The Concierge Difference
Therapy and Psychiatry, Together
Many people see a therapist for talk therapy and a separate psychiatrist for medication. The two providers often don't communicate well, and care gets fragmented. With us, it's integrated. If medication is part of your treatment, the same person who prescribes it is the person who knows your story deeply.
Collaboration, Not Prescription
We're not here to tell you what to do. We're here to help you understand yourself better, see your patterns more clearly, and make choices that align with what matters to you. You're the expert on your own life—we're a thinking partner.
Flexibility for Real Life
We offer both in-person sessions at our Cambridge office and telehealth appointments throughout Massachusetts. Life is complicated enough; getting to therapy shouldn't be another obstacle.
The Top Personalized Therapy Clinic in Boston
Dr. Caroline Fu, DO
Boston has many therapy offerings: Hospital clinics, group practices, and individual providers.
But finding the right fit remains challenging. Practices have long waitlists, brief appointments, and “good luck” reaching your provider when you need them.
For those whose lives and responsibilities demand more, a different model exists.
That’s because therapy only works when you feel genuinely heard. That means: Your provider knows your story, remembers what you said last week, and has the time to sit with you in the hard moments without watching the clock.

The Concierge Difference at Caroline Fu Psychiatry
At Caroline Fu Psychiatry, we've built a practice around one simple idea: the relationship is the foundation of healing. Everything else follows from that.
Time to Actually Be Heard
Most therapy sessions are 45 minutes. By the time you settle in and catch up, there's barely time to go deeper before you're wrapping up. Our sessions run 60-90 minutes—enough time to move past the surface and do real work together.
A Provider Who Knows You
When you call, you reach us. When you have a question between sessions, you get a real response. You're not a name on a list of hundreds. We keep our practice intentionally small so we can offer the kind of attention that makes therapy actually work.
More Than Talk Therapy
Dr. Fu is a board-certified psychiatrist, which means she can see the full picture. If there's a biological component to what you're experiencing, she can address it. If medication might help, she can prescribe it. If therapy alone is the right path, she'll tell you that too. You get honest, integrated care—not a referral to someone else every time the conversation gets complex.
Continuity That Compounds
Therapy isn't a single conversation—it's an ongoing relationship that builds over time. When your provider remembers your father's name, knows why Tuesdays are hard, and can connect what you said three months ago to what you're feeling today, that continuity becomes its own kind of medicine.
A Safe Space to Be Yourself
A small practice means privacy. You won't run into your coworker in the waiting room. You can let your guard down and bring your full self—the parts you're proud of and the parts you're struggling with.
Now Accepting New Patients
What brings people to our practice?
My practice addresses the full range of psychological and interpersonal experiences
Anxiety That Won't Quiet
The racing thoughts. The tightness in your chest. The way your mind runs through worst-case scenarios when you're trying to fall asleep. We help you understand what's driving your anxiety and develop real strategies for finding calm.
Depression and Exhaustion
When everything feels heavy. When you're going through the motions but nothing feels meaningful. When you're tired in a way that sleep doesn't fix. We work together to find what's been lost and help you reconnect with yourself.
Burnout
You've been running on empty for too long, pushing through because that's what you do. But you're depleted, and willpower isn't enough anymore. We help you understand how you got here and find a sustainable way forward.
Relationship Struggles
Disconnection from your partner. Conflict that keeps cycling. Loneliness even when you're not alone. Whether you come individually or as a couple, we can help you understand your patterns and build something better.
Grief and Loss
The death of someone you loved. The end of a marriage. The loss of a job, a friendship, or a version of yourself you thought you'd always be. Grief takes many forms, and we provide space to process all of them.
Life Transitions
Starting over after divorce. Becoming a parent. Navigating a career change. Facing retirement. Adjusting to an empty nest. Major transitions—even positive ones—can unsettle us more than we expect. We help you find your footing.
Trauma
Past experiences that still affect how you feel and react today. We use evidence-based approaches to help you process what happened and reduce its grip on your present life.
Feeling Stuck
Sometimes you can't name exactly what's wrong—you just know something needs to change. You're not living the life you want, and you're not sure how to get there. That uncertainty is a valid reason to seek support.
