Anxiety Treatment in Burlington, MA
Everyone feels anxious sometimes, but when worry, panic or avoidance start shaping your days, anxiety has become something worth treating. Anxiety disorders are among the most common — and most treatable — mental health conditions.
Psych Boston provides anxiety treatment for patients in Burlington, Massachusetts, from our office in Lexington and through secure telehealth. Burlington sits at the heart of the Route 128 technology and healthcare corridor, so many patients prefer early-morning or lunchtime visits close to work.
Anxiety treatment for Burlington patients: who it helps
People from Burlington 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 Burlington
Do you have an office in Burlington?
Our office is in Lexington at 35 Bedford Street. Burlington patients are usually about 10 minutes from our Lexington office via Cambridge Street (Route 3A) or Route 128 to Bedford Street. Many Burlington patients also use secure telehealth, which is available to patients located in Massachusetts at the time of the visit when clinically appropriate.
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.
Can I get anxiety treatment by telehealth from Burlington?
In many cases, yes. Burlington 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 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.
