Matthew Lally

I grew up in Massachusetts and went to medical school at the University of Massachusetts. After medical school I moved to sunny Tucson, Arizona for my residency in General Psychiatry and my fellowship in Child and Adolescent Psychiatry. After my training I had the good fortune to work in a dual diagnosis residential treatment center in Tucson and I became board-certified in Addiction Medicine. Eventually my family and I moved back to New England and I have been fortunate enough to work with patients in a number of different clinical settings, including college mental health. Now, I’m excited to be working in college mental health at BU. My goal as a psychiatrist is to help every patient feel comfortable, feel empowered, and give them the best support and psychiatric expertise that I can.

Personal Hobbies
In my free time I mostly enjoy spending time with my family. I also enjoy painting, playing guitar, sailing, paddleboarding, hiking, digital animation, and visiting scenic places in New England (when the weather is nice).
