psychiatry starts with a careful evaluation and continues with steady, unhurried follow-up.
Psych Boston provides adult psychiatry for patients in Bedford, Massachusetts, from our office in Lexington and through secure telehealth. Bedford is a close neighbor with many residents working at Hanscom, local technology firms and nearby hospitals, which makes short in-person visits easy to fit in.

Frequently asked questions about adult psychiatry in Bedford
Can I get adult psychiatry by telehealth from Bedford?
In many cases, yes. Bedford residents can often complete visits by secure video from home or work in Massachusetts. Your clinician may recommend an in-office visit in Lexington when that would be more helpful.
Do I need a referral to see an adult psychiatrist?
Many patients can book directly. Some insurance plans require a referral, so our office can help you check your coverage.
Is a psychiatrist different from a therapist?
Yes. A psychiatrist is a medical doctor or psychiatric clinician who can diagnose conditions and prescribe medication. Many patients see both a psychiatrist and a therapist.
How often are follow-up visits?
Early in treatment, visits are often every few weeks. Once things are stable, many adults are seen every one to three months.
