Burleson sits just south of Fort Worth, close enough that our clinic is a genuine option, far enough that most families still default to video after the first visit. We see a lot of Burleson ISD families - teen anxiety and ADHD around school transitions - and parents who book for the kid, then quietly book for themselves.
Insurance we see from Burleson: TRS-ActiveCare from the district, BlueCross and UHC from Fort Worth commutes, Aetna for the rest.
Getting seen: In person at Pantego, about 30 minutes up the interstate, or telehealth after school. Ages 6 and up.
In a crisis, call or text 988 any time. The public mental health authority for Johnson County is Pecan Valley Centers — a good option if you need immediate or low-cost local services beyond what we provide.

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 Burleson?
