Our Services

Psychiatric and behavioral health needs don’t only happen during business hours. That’s why we offer 24-hour care, including early appointments and evening clinic hours several days a week. We have the resources available to help you through urgent issues or crises, so you never have to manage your symptoms alone. In some cases, this may mean accessing help through the emergency department. In others, it may mean talking to one of our team members over the phone or getting connected to crisis services within the community. No matter what, our clinicians are available to help you get the help you need.

At Lahey Hospital & Medical Center, psychiatry and behavioral health services are integrated into your overall care. That means whether you’re seeing a primary care physician, or staying as an inpatient at the hospital, you have direct access to psychiatrists, therapists, clinical social workers and other specialists.

Chronic medical conditions often lead to mental health complications. Sometimes that means providing psychiatry and behavioral health services within the medical setting, and sometimes that means connecting you to a specialty mental health clinic.

We are here to help you process the news of your diagnosis, manage your reaction to medical-related stress and support you through your medical treatments.
