The diagnostic rigor of academic medicine. The accessibility of private practice.
Modern Mentality is a clinician-owned psychiatric practice built around one idea: diagnose before you treat, measure everything, and treat the person rather than the label.
Prescribers, therapists and NeuroStar TMS under one roof, on commercial insurance.
Clinician-Owned. Patient-Focused.
Most people arrive here after years of the same pattern: a short appointment, a questionnaire, a prescription, and a follow-up nobody uses to check whether any of it worked. Modern Mentality was built to close that gap between what someone is capable of and what their attention, mood or energy currently lets them deliver.
We are an integrative psychiatric practice in Duxbury and Boston’s Back Bay, with telehealth across Massachusetts and New Hampshire. Our team of psychiatric nurse practitioners, licensed clinical social workers and licensed mental health counselors works from one model: a real evaluation first, objective data behind every diagnosis, validated outcome measures at every visit, and a plan that changes the week the numbers say it should.
Our clinicians bring training and clinical experience from McLean Hospital, Massachusetts General Hospital, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and Newton-Wellesley Hospital. We hold specialized ADHD certification (ADHD-CCSP), and we use FDA-cleared TOVA attention testing, Creyos neurocognitive assessment, GeneSight pharmacogenetic testing to inform prescribing, and NeuroStar TMS to move past trial-and-error psychiatry.
Modern Mentality is an official clinical training site for Boston College’s Doctor of Nursing Practice program, and the practice is partnering with Boston College on an active three-semester DNP research project to validate our ADHD assessment protocol. Teaching keeps us honest: every diagnostic call and prescribing decision has to be defensible out loud.
And premium care here does not require a concierge price tag. We are in network with the major commercial plans, verify your benefits before the first visit, and openings are often available within two weeks.
Biology, skills, mood, data, and the life around them, treated as one problem by one team, with proof that it is working.

ADHD and Executive Function
Our specialty. ADHD-CCSP certified care with TOVA, Creyos, the ASRS and the CAARS-2 behind every diagnosis, careful attention to what masquerades as ADHD and what rides along with it, and a structured executive-function curriculum alongside medication.
Anxiety and OCD
Generalized anxiety, social anxiety, panic and OCD, treated with precise pharmacology where it helps, therapy for the skills that make gains hold, and GAD-7 tracking at every visit.
Depression and Treatment-Resistant Depression
Validated scores at every visit, GeneSight pharmacogenetic testing when medication selection is uncertain, and NeuroStar TMS in Duxbury when two or three medications have not worked.

Trauma-informed care paced to what a person can tolerate, with PCL-5 tracking, evidence-based therapy and medication coordinated in one plan.
First Responders and Veterans
Dedicated, culturally competent care for military members, veterans, police, fire and EMS professionals, with the discretion and directness that work demands.
Children, Teens and Families
Care from age 10 with clinicians who take young people seriously, and parents who are partners in the plan rather than spectators to it.
Not Every Practice Is Built the Same
Real Evaluations, Real Answers
Where app-based services offer a fifteen-minute video check-in, we start with a structured evaluation, objective testing and FDA-cleared assessment, in person or by telehealth, so the diagnosis is right before anything is prescribed.
Diagnostics Others Do Not Offer
Most practices rely on questionnaires alone. We bring Creyos cognitive testing, TOVA, GeneSight pharmacogenetic testing and NeuroStar TMS into one practice, and use them to build the complete clinical picture.
Access Without the Wait
Clinicians with McLean and Mass General experience, without the months-long waitlists, the bureaucracy or the fragmented care. Openings are often available within two weeks.
TMS Inside a Full Plan
TMS centers treat one symptom in isolation. We integrate NeuroStar TMS with medication management, therapy and measurement before, during and after the course.
Outcomes Follow Process
None of this is complicated. It is simply done every time, by every clinician here, and that discipline is the whole difference.
From First Contact to a Plan
Openings are often available within two weeks.

We verify your benefits
Our team reaches out within two business days and checks your insurance before your first visit, so there are no surprises.
A real evaluation
A structured assessment, not a quick prescription visit. Objective testing is scheduled when it is indicated.
A plan, measured
You leave with a plan and the measures we will track. Every follow-up starts with the score and with what happened in your week.
What Our Patients Say
“For the first time, I feel like someone actually understands what’s going on in my brain. The neurocognitive testing gave me answers I’ve been looking for my entire life. This isn’t just another psychiatry office.”
“After trying three different medications with my previous provider, GeneSight testing here showed why nothing was working. Within weeks of switching, I felt like myself again. The data-driven approach makes all the difference.”
“Having my prescriber and therapist in the same practice, communicating about my care, has been a game-changer. I’m not repeating my story or worrying about mixed signals between providers anymore.”
