Psych Boston · Serving Waltham & Middlesex County
Adult Psychiatrist in Waltham, 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 Waltham, Massachusetts, from our office in Lexington and through secure telehealth. Waltham's mix of university students, young professionals and long-time families means we see a wide range of ages and scheduling needs from the city.
Adult psychiatry for Waltham patients: who it helps
People from Waltham come to us for adult psychiatry for many reasons, including:

What to expect

- 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.
