Dallas, TX — June 28, 2026 — Lyte Psychiatry, a board-certified therapy and psychiatry practice serving Texas and New Mexico, today announced an expansion of its child and adolescent mental health services, making same-week therapy and psychiatric care available to young patients in person across the Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex and by telehealth statewide.
The expansion targets one of the country's most severe gaps in youth mental health access. Texas ranks near the bottom nationally for mental health care availability, with a shortage of thousands of licensed providers — a gap that falls hardest on children, teens, and families in rural and underserved communities. Lyte's model pairs in-person care at its (Arlington) clinic with secure, HIPAA-compliant telehealth, allowing a licensed Texas provider to see a young patient wherever they live.
"Too many families spend months on a waitlist while a child struggles — and that delay can change the course of a young person's life," said Toyin Awe DNP, at Lyte Psychiatry. "We built this practice so a parent can call on Monday and have their child seen that same week, with a provider who treats the whole picture, not just a checklist of symptoms."
Expanded services for children and adolescents now include:
- Dual board-certified child and adolescent psychiatry for ages 6 and up
- Evidence-based therapy, including CBT, DBT, and EMDR, delivered by licensed therapists
- Evaluation and treatment for ADHD, anxiety, depression, trauma, and mood disorders
- ADHD evaluations with school and accommodation support
- Family-inclusive treatment planning and ongoing medication management
Lyte Psychiatry is in-network with most major Texas insurance plans — including BlueCross BlueShield, UnitedHealthcare, Cigna, Aetna, Humana, Ambetter, Tricare, and Medicaid plans through Superior and Molina — and most insured patients pay between $0 and $30 per visit. Benefits are verified before the first appointment so families know their cost upfront, and no referral is required.
Appointments can be booked online at lytepsych.com or by calling (469) 733-0848.
