A physician-only group practice
The Attention of a Private Psychiatrist, the Efficiency of a Group Practice
One doctor for therapy and prescribing, and colleagues to think with when a case is hard.
How a doctor's office used to be
Center Clinic Doctors Have Time to Deepen the Work
A deliberately smaller practice, so there is room for longer visits, and the understanding deepens every time we meet.
Longer appointments leave room to understand your whole life, not just a list of symptoms.
Compare that to a 15-minute med check at an insurance-based clinic.
We both have time to notice what has changed and why, instead of renewing a prescription and moving on.
Your psychiatrist provides both your therapy and your medication. Psychiatrists are trained to do both, but many are limited by their employer to medication visits only.
Here, the person adjusting your medication knows your full story.
Each of our physicians keeps a deliberately small patient panel of no more than 125 patients.
That reserves the time and energy that empathetic care takes.
Insurance & ReimbursementCenter Psychiatry physicians do not accept insurance. We are OON.
Our physicians
Physicians Trained at Harvard, Columbia, and Tufts
Center Psychiatry is a small group where every clinician is a physician, not a marketplace of prescribers.
Offices in Boston and New York, one standard of care.
What that means for you
Why We Practice as a Group
In a private practice you see the same psychiatrist at every visit, with room to work through your whole life story. That is how we work: your psychiatrist does both the evaluation and the ongoing treatment, so you are never handed off between a prescriber and a therapist who don't speak.
A psychiatric second opinion is an independent look at your diagnosis and treatment by a psychiatrist who is not your current doctor. Asking for one is normal and expected, not a betrayal of anyone. Inside a group practice, your doctor can get that kind of look at a case without sending you anywhere.
In our group practice, you see the same physician every visit. The "group" aspect of our practice refers to centralized administrative support we provide to all of our physicians and patients.
Two cities, one standard of care
Our Offices in Boston and New York
We also see patients by telehealth across Massachusetts and New York.
This is not an emergency practice. If you are experiencing an emergency, call 911, or call or text 988 for the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline.
One relationship, one doctor
If you're curious, let's talk
If you've had trouble finding a psychiatrist who "gets you" in the past, we will help you find a doctor who really understands your situation.
