The Boston Psychiatry Center Approach
At Boston Psychiatry Center, we pride ourselves on excellent clinical care. We believe that high quality care requires more than just a prescription; it requires a partnership. Our clinic is built on the standard of excellence established by our Harvard training, ensuring that you receive thoughtful, evidence-based care without the shortcuts often found elsewhere.
Expert Care, Grounded in Excellence
Founded and led by Harvard-trained clinicians, our practice brings world-class expertise to the Greater Boston area. We specialize in medication management, therapy, and diagnostic clarity, drawing on years of experience at leading academic medical centers to provide a level of care that goes beyond general psychiatry.
We Take the Time to Know You
Good psychiatric and therapeutic care cannot be rushed. Unlike high-volume clinics that prioritize speed, we prioritize the person. We take the time to understand your history, your needs, and your goals. Our initial evaluations and follow-up visits are intentionally longer, ensuring that no detail is overlooked and every concern is heard.
Therapy Infused into Every Visit
We do not believe in "medication-only" checks. Every visit at our center is therapy-infused. Whether we are discussing a new treatment or monitoring your progress, we integrate psychotherapeutic techniques into our conversations. By addressing mindset and behavior alongside brain chemistry, we foster deeper, more sustainable recovery.
Increasing Access to Care
We started Boston Psychiatry Center to increase access to world-class psychiatric care. We know that one of the greatest barriers to mental health wellness in the Greater Boston area is the challenge of finding providers who accept insurance. We specifically partner with Harvard Pilgrim because of their track record of prioritizing your mental health.
