Many Newton patients also use secure telehealth, which is available to patients located in Massachusetts at the time of the visit when clinically appropriate.
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.

Early in treatment, visits are often every few weeks. Once things are stable, many adults are seen every one to three months.

In many cases, yes. Newton 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.
