Frequently asked questions about adult psychiatry in Brookline
Can I get adult psychiatry by telehealth from Brookline?
In many cases, yes. Brookline 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.
