Telepsychiatric Appointments

At Neighborhood Mental Health, we offer convenient video visits while providing quality psychiatric care. We establish relationships with our patients virtually while providing all of the essential services of a standard psychiatric practice. We assess for and diagnose common psychiatric conditions and offer a variety of treatments, including medication management. Your provider may provide elements of psychotherapy within appointments and prescribe medication as deemed appropriate by the patient and provider. Typically, initial visits will last about an hour and follow-up visits will take anywhere from twenty to thirty minutes. During visits, we will work together to establish which issues to focus on and what methods of treatment may be best for you.

What sets us apart? We believe mental health care should be convenient, confidential, and comfortable. Through secure video appointments, you can access expert psychiatric care without the stress of travel or waiting rooms. Our small practice size means you'll receive individualized attention and continuity of care. You can easily message your provider at any time and expect a helpful response quickly. We accept most major insurance plans and offer flexible scheduling to accommodate your busy life.

We are a dedicated telepsychiatric practice committed to providing accessible, high-quality mental health care to individuals across Texas and Colorado. Our approach combines clinical expertise with genuine compassion, ensuring you receive personalized treatment that addresses your unique needs.

We believe there are other first-line evidence-based treatments to treat anxiety and sleep superior to the benzodiazepines and z-drugs listed above.

We can treat ADHD to a degree with other medications and treatments, but just know these are not considered to be the most effective for primary ADHD.
