Anxiety treatment for Waltham patients: who it helps
People from Waltham 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 Waltham
Which Waltham neighborhoods do you serve?
We see patients from all parts of Waltham, including Downtown Waltham and Moody Street, the Waltham Highlands, Piety Corner, Warrendale and the South Side, as well as surrounding Middlesex County communities.
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.
Do you have an office in Waltham?
Our office is in Lexington at 35 Bedford Street. Waltham patients can drive up Waltham Street directly into Lexington Center in about 15 minutes, or take Route 128 north. Many Waltham patients also use secure telehealth, which is available to patients located in Massachusetts at the time of the visit when clinically appropriate.
