Psych Boston · Serving Quincy & Norfolk County
Child & Adolescent Psychiatrist in Quincy, MA
A child and adolescent psychiatrist evaluates and treats emotional, behavioral and developmental concerns in children and teens, working closely with parents, schools and therapists so care makes sense at home and in the classroom.
Psych Boston provides child and adolescent psychiatry for patients in Quincy, Massachusetts, from our office in Lexington and through secure telehealth. Because the trip from the South Shore to Lexington can be long at rush hour, many Quincy patients rely mostly on telehealth, with office visits scheduled when an in-person assessment is clinically useful.
Child and adolescent psychiatry for Quincy patients: who it helps
People from Quincy 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.
Getting care from Quincy
We do not have a separate office in Quincy; all in-person visits take place at our Lexington location. From Quincy, the drive to Lexington typically takes 35–45 minutes via I-93 north to Route 128 or through Boston, depending on traffic. Four Red Line stations (North Quincy, Wollaston, Quincy Center and Quincy Adams) serve the city.
We regularly see patients from Quincy Center, Wollaston, North Quincy, Squantum, Houghs Neck and Marina Bay. For many Quincy residents, a combination of an in-person first visit and telehealth follow-ups works well.

Frequently asked questions about child and adolescent psychiatry in Quincy
Can I get child and adolescent psychiatry by telehealth from Quincy?
In many cases, yes. Quincy 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 Quincy neighborhoods do you serve?
We see patients from all parts of Quincy, including Quincy Center, Wollaston, North Quincy, Squantum, Houghs Neck and Marina Bay, as well as surrounding Norfolk County communities.
