“Matthew was very considerate, friendly, and knowledgeable, and I especially appreciate how he validated my experience and made it clear that he truly wanted to help. We easily found a med to guide me in the right direction with my treatment and he made sure I was comfortable and confident in the decisions we made. He covered everything I needed to know, reassured me in the concerns I had, and made sure I knew he was available any time I had questions or needed adjusting. I am ecstatic that I found the right doctor and look forward to working with him in future appointments. ”

Getting to know Matthew Dacey

I keep psychiatric care straightforward and personal. My practice is intentionally small, which allows me to get to know my patients, stay involved in their care, and make treatment decisions without unnecessary complexity. I work with adults with ADHD, anxiety, depression, mood concerns, and related conditions. Treatment is individualized around what you’re experiencing, what has or hasn’t worked before, and what you actually want from care. My goal is simple: listen, explain your options clearly, and work with you on a treatment plan that makes sense for your life. Outside of work, I enjoy staying active, spending time outdoors, and following all things Boston sports. My wife and I built a campervan and traveled across the U.S., which became one of my favorite experiences. And at home, I spend plenty of time with my senior Norwegian Forest cat.

What should a new client know about working with you?

I’m relaxed and practical in how I work with patients. You don’t need to know the “right” thing to say or come into an appointment with everything figured out. I want to understand what’s bothering you, what you want to improve, and what has or hasn’t worked in the past. From there, we make decisions together. I’ll give you my clinical opinion, explain the reasoning behind it, and keep treatment clear and manageable.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

The first visit is mostly about getting to know you and understanding what you want help with. We’ll talk through your symptoms, history, previous medications or treatment, and your goals. If medication makes sense, we’ll go over the options and decide together where to start. Follow-ups are focused and practical: how you’re doing, whether the medication is helping, any side effects, and what we should change. Because my practice is small, I’m able to provide more individualized follow-up rather than making care feel like a revolving door.

    Genuinely a terrible experience, I was honest and vulnerable and he invalidated my emotions and experiences. He almost entirely ignored what I was saying pushing for medication within the first couple minutes. He belittled my experience with mental health and made little effort to understand me. Expect to spend at least a few expensive minutes with him talking about nothing relevant as if an intake form wouldn’t inform him. I cannot in good conscience recommend him. If you want someone who doesn’t listen, will lecture you on your experience, and push for medications he is a great fit. I had hoped these negative aspects were just getting off on the wrong foot, but he prioritizes setting up frequent meetings to maximize profit. I must emphasize how this man lacks empathy, embodies supercilious behavior, and suggest you have schizophrenia because you use a word he doesn’t know. A condescending attitude and an inability to listen, and he will leave you waiting a couple expensive minutes.
