Therapy and psychiatry for Arlington

When you use both services at Lyte, your clinicians can coordinate the plan through one practice.
Mental Health Care in Arlington, TX
Arlington is the largest city in the DFW area without its own public transit system, which historically has made healthcare access difficult for many residents. Lyte Psychiatry's Pantego location at 2900 W Park Row Dr sits on the Arlington border, offering some of the most accessible in-person psychiatric care in Tarrant County. With UT Arlington's growing student population and Arlington's diverse working-class community, mental health demand is high and supply is limited.
In-Person Available
Our Pantego clinic at 2900 W Park Row Dr is under 5 miles from most of Arlington, a short drive with easy parking. In-person appointments are available Monday–Friday.

What to Expect at Lyte Psychiatry
Your first visit usually lasts 50 to 60 minutes. Your provider will ask about your symptoms, medical history, current medications and what you want help with. You will discuss possible diagnoses and treatment options together. If medication is appropriate, your provider can send the prescription to your pharmacy.
Follow-up appointments are usually shorter, often 20 to 30 minutes. These visits give you and your provider time to review side effects, discuss what has improved and decide whether your treatment needs to change.
Before your first appointment, our team checks your insurance benefits and explains the expected cost. You will continue seeing a consistent care team, and you can contact the practice if a medication concern comes up between scheduled visits.
Who will I actually see in Arlington?
