If anxiety is making work, school, relationships or sleep harder, you do not have to simply push through it. Our clinicians offer psychiatric assessment and treatment for the full range of anxiety conditions.
Psych Boston provides anxiety treatment for patients in Belmont, Massachusetts, from our office in Lexington and through secure telehealth. Belmont is a close-knit town with highly engaged schools, and parents here frequently ask about adolescent care and coordination with school teams.
Anxiety treatment for Belmont patients: who it helps
People from Belmont come to us for anxiety treatment for many reasons, including:
- Generalized anxiety disorder — constant, hard-to-control worry
- Panic disorder and panic attacks
- Social anxiety and performance anxiety
- Specific phobias and health anxiety
- Anxiety alongside depression, ADHD or insomnia
- Children and teens with school-related or separation anxiety
What to expect
- Assessment: We clarify the type of anxiety, triggers, physical symptoms and any medical factors such as thyroid problems, caffeine or medications.
- Treatment plan: Plans often combine therapy approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) — through a referral if needed — with medication when appropriate.
- Medication options: When medication is used, clinicians typically start with long-term options such as SSRIs or SNRIs and use short-term medications cautiously.
- Follow-up: Regular check-ins track progress, side effects and skills you are building, adjusting the plan as needed.

Frequently asked questions about anxiety treatment in Belmont
Can I get anxiety treatment by telehealth from Belmont?
In many cases, yes. Belmont 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.
Is anxiety treated with medication or therapy?
Often both. Therapy such as CBT is highly effective, and medication can help when symptoms are moderate to severe or therapy alone is not enough. Your clinician will discuss what fits you.
How quickly does anxiety treatment work?
Many people notice improvement within several weeks, though medications like SSRIs can take 4–8 weeks for full effect.
Do you treat panic attacks?
Yes. Panic disorder is very treatable with a combination of skills-based therapy and, when appropriate, medication.
Which Belmont neighborhoods do you serve?
We see patients from all parts of Belmont, including Belmont Center, Waverley Square, Cushing Square, Belmont Hill and Payson Park, as well as surrounding Middlesex County communities.
Is this an emergency service?
No. If you or someone you know is in crisis, call or text 988 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline) or call 911, or go to the nearest emergency department.
