# Lyte Psychiatry

> Lyte Psychiatry is a coordinated therapy and psychiatric practice serving Texas. Licensed therapists, board-certified psychiatrists, and psychiatric nurse practitioners provide therapy, psychiatric evaluation, and medication management separately or together. We provide in-person care at our Pantego (Dallas–Fort Worth) clinic and HIPAA-compliant telehealth to patients in every city in Texas — including cities with few or no local psychiatrists, such as Wichita Falls, Abilene, Midland, and Odessa. Most new patients are seen within 1–2 business days. We are in-network with BlueCross BlueShield, UnitedHealthcare/Optum, Cigna/Evernorth, Aetna, Humana, Oscar, Scott & White, Medicare, and Tricare; most insured patients pay a $0–$30 copay. Self-pay, HSA, and FSA accepted.

## About

Lyte Psychiatry was founded to make premium mental health care affordable and accessible across Texas — in person for the DFW area and by secure video everywhere else. Our team of board-certified psychiatrists, psychiatric nurse practitioners, and licensed professional counselors delivers evidence-based, measurement-based care (PHQ-9, GAD-7). Every provider is licensed in the state where they treat the patient. The same provider sees you at each visit, and we check in after every medication change.

## Care model

- **Choose the right starting point:** patients can begin with therapy, psychiatry and medication management, or coordinated care using both services. See https://www.lytepsych.com/therapy, https://www.lytepsych.com/services, and https://www.lytepsych.com/therapy-and-psychiatry.
- **Coordinated:** when a patient receives both services from Lyte, the therapist and psychiatric provider can coordinate treatment through one practice and care record, subject to consent and privacy requirements.
- **Hybrid:** patients choose in-person (DFW) or secure video (statewide) at each visit.
- **Telehealth-first for most of Texas:** for any city outside the DFW metro, care is delivered by HIPAA-compliant video. This includes full psychiatric evaluations, medication management with e-prescribing to a local pharmacy, and therapy.
- **Speed:** most new patients seen within 1–2 business days. No referral required.
- **Cost:** most insured patients pay $0–$30 per visit; self-pay rates shown before booking.
