Many Watertown 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.
