Anxiety is one of the most common mental health concerns, affecting millions of people across the U.S. It goes beyond typical worry — it can impact relationships, daily responsibilities, and overall well-being. At Dr. Joe Gallego’s Boston-based private practice, patients receive personalized, evidence-based psychiatric treatment tailored to their unique experiences.
Dr. Joe Gallego is a board-certified psychiatrist specializing in the care of teens, young adults, and adults. His clinical approach is rooted in empathy, transparency, and collaboration. With a physical office located in the heart of Boston, Dr. Gallego offers both in-person and virtual care to ensure flexibility without compromising quality.
Each patient begins with a comprehensive 60-minute evaluation. This includes a review of medical history, life stressors, previous treatment experiences, and a detailed discussion of current symptoms. For teens, the evaluation includes separate sessions with the teen, their parent(s), and a combined wrap-up session to ensure clarity and collaboration.
No two people experience anxiety the same way. Dr. Gallego tailors every treatment plan to the patient’s individual goals and circumstances. Treatment plans may include psychotherapy, medication, lifestyle interventions, or coordination with other healthcare providers.
For many patients, psychiatric medication is a helpful component of anxiety treatment. Dr. Gallego provides thoughtful, evidence-based prescribing along with regular follow-ups to monitor efficacy and side effects. He works closely with patients to ensure that medications enhance — rather than hinder — daily functioning.
Dr. Gallego offers individual psychotherapy grounded in supportive, trauma-informed care. Sessions may include cognitive-behavioral techniques, mindfulness practices, and emotion regulation strategies. Therapy is always collaborative, empowering patients to understand and reshape thought patterns that contribute to anxiety.
Adolescents and young adults often face anxiety related to academic pressures, social dynamics, and identity development. Dr. Gallego provides age-appropriate care that balances confidentiality with family involvement — always keeping the teen’s voice at the center of treatment planning.
For patients navigating gender identity, anxiety can be compounded by stigma, isolation, or transition-related stress. Dr. Gallego offers affirming, inclusive care tailored to the needs of transgender and nonbinary individuals, helping them build resilience and inner safety.
Many patients with anxiety have a history of trauma. Dr. Gallego’s trauma-informed approach helps patients gently explore the roots of their anxiety while developing healthier coping strategies in the present. Safety and pacing are prioritized in every step.
Panic attacks are sudden episodes of overwhelming fear that can mimic medical emergencies. Dr. Gallego helps patients understand the physiology of panic, identify triggers, and apply practical techniques to reduce panic frequency and severity over time.
Dr. Gallego coordinates care with therapists, primary care physicians, and school systems (when appropriate) to provide holistic support. Whether it’s writing letters for accommodations or sharing insights with other providers, he believes in teamwork for healing.
Located at 28 Atlantic Ave in Boston, Dr. Gallego’s office is easily accessible for patients seeking in-person care. While telehealth is available, many patients benefit from the stability and relational depth of face-to-face sessions. Local patients are encouraged to explore in-office options.
