SERVICES AVAILABLE TO HOUSTON PATIENTS
Psychiatric Services for Houston Adults
Every service below is available to Houston and greater metro patients, either in person at our Sugar Land office or via telehealth from anywhere in Texas.
Psychiatric Evaluation
Your first visit is a 50-minute conversation about what brought you in, your symptoms and history, past diagnoses, current medications, family history and what is going on in your life. It gives your provider enough time to understand you before any treatment decision is made, and it becomes the starting point for your treatment plan.
New Patients
Online Psychiatry and Telepsychiatry
See us from home, work or anywhere in Texas over secure, HIPAA-compliant video. Online visits include evaluations, medication management and follow-ups, so you can skip the commute without giving up any part of your care.
Texas Statewide
Psychotropic Medication Management
Ongoing psychotropic medication management for Houston patients. We prescribe, adjust, and carefully taper psychiatric medications, including SSRIs, SNRIs, mood stabilizers, stimulant medication for ADHD, and sleep medications, based on your response, side effects, and personal goals. E-prescriptions go straight to your preferred Houston-area pharmacy.
In-Person & Telehealth
Anxiety Treatment for Houston Adults
Anxiety can show up as constant worry, panic attacks, dread in social situations, or new anxiety during or after pregnancy. We evaluate what you are experiencing and, when medication is appropriate, build and adjust a plan with you over time, in person or online.
Adults 18+
Adult ADHD Evaluation and Treatment
If you have wondered whether ADHD explains your focus, restlessness or trouble following through, our adult evaluation starts with a structured clinical interview. When it would add useful information, we include Creyos cognitive testing, which you can complete online from home or in our office. If ADHD is diagnosed, we can manage treatment in person or online.
$135 Creyos Test if Not Covered
Treatment-Resistant Depression
If you have tried two or more antidepressants without enough relief, we review every past medication trial with you and build a new plan. That may include a different medication class or adding a second medication, and referral for other treatment options when clinically appropriate.
