Our center is at 4 Preston Court in Bedford, a few minutes off Route 2 via Route 4/225 or Route 62. Every program is outpatient, so you sleep at home and commute to treatment. Free on-site parking, and evening options for people who work during the day.

Arlington resources and local context
Arlington draws a lot of younger professionals and academics who work in Cambridge and Boston but live just outside the city, and that is reflected in who we see: people with high-functioning depression and anxiety, burnout, and substance use that has not yet caused obvious consequences but is clearly a problem. Early treatment is far easier than late treatment. We also work with people stepping down from Cambridge Health Alliance and Mount Auburn Hospital, and we coordinate care with Arlington-area therapists and prescribers.
