Psych Boston · Serving Lynn & Essex County
Child & Adolescent Psychiatrist in Lynn, 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 Lynn, Massachusetts, from our office in Lexington and through secure telehealth. As the largest city on the North Shore, Lynn has a wide mix of families, students and working adults, and many prefer starting with a telehealth visit before an office appointment.
Child and adolescent psychiatry for Lynn patients: who it helps
People from Lynn 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.

Frequently asked questions about child and adolescent psychiatry in Lynn
Can I get child and adolescent psychiatry by telehealth from Lynn?
In many cases, yes. Lynn 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.
What ages do you see?
We see children, adolescents and young adults. Our office can confirm the right starting point for your child's age and concerns.
Will my child be put on medication?
Not automatically. Medication is considered only when it is likely to help, and parents are involved in every decision.
Can you work with my child's school?
Yes. With your consent, we can review school input and provide recommendations that support accommodations or a 504 or IEP plan.
Which Lynn neighborhoods do you serve?
We see patients from all parts of Lynn, including Downtown Lynn, Wyoma Square, Lynnhurst, the Highlands and Diamond District, as well as surrounding Essex County communities.
