What the Numbers Say About Cypress
Cypress is one of the biggest places in Texas that is not technically a city - a vast unincorporated stretch of Harris County with master-planned communities, Cy-Fair ISD's hundred-thousand students, and no downtown to put a clinic in even if one wanted to come. Telehealth suits a place with no center.
Insurance we see from Cypress: Energy and medical-center employer plans - BlueCross, UHC, Cigna - plus Cy-Fair ISD coverage.
Getting seen: Video across the 290 corridor; after-school slots for the district's teens.

What to Expect at Lyte Psychiatry
Your first appointment is a full psychiatric evaluation — not a quick intake. Your provider spends 50–60 minutes reviewing your history, current symptoms, medications, and goals. By the end of the visit, you leave with a diagnosis, a specific treatment plan, and if medication is appropriate, a prescription sent to your local pharmacy the same day.
Follow-up visits are typically 20–30 minutes. They focus on how you're responding to treatment, any medication adjustments, and next steps. Most patients are seen monthly at the start of treatment, then less frequently once things are stable.
We work with a lot of patients who've had poor experiences with psychiatry before — rushed appointments, billing surprises, providers who never remember their history. At Lyte, we verify your insurance before your first visit, keep appointment slots open for urgent needs, and check in with you after every medication change — not just at your next scheduled follow-up — so you are never left adjusting on your own.
Who will I actually see in Cypress?
You are matched with a specific, named clinician — not a rotating pool. Every provider you see is licensed to treat patients in Texas, where Lyte Psychiatry offers care.
