Psych Boston · Serving Dracut & Middlesex County
Child & Adolescent Psychiatrist in Dracut, MA
Parents often know something is wrong before they know what it is. Child and adolescent psychiatry gives families a careful evaluation, a clear explanation and a plan that may include therapy, school support and, when appropriate, medication.
Psych Boston provides child and adolescent psychiatry for patients in Dracut, Massachusetts, from our office in Lexington and through secure telehealth. Many Dracut residents work in Lowell, Tewksbury or along I-93 and I-495, so telehealth follow-ups help keep care consistent.
Child and adolescent psychiatry for Dracut patients: who it helps
People from Dracut come to us for child and adolescent psychiatry for many reasons, including:
- Children and teens with attention, focus or hyperactivity concerns
- Kids with worry, panic, school refusal or separation anxiety
- Teens with low mood, irritability, sleep changes or withdrawal
- Children with behavior problems at home or school
- Autistic children and teens with co-occurring anxiety, attention or sleep concerns
What to expect
- Parent and child interview: We meet with parents and the child or teen, together and separately when appropriate, to understand development, school, family and current concerns.
- School and outside input: With your permission, teacher feedback, report cards, rating scales and previous evaluations help complete the picture.
- Diagnosis and family plan: Your psychiatrist explains findings in plain language and outlines options such as therapy, parenting strategies, school accommodations and medication when appropriate.
- Follow-up and coordination: Regular follow-ups track progress, and we coordinate with pediatricians, therapists and school teams when families want us to.
