Psych Boston · Serving Saugus & Essex County
Child & Adolescent Psychiatrist in Saugus, 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 Saugus, Massachusetts, from our office in Lexington and through secure telehealth. Many Saugus residents commute along Route 1 into Boston or north toward Route 128, so early-morning and telehealth appointments are popular.
Child and adolescent psychiatry for Saugus patients: who it helps
People from Saugus 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 Saugus

In many cases, yes. Saugus 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 Saugus neighborhoods do you serve?
We see patients from all parts of Saugus, including Saugus Center, Cliftondale, East Saugus, North Saugus and the Route 1 corridor, as well as surrounding Essex County communities.
