Getting to know Dr. Brian Boyle
I am a Harvard trained MD and the Chief Psychiatric Officer at Stella Mental Health. I am currently accepting new patients for virtual psychiatric consultations.
If you're seeking medication management, we'll cover this during our consultation. If medication is right for you, I will pair you with a provider on my team for ongoing care. I oversee a team of hand-selected PMHNP experts who can support ongoing medication management appointments.
I was an attending psychiatrist at McLean Hospital and Massachusetts General Hospital for nearly a decade. I earned my MD from Harvard Medical School after I graduated from Yale College with an honors undergraduate degree in philosophy.
My first goal in working with a patient is to ensure they feel heard, and work collaboratively alongside them to find the right treatment plan and path forward.
I consistently look for ways to incorporate more cutting-edge modalities into my practice. I have been lucky enough to help many patients find relief with innovative, effective treatments for anxiety, PTSD/PTSI and depression using Spravato (esketamine) Nasal Spray, Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS), ketamine infusions, and dual sympathetic reset of advanced stellate ganglion blocks (DSR SGB).
What should a new client know about working with you?
Prior to starting my own practice, I was an attending psychiatrist at McLean Hospital and Massachusetts General Hospital for nearly a decade. I earned my MD from Harvard Medical School after I graduated from Yale College with an honors undergraduate degree in philosophy.
I am also trained as a psychotherapist and equipped with psychodynamic and mentalization-based treatment techniques.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
We will first start with a thorough evaluation to understand your history, current challenges, and priorities. Together, we create a personalized treatment plan to find the best path forward. Your custom recommended plan may range from integrative treatments such as ketamine-assisted therapy, Spravato (esketamine),Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS), medication management, therapy referrals, and/or lifestyle strategies to strengthen overall wellness.

More information on payments and coverage
After scheduling your appointment, you will receive an email from Stella Mental Health containing your intake paperwork. Please allow about 30 minutes to complete this form. Your responses will help your provider prepare for your upcoming appointment. All patients are required to complete the intake form 24 business hours before their appointment.
You will receive a phone call from one of our dedicated Care Advocates, who can answer any questions you may have. Please be prepared to provide a credit card to keep on file for co-pays or cancellation fees. Late cancellations and no-shows will be charged the full intake appointment fee ($450).
During your intake appointment, you’ll spend 60 minutes with your provider collaborating on a treatment plan tailored to your needs. If in-person treatments are recommended—such as TMS, Spravato, DSR SGB, or ketamine therapy—our care team will guide you through the process and ensure you feel supported every step of the way.
