Depression Treatment in Burlington, MA
Depression affects how you think, feel and function, and it often does not lift on its own. Our clinicians provide careful psychiatric evaluation and evidence-based depression treatment for adults and adolescents.
Psych Boston provides depression treatment for patients in Burlington, Massachusetts, from our office in Lexington and through secure telehealth. Burlington sits at the heart of the Route 128 technology and healthcare corridor, so many patients prefer early-morning or lunchtime visits close to work.
Depression treatment for Burlington patients: who it helps
People from Burlington come to us for depression treatment for many reasons, including:
- Major depressive disorder
- Persistent depressive disorder (long-lasting low mood)
- Depression after a loss, life change or major stress
- Postpartum and perinatal depression
- Depression that has not responded to past treatment
- Teens with depression affecting school or friendships
What to expect
- Comprehensive evaluation: We review symptoms, duration, past episodes, medical conditions, substance use and safety, and screen for bipolar disorder before choosing treatment.
- Treatment options: Plans may include antidepressant medication, therapy referrals, sleep and activity strategies and coordination with your primary care provider.
- Treatment-resistant depression: When first options have not worked, clinicians review dose, duration and alternatives, and discuss advanced options where appropriate.
- Ongoing care: Regular follow-ups track mood, side effects and functioning, and help prevent relapse.

Frequently asked questions about depression treatment in Burlington
Do you have an office in Burlington?
Our office is in Lexington at 35 Bedford Street. Burlington patients are usually about 10 minutes from our Lexington office via Cambridge Street (Route 3A) or Route 128 to Bedford Street. Many Burlington patients also use secure telehealth, which is available to patients located in Massachusetts at the time of the visit when clinically appropriate.
How long does it take for depression treatment to work?
Antidepressants usually take 4–8 weeks to reach full effect. Some people notice better sleep or energy sooner.
What if antidepressants have not worked for me before?
Past non-response is common and does not mean treatment will fail. Your clinician will review what you have tried and discuss other options.
Do you treat depression in teenagers?
Yes. Our team includes child and adolescent psychiatry, and parents or guardians are involved in care for minors.
Can I get depression treatment by telehealth from Burlington?
In many cases, yes. Burlington 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.
Is this an emergency service?
