Aster Mental Health

Led by Dr. Shahrzad Sims, a double Board-certified psychiatrist who completed her training at Harvard Medical School, the multidisciplinary team of therapists and medication management clinicians at Aster Mental Health is a full-service provider of medication management and therapy to treat depression, anxiety, bipolar, paranoia, PTSD, phobia, postpartum, and schizophrenia.
Our offices also provide interventional psychiatry options for treatment resistant depression through TMS and Spravato.
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is a noninvasive procedure conducted under the supervision of trained medical staff. Patients sit comfortably in a TMS chair that uses magnetic fields to stimulate nerve cells in the brain to improve symptoms of depression.
Spravato (Esketamine) is a nasal spray administered in an outpatient setting under the supervision of a medical care team.
Appointment requests, including those for new patients, can be made through our website, astermentalhealth.com, or by calling (617) 299-2238.
