Psych Boston · Serving Medford & Middlesex County
Adult Psychiatrist in Medford, MA
An adult psychiatrist is a medical specialist who diagnoses and treats conditions such as depression, anxiety, ADHD, bipolar disorder and trauma-related symptoms, and who can manage medication alongside therapy and lifestyle changes.
Psych Boston provides adult psychiatry for patients in Medford, Massachusetts, from our office in Lexington and through secure telehealth. Medford is home to Tufts University students as well as many long-time families, so we see everything from first-time college evaluations to ongoing adult care.
Adult psychiatry for Medford patients: who it helps
People from Medford come to us for adult psychiatry for many reasons, including:

- Adults who suspect ADHD that was never diagnosed in childhood
- People with bipolar disorder, OCD or trauma symptoms who need ongoing medication management

What to expect
- Comprehensive evaluation: Your first visit covers current symptoms, personal and family history, physical health, medications, substance use and what you want to change.
- Diagnosis and options: Your psychiatrist explains the diagnosis in plain language and walks through options, which may include therapy referrals, lifestyle steps and medication.
- Shared decision: You decide together on a plan, including the benefits, side effects and timelines of any medication.
- Ongoing follow-up: Follow-up visits, in person or by telehealth, track progress, adjust treatment and coordinate with your therapist or primary care provider.
