What the service is

Boston Neurobehavioral Associates is a psychiatric care and therapy practice established in 1998, offering a mix of telehealth and in-person appointments. The company operates across seven US states (Massachusetts, Rhode Island, New Jersey, Maryland, Illinois, New York, and Florida) with multiple office locations, and its site makes clear it is actively accepting new patients for psychiatry, therapy, and ADHD testing. The organization emphasizes accessible, evidence-based care and states a commitment to reducing stigma around mental health.

How it works

All services are delivered via "secure telehealth unless otherwise specified," meaning most patients can work with providers remotely, though the company also maintains physical offices in each state it serves. For therapy and medication management, the intake process appears to be straightforward: call the main number (508) 979-5557 to schedule an initial appointment. The site does not describe how long the intake takes, how provider matching works, or whether patients can switch therapists, but it does list multiple locations per state, suggesting you may have some choice of office if you prefer in-person care.

The company's treatment philosophy centers on delivering "an accurate diagnosis, followed by an integrative treatment plan." Medication management is a core offering alongside therapy, and the site indicates that the organization provides psychiatric care for adults as well as specialized child and adolescent psychiatry in Massachusetts and Florida only. Beyond standard therapy and psychiatry, the company offers ADHD testing and evaluation (useful for adults seeking diagnosis), neuropsychological testing in Massachusetts, TMS (transcranial magnetic stimulation) therapy for treatment-resistant depression in Dartmouth, and Spravato (esketamine) treatment, also in Dartmouth and Worcester. The addition of TMS and Spravato options suggests the practice positions itself as offering advanced, evidence-supported treatments beyond medication alone.

Couples therapy and relationship counseling are listed as a service, though the site provides no detail on how many providers are trained in this modality or what the structure looks like. Individual therapy is the primary offering, and the site categorizes conditions by diagnosis (depression, anxiety, ADHD, sleep disorders, PTSD, OCD, and others are all named), though how providers specialize within those categories is not explained.

Credentials and what the site says

The company lists a team of providers with credentials including PMHNP (psychiatric nurse practitioner), DO (doctor of osteopathy), and other clinical titles, though the full roster is not displayed on the homepage. The site says clinicians are spread across the seven states it serves, but does not specify how many providers are employed versus contracted, or whether the network model allows patients in one state to see providers elsewhere.

Coverage is described simply: "We take insurance" and the site notes "View All Accepted Insurances" as a clickable link, but the actual list of plans is not shown in the captured page. The company accepts insurance, but which plans and in which states is behind a navigation step. No pricing is published for services; the site invites visitors to call or request an appointment online but does not quote session fees or package costs anywhere visible.

The practice treats a long list of conditions: depression, schizophrenia, sleep disorders, anxiety, separation anxiety, adjustment disorder, panic attacks, PTSD, anorexia, agoraphobia, OCD, bulimia, social anxiety, phobias, bipolar disorder, cognitive disorders, ADHD, and personality disorders. Sleep disorder is explicitly named, which aligns with the directory category. The site does not claim any special expertise in sleep specifically, nor does it publish clinical outcome data, research, or efficacy claims.

What the site does not say

Pricing is not published. There is no information on typical session lengths, appointment frequency, how long waits are for a first appointment, or how quickly a patient can expect to see a psychiatrist (wait times vary significantly across regions and providers). The company does not publish its fee structure, whether it offers sliding scale, or how much out-of-pocket costs run for patients with or without insurance.

Insurance network status is not detailed. Which specific plans are in-network, whether the company accepts Medicare or Medicaid in each state, and whether patients outside the seven served states can access telehealth are all questions the site leaves unanswered. The insurance page behind the link would provide this, but it is not captured here.

The structure of the therapy provider network is unclear. Whether therapists are employees or independent contractors, how provider choice works during intake, and whether patients can easily switch providers are not addressed. For a practice spread across multiple states, clarity on this would help patients in areas with limited choice.

The company does not specify the medication classes it can prescribe, whether it prescribes controlled substances for ADHD or other conditions, or any restrictions on its prescribing authority. Some telehealth psychiatry services exclude certain medication classes; Boston Neurobehavioral says nothing about this.

Who it fits

Boston Neurobehavioral suits patients with employer or individual health insurance in one of the seven served states, especially those seeking combined therapy and medication management. The range of conditions treated (including sleep, anxiety, ADHD, and mood disorders) is broad, so someone looking for help with multiple issues or for a co-occurring diagnosis like ADHD plus depression has a good match.

The offering of ADHD testing makes it valuable for adults who suspect ADHD but have not yet been evaluated. The inclusion of neuropsychological testing (in Massachusetts) appeals to someone investigating cognitive changes or decline. TMS and Spravato availability in two locations serves patients with treatment-resistant depression in those areas.

In-person appointments are available, which matters for patients who prefer face-to-face visits, have connectivity issues, or distrust telehealth. Multiple locations per state mean some geographic reach, though patients in rural areas or smaller cities may still find limited options.

The practice does not fit patients seeking a specific modality like DBT or EMDR, since these are not mentioned. Patients looking for purely self-guided or coaching-based help, without a psychiatrist, may find the emphasis on psychiatric and therapy-based care less suited to their needs. Patients outside the seven served states cannot use this service. Uninsured patients or those seeking low-cost care will need to call and ask about sliding scale or payment plans, as the site does not advertise these options.
