Psych Boston · Serving Quincy & Norfolk County
Adult Psychiatrist in Quincy, MA
Adults often wait years before seeing a psychiatrist, usually because work, family and daily responsibilities come first. Seeing an adult psychiatrist means getting a clear diagnosis and a practical plan that fits the life you already have.
Psych Boston provides adult psychiatry for patients in Quincy, Massachusetts, from our office in Lexington and through secure telehealth. Because the trip from the South Shore to Lexington can be long at rush hour, many Quincy patients rely mostly on telehealth, with office visits scheduled when an in-person assessment is clinically useful.
Adult psychiatry for Quincy patients: who it helps
People from Quincy come to us for adult psychiatry for many reasons, including:
- Adults with persistent low mood, worry or panic
- Working professionals dealing with burnout, poor sleep or concentration problems
- Adults who suspect ADHD that was never diagnosed in childhood
- People with bipolar disorder, OCD or trauma symptoms who need ongoing medication management
- Patients transferring care from another psychiatrist or from primary care
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.

Frequently asked questions about adult psychiatry in Quincy
Can I get adult psychiatry by telehealth from Quincy?
In many cases, yes. Quincy 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.
Which Quincy neighborhoods do you serve?
We see patients from all parts of Quincy, including Quincy Center, Wollaston, North Quincy, Squantum, Houghs Neck and Marina Bay, as well as surrounding Norfolk County communities.
