A brief screening confirms fit before your first visit. - Every visit with Dr. McDade - Women-centered focus - No referral needed ![Dr. Allison J. McDade, MD, smiling against a weathered wood wall](https://www.healthandharmonypsychiatry.com/hs-fs/hubfs/dr-allison-mcdade-wood-wall-portrait.webp?width=1173&height=1600&name=dr-allison-mcdade-wood-wall-portrait.webp) Dr. Allison J. McDade, MD Board certified by the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology in psychiatry and in child and adolescent psychiatry The answer **PTSD, or post-traumatic stress disorder, is a psychiatric condition that may occur in people who have experienced or witnessed a traumatic event or series of traumatic events.** For a diagnosis, the American Psychiatric Association explains, symptoms last more than a month and cause significant distress or problems in daily life. Its main treatments are psychotherapy, medications, or both, the National Institute of Mental Health notes. Dr. McDade starts with an unhurried evaluation and builds a plan with you. **You understand what you are treating and why.** If you need help now If you are in crisis or thinking about suicide, call or text 988 or chat at [988lifeline.org](https://988lifeline.org/) to reach the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline. If you are Deaf or hard of hearing, use your preferred relay service or dial 711, then 988. In an emergency, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room. This practice does not provide emergency services. ![Dr. Allison J.

Dr. McDade, at every visit. Health & Harmony Psychiatry is a physician-only practice, so every follow-up is with the physician who already knows your story. There is time to describe your symptoms fully, along with the context around them. Her practice has a strong women-centered focus. From 2020 to 2025, she worked exclusively with women patients across the lifespan. The practice provides psychiatric evaluation, medication management, follow-up, and coordination with the patient's other clinicians. Full recovery is the goal, even if the best path is a referral. ## Can trauma hide behind a successful life? It can. You may still lead the meeting, handle school pickup, and answer every email, and it still finds you at 2 a.m. Sometimes it began in a moment like one of these. - A birth that turned frighteningAn emergency, a long labor, or a moment when you or your baby were in danger. - A discovery about someone you trustedA message you were never meant to see, and a relationship that suddenly looked different. - A divorce, and everything it touchedThe house, the holidays, the custody calendar, and an ex who still knows how to unsettle you. - A lawsuit with your name on itMonths of depositions and waiting, with your work, your reputation, and your savings on the line. - A relationship where you felt afraidControl, threats, or fear at home, even if it ended years ago. - A moment that crossed a lineAn assault, harassment at work, or something you never told anyone. If you are not safe at home Call 911, or reach the National Domestic Violence Hotline, free, confidential, and open 24/7, at [800.799.7233](tel:+18007997233) or by texting START to 88788. **You can hold everything together and still be hurting.** ## How does Dr. McDade treat PTSD and trauma? Dr. McDade hears your story and reviews your history and your health, over 60 to 90 minutes. Understanding relies on context, and some stories need more time. 1. 01 ### Your story, at your pace You and Dr. McDade piece together a timeline of your symptoms and what sets them off. You share only what you are ready to share. 2. 02 ### Your history and your health She reviews past diagnoses and treatment, your mood, physical health, current medications, sleep, recent labs, and any hormonal changes. She looks for anything else that could cause your symptoms or add to them. 3. 03 ### What she finds She explains what she finds, including whether PTSD, something else, or both may be behind what you notice, and what that means for your daily life. 4. 04 ### A plan built with you Starting a medication is a collaborative conversation. You and Dr. McDade discuss each option in depth. When therapy is the better starting point, she refers to therapists she knows well. Collaborative 5. 05 ### Follow-up that keeps up with your life Follow-up visits run 15 to 30 minutes by secure video. **Your plan is built with you.** ## What can PTSD feel like day to day? You might notice some of this. What it can feel like - One moment replays, often at night, once the house goes quiet. - A sound, a smell, or a name pulls you right back into it. - You startle easily, or feel tense and on guard most days. - Sleep comes late, breaks easily, or brings bad dreams. - You steer around certain places, people, or topics. - You keep moving so the thoughts stay behind you. - You carry guilt or blame, and replay what you could have done. - You snap more than you used to, then feel far from everyone. Many people have some of these reactions after a dangerous event, and most do not develop PTSD, the National Institute of Mental Health notes. If some of this sounds familiar, a careful evaluation can sort out what is behind it. Women are more likely than men to develop PTSD, the National Institute of Mental Health notes. In national survey data it reports, about 5 in 100 U.S. women had PTSD in the past year, compared with about 2 in 100 men. **PTSD is common, and it is treatable.** ## Is it PTSD, or the weight of a hard season? It can be either, or both. PTSD follows a traumatic event, and the American Psychiatric Association's examples include abuse, intimate partner violence, serious accidents, and medical illness. A divorce, a betrayal, or a lawsuit can bring sleepless nights and racing thoughts too. MedlinePlus describes adjustment disorder as symptoms such as stress, anxiety, or feeling sad or hopeless after a stressful life event, such as a divorce or problems with a relationship. - ### PTSD What comes before A traumatic event, such as abuse, violence, a serious accident, or a medical illness When it starts Usually within 3 months, sometimes later How long it lasts More than a month, for a diagnosis - ### Adjustment disorder What comes before A stressful life event, such as a divorce or problems with a relationship When it starts Most often within 3 months How long it lasts Usually 6 months or less, unless the stress continues Adapted from the National Institute of Mental Health, the American Psychiatric Association, and MedlinePlus. The first evaluation can sort out what is behind it. **Whatever its name, it deserves care.** > Healing from trauma is not about forgetting. It is about getting to a place where the past no longer runs your present. ![](https://www.healthandharmonypsychiatry.com/hs-fs/hubfs/dr-allison-mcdade-wood-wall-portrait.webp?width=1173&height=1600&name=dr-allison-mcdade-wood-wall-portrait.webp)Dr. Allison J. McDade, MD ## Who is this care right for? For the executive, the founder, the physician, the attorney, and the mother still carrying something that happened. Care here fits when - Something you lived through still shows up in your sleep, your focus, or your patience. - You keep showing up for everyone and want a private place to sort out what is going on. - You want a psychiatrist who listens first, explains what she finds, and builds a plan with you. - You or your child are 6 to 70 and located in Texas at the time of each visit. Another kind of care fits better when - You need emergency care. This practice does not provide emergency services. - Therapy is the better starting point. [Contact us](https://www.healthandharmonypsychiatry.com/contact?hsLang=en) and we will help with referrals. - You need intensive outpatient care. Dr. McDade refers to local or virtual IOPs. - You need documents for a divorce or custody case. Dr. McDade does not complete custody or divorce documents and may decline certain forms. ## Questions about PTSD care Can PTSD start long after the event? It can. Symptoms of PTSD usually begin within 3 months of the traumatic event, but they sometimes emerge later, the National Institute of Mental Health explains. The first evaluation starts with when your symptoms began. Can a traumatic birth lead to PTSD? It can. In a review of 59 studies, about 4 in 100 women in community samples had PTSD after giving birth, and rates were higher among women in high-risk groups, researchers reported in the Journal of Affective Disorders in 2017. Dr. McDade treats psychiatric conditions in the context of the peripartum period, and the [women's mental health page](https://www.healthandharmonypsychiatry.com/conditions/womens-mental-health?hsLang=en) explains that care. Can a divorce or a betrayal cause PTSD? Sometimes the right name is different. The American Psychiatric Association ties PTSD to a traumatic event, such as abuse, intimate partner violence, a serious accident, or a medical illness. After a stressful life event, such as a divorce or problems with a relationship, symptoms like stress, anxiety, or feeling hopeless may point to an adjustment disorder, MedlinePlus explains. Whichever name fits, what you feel is real, and you can begin at your own pace. Can PTSD be treated with medication? Yes, as part of a plan. The main treatments for PTSD are psychotherapy, medications, or both, and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved two antidepressants to treat it, the National Institute of Mental Health notes. Dr. McDade provides diagnostic evaluation and medication management. Plans are individualized and may include referral to therapy or other specialists when appropriate. What if I am not sure which concern fits? You can start without a name for it. The first evaluation begins with when your symptoms began and how long they have lasted, and Dr. McDade explains what she finds. How long is the first evaluation? 60 to 90 minutes with Dr. McDade. The length follows your age, your symptoms, and your history, and it leaves room to connect and consider. Will I see the same doctor at every visit? Yes. Health & Harmony Psychiatry is a physician-only practice, and every visit, from your first evaluation through every follow-up, is with Dr. McDade. Do I need a referral to see Dr. McDade? No. You can book a first visit without a referral, and a parent or guardian books for anyone under 18. Clinicians who want to refer a patient can use the [refer a patient page](https://www.healthandharmonypsychiatry.com/refer-a-patient?hsLang=en). How much does care cost? Care is cash pay. A new evaluation with Dr. McDade is $465, and follow-up visits with Dr. McDade are $275. You receive a good faith estimate before your first visit. Does Dr. McDade take insurance? No. Care is cash pay, with rates set in advance and shared up front. You have the right to receive a [Good Faith Estimate](https://www.healthandharmonypsychiatry.com/good-faith-estimate?hsLang=en) explaining how much your medical care will cost. Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who do not have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services. What ages does Dr. McDade see, and where? Patients ages 6 to 70. Health & Harmony Psychiatry provides care by secure video to patients physically located in Texas at the time of their appointment.
