Psychiatric care that fits your life and your insurance
We started Lyte Psychiatry after watching too many Texans go months without care — not because they didn't want help, but because the system made it unnecessarily hard to get in. We take major insurance, see patients the same week, and keep appointment slots open for urgent needs.
Our board-certified psychiatrists, nurse practitioners, and licensed therapists look at the full picture — sleep, stress, medications, history — not just a checklist of symptoms.
Treatment grounded in research
Our providers follow current clinical guidelines and adjust your plan based on how you actually respond — not a fixed protocol.
Your provider knows your case
You see the same provider at each visit. They track what works, what doesn't, and adjust before small issues become bigger ones.
We follow through
We check in after medication changes, keep notes between visits, and make it easy to reach your provider when something comes up.
In-network with major insurers
We accept BlueCross, UnitedHealthcare, Cigna, Aetna, Ambetter, and others. We verify your benefits before your first appointment so there are no surprises.

What our patients say
See all reviews on Google →"The virtual appointments are incredibly convenient without losing the personal touch or professionalism of an in-office visit. My doctor successfully moved me from an expensive medicine to a cheaper one. I feel cared about, heard, and respected."
"Dr. Toyin is the absolute best. He cares, and has no trouble conveying that concern. Even when I try to rush the appointment, he makes it a point to ask probing questions. I called at 4:45pm and he called back within minutes."
"I've been with Lyte for six months now. Very happy with my service. The hybrid model — virtual when I need it, in-person when I want it — is exactly what I needed. I feel genuinely cared for."
