Fort Worth is the 12th-largest city in the United States, and it has its own identity, separate from Dallas in ways that matter to locals. Tarrant County's diverse population, from TCU students to Blue-collar workers in the Stockyards district to suburban families in Southlake, has a wide range of psychiatric needs. Despite the city's size, in-person psychiatric wait times in Fort Worth are often long. We see Fort Worth and Tarrant County patients both in-person at our Pantego clinic and via telehealth. Most major insurance plans accepted.

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 Fort Worth?
You are matched with a named clinician and a consistent care team. Every provider is licensed in Texas when treating patients located in that state.
