Psych Boston · Serving Framingham & Middlesex County
Child & Adolescent Psychiatrist in Framingham, MA
When a child's worries, moods, attention or behavior start to affect school, friendships or family life, a child and adolescent psychiatrist can help sort out what is happening and what kind of support will actually help.
Psych Boston provides child and adolescent psychiatry for patients in Framingham, Massachusetts, from our office in Lexington and through secure telehealth. As MetroWest's largest city, Framingham has a broad mix of students, families and commuters, and telehealth helps many residents avoid the Route 9 and Mass Pike traffic.
Child and adolescent psychiatry for Framingham patients: who it helps
People from Framingham 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.
