Adult Psychiatry
Thoughtful adult psychiatry and psychotherapy in a private, beautifully designed setting.
HOW WE WORK WITH ADULTS
Across all adult psychiatry visits you can expect:
Paced, thoughtful evaluation that includes your developmental and medical history and time to hear your story in your own words.
A combined psychotherapy and medication lens, so you are not split between separate prescriber and therapist unless that is your preference.
Identity-attentive, culturally responsive care that recognizes minority stress, intersectionality, and the impact of chronic discrimination on mood, anxiety, and health.
A premium, design-forward office environment with comfortable furnishings, intentional lighting, and sound privacy that allows you to arrive, exhale, and think.
Private, out-of-network practice models, with superbills that many adults use to seek partial reimbursement from PPO plans, HSAs, or FSAs. We are not a concierge practice, yet our physical space is maintained to that standard.
-
On paper, life looks solid. You perform, show up, and even excel. Internally, you feel a steady drag of worry, sadness, or emptiness that does not match how life is supposed to feel. In a quiet, well-appointed space that feels intentionally designed rather than clinical, we slow things down and understand why quick fixes have not worked, so change can last.
-
You notice the same argument with partners, the same dynamic at work, the same self-critique that appears in every chapter of your life. Meeting in a calm, visually thoughtful setting, we examine these patterns in the context of your history, culture, and relationships, so that you are not repeating the story without understanding it.

A move, a breakup, a new child, a loss, or a career shift can bring long-delayed questions to the surface: Who am I now? What do I want? Where do I belong? In insight-oriented psychotherapy, we treat these pivots as a chance to understand how past and present meet rather than just rushing to “adjust.” Sessions unfold in calm, light-filled rooms with comfortable seating and art that invite you to slow down, notice patterns, and speak freely as you think through what is changing so you can be free to shape what kind of life you want next.
Most adults and professionals come to Webster Clinic when they want thoughtful, sustained work on concerns of both mind and body. Life may look organized and accomplished, yet there is a wish for a different experience of mood, energy, sleep, attention, and relationships. Adult psychiatry and psychotherapy with us aims to bring outer life and inner life into closer alignment so you can live a full life.
Adult care at Webster Clinic centers on a steady relationship with a physician-psychiatrist trained in both psychotherapy and medicine. Your life story, current struggles, and medical history all belong in the same room. We consider early relationships, family patterns, culture, and identity alongside medical conditions, prior medications, sleep, hormones, substance use, and other health factors. This integrated adult psychiatry approach combines careful listening, psychological formulation, and a detailed understanding of the brain and body.
Medication decisions sit within this same frame. A psychiatrist who is also your therapist can attend to unconscious meaning and relational patterns while tracking side effects, lab results, and interactions with other treatments, so that psychotherapy and medication management feel like one integrated process.
The space itself supports this work. Sessions take place in light-filled, thoughtfully furnished rooms that feel more like a calm, private living space than a medical suite. Design details, modern art, comfortable seating, and sound privacy create an environment that many people experience as discreet, welcoming, and visually refined, with an aesthetic similar to concierge practices and the structure of a straightforward fee-for-service, out-of-network psychiatric practice in Boston’s Back Bay.
*Our clinicians attend closely to how race, culture, gender, sexuality, family history, immigration, work, and class shape experience. Identity, minority stress, and questions of belonging are welcome topics, whether they appear in the stories you tell or in the nuances of the therapeutic relationship. If you are LGBTQIA+ or a professional of color, you can explore those dedicated pages and also expect that any room in the clinic can hold your full, intersecting identities with care and respect.
ADULT INDIVIDUAL THERAPY OR PSYCHIATRY:
Making sense of persistent anxiety, low mood, irritability, or burnout that has not responded to brief or purely cognitive approaches.
Understanding long-standing patterns in relationships, intimacy, and sexuality, including why the same conflicts or distances keep repeating.
Working with perfectionism, imposter feelings, or chronic overwork where achievement has become the main way to manage fear and self-doubt.
Clarifying the role of medication in your life, including when to start, simplify, or taper, in the context of a broader psychotherapy frame.
Exploring how race, ethnicity, culture, gender, and sexuality influence your sense of worth, safety, and belonging at work, at home, and in close relationships.
FOR PARTNERS, PARENTS, AND FAMILIES:
Many adults come in because of strain in their closest relationships. Others arrive as partners or parents first and discover that their own history needs space.
Couples work focused on repetitive patterns like pursue and withdraw, criticism and defensiveness, or distance and shutdown, with attention to each person’s story and identities.
Support for parents balancing caregiving, careers, and their own mental health, including when a child’s difficulties surface unspoken family issues.
Thoughtful work around adult roles in multigenerational and intercultural families, including expectations, loyalty, and the quiet impact of racism, sexism, homophobia, and transphobia.
