San Angelo is Goodfellow's intelligence-training pipeline plus a genuine ranching economy, and the Concho Valley around it is classic West Texas shortage country - counties in every direction with no psychiatrist at all. We see trainees under security-clearance stress, ag families in drought years, and Angelo State students, all funneling into the same thin local supply.
Insurance we see from San Angelo: Tricare, BlueCross, and Ambetter mostly. We are straightforward about documentation questions that clearance-holders worry about - ask us directly.
Getting seen: Telehealth across the Concho Valley. Early slots before formation, evening slots after the last pasture check.

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 San Angelo?
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.
