Psychiatric Evaluation in Everett, MA

Psych Boston provides psychiatric evaluation for patients in Everett, Massachusetts, from our office in Lexington and through secure telehealth. Everett has grown quickly along the Mystic River, and many working adults here tell us scheduling is their biggest barrier, which is why we offer early, Saturday and video appointments.

Psychiatric evaluation for Everett patients: who it helps

People from Everett come to us for psychiatric evaluation for many reasons, including:

• Persistent low mood, irritability or loss of interest
• Ongoing worry, panic attacks or avoidance
• Trouble focusing, organizing or finishing tasks
• Sleep changes, fatigue or appetite changes
• Mood swings, unusually high energy or impulsivity
• A second opinion on an existing diagnosis or medication
• Concerns raised by a pediatrician, school or primary care provider

What to expect

1. Before the visit: You complete intake forms covering symptoms, medical history, current medications and family history. Bring a list of past treatments and any prior records.
2. The evaluation: A 60–90 minute visit covering your symptoms, history, daily functioning, substance use, safety and goals. For children and teens, a parent or guardian takes part.
3. Diagnosis and plan: Your clinician explains their impressions in plain language and discusses options — which may include medication, therapy referrals, lifestyle steps or further testing.
4. Follow-up: Most patients return within 2–6 weeks to review progress and adjust the plan.
