Care that begins with understanding.

Accurate diagnosis
A thorough first visit that takes the time to understand your history, your symptoms, and your goals.
Evidence-based medication management
Thoughtful, individualized treatment, with a referral to therapy or other specialists when that serves you best.
Steady, collaborative follow-up
Regular check-ins that keep up with your life, so your plan stays right for you over time.
Telepsychiatry, explained
Real psychiatric care, by secure video.
All care is delivered by secure video. Your first visit runs 60 to 90 minutes depending on age, and follow-ups run 15 to 30 minutes. Telepsychiatry matches in-person care for diagnostic accuracy and treatment outcomes, and it removes the drive, the time off work, and the waiting room.
A brief screening first confirms that telepsychiatry fits your needs. Certain medications, including some controlled substances, are prescribed for patients who reside in Texas.
