Dr. Ronald Lee

A Board-Certified Adult Psychiatrist and founder of Luminous Vitality Behavioral Health, PLLC.

At his private professional practice, Dr. Lee provides highly personalized and comprehensive psychiatric services including psychopharmacological evaluation and diagnostics, psychotherapy, medication management and telepsychiatry to patients from Boston, the cape, and throughout the state of Massachusetts, through the use of convenient and comfortable virtual telehealth visits.

Dr. Lee began his career in medicine by first obtaining a master's degree in Human Physiology and Biophysics from Georgetown University. Following, he completed his doctor of medicine degree at Drexel University College of Medicine and completed post-graduate training at Harvard Medical School and the University of Connecticut.

Dr. Lee's experience over the past decade has included appointments as staff psychiatrist and consultant, in outpatient clinic settings, inpatient hospital settings, in the emergency room, in forensic settings, addiction programs, and now private practice. Additionally, Dr. Lee has served in these capacities throughout many Massachusetts Department of Mental Health facilities and has experience acting as expert witness.

Luminous Vitality Behavioral Health was born out of Dr. Lee's desire to provide high-quality, safe, and effective mental health treatment during the COVID-19 pandemic and continues as a private practice focused on providing patient-centered care that is personalized, flexible and discreet.

Prioritizing Personalized Care

Reasons to see our out-of-network Boston Psychiatrist at Luminous Vitality Behavioral Health

You want highly personalized mental health care services determined by you and your doctor

  • Greater scheduling flexibility
  • Shorter wait times
  • Longer than average evaluation and treatment sessions
  • Direct access to your patient portal and doctor
  • Highly coordinated care

You have a health insurance plan with out-of-network benefits

  • Your health insurance company may reimburse you up to 80% of each session fee that you pay to an out-of-network provider
  • Using out-of-network benefits can be comparable to a standard copay to see an in-network provider

You prefer not to use health insurance benefits

  • Your health information is kept private and not shared with a health insurance company
  • Your treatment plan is dictated by you and your psychiatrist, not an insurance company

While we do not accept or bill any health insurance companies directly, many of our patients use their out-of-network PPO benefits by submitting superbills, which we provide, to their health insurance company—for reimbursement of fees they have paid to Luminous Vitality Behavioral Health. We always suggest consulting with your health insurance company to determine specific benefit information if you plan to submit for reimbursement.

Choosing Telepsychiatry

Discretion

Telepsychiatry provides privacy and confidentiality for those seeking it.

Authenticity While At Ease

Some patients find it easier to communicate authentically about sensitive or difficult topics with a doctor through technology than they do in person.

Comfort

Mental health services delivered through the use of telehealth can be incredibly comfortable. Participate in treatment sessions from the comfort of your home, private office or dorm room. The setting you choose can include the comforts of importance to you: these could include a favorite room or chair, sunlit patio, or private area of a park

Practicality

Virtual office visits can remove many barriers totreatment, leading to more consistent care. Those with physical limitations, social anxiety and limited scheduling flexibility may find Telepsychiatry particularly useful in obtaining consistent care

Flexibility

Virtual psychiatry offers the convenience of participating in treatment sessions from the comfort of home, school, or work without the need totake a large amount of time out of your busy schedule to drive, park, and wait...in a waiting room full of strangers

Quality

According to the American Psychiatric Association:“Telepsychiatry is equivalent to in-person care in diagnostic accuracy, treatment effectiveness, quality of care and patient satisfaction."
