Care for every stage of life
We treat patients from age 6 through late life, and we take the differences between those ages seriously. A 9-year-old’s ADHD evaluation, a college student’s first panic attack, and an 80-year-old’s medication review are three different visits that call for three different kinds of care.
Pick the stage that fits below. Each page explains what we treat at that age, how visits work, and what to expect — and we’ll match you with a provider who works with that age group every week, not once a year.

Children (Ages 6–12)
ADHD evaluations, big anxiety in small people, and school problems that turn out to be something treatable. Parents stay in the room and in the loop at every step.
Teens & Adolescents
Mood changes that crossed a line, school refusal, ADHD, anxiety. We talk to teens like people, and we keep parents involved the right amount for the age.
College Students
First panic attacks, prescriptions that lapsed with the move, focus that fell apart sophomore year. Visits fit between classes and carry through summer break.
Working Professionals
Fine on paper, running on fumes. Discreet evaluations, medication care, and appointment times that fit around a work calendar instead of fighting it.
Pregnancy & Postpartum
Mental health through pregnancy and the first year after. Medication decisions weighed carefully with you — real risk-benefit conversations, not brochure answers.
Older Adults
Late-life depression, grief, memory worries, and long medication lists that finally get one prescriber looking at the whole picture.
Veterans & Military
PTSD, transition stress, and deployment-shaped family life. Care that respects your service and your schedule. Tricare accepted.
What stays the same at every age
The same team treats every stage: board-certified psychiatrists, psychiatric nurse practitioners, and licensed therapists, sharing one chart. You see the same provider at every visit. Most insured patients pay a $0–$30 copay, and most new patients — at any age — are seen within one to two business days.
Visits happen in person at our clinic in Pantego, in the Dallas–Fort Worth area, or by video anywhere in Texas and New Mexico. Families often mix the two.
What changes — and why it matters
Medication is not one-size-fits-all across a lifetime. Dosing, side-effect risks, and which medications are appropriate at all shift meaningfully between a child, a pregnant patient, and someone in their eighties on six other prescriptions. That is why we match you to a provider who works with your age group routinely.
Consent and privacy shift too: parents lead care for children, share it with teens, and step back at 18 — unless their adult child chooses otherwise. We explain the rules for your situation before the first visit, not after a surprise.
Questions families actually ask
Do parents sit in on a child's or teen's appointment?
For children 6–12, yes — a parent or guardian is part of every visit. For teens, we usually split the time: some with the parent present, some one-on-one, because teens say more when they have room to. Parents always hear the plan, the diagnosis, and any medication decision.
My student is away at school in another Texas city. Can you still treat them?
Yes. Telehealth works anywhere in Texas or New Mexico, so care continues whether they are in a dorm in Lubbock or home for the summer in Dallas. For students under 18, we handle consent with you before the first visit.
Can different people in one family see Lyte?
Yes, and it happens often — a parent books for a child, then books for themselves. Every patient gets their own chart, their own provider relationship, and their own confidentiality. We never discuss one family member's care with another without written consent.
What changes when my teen turns 18?
At 18 their records become private to them, even from parents, unless they sign a release. Nothing else has to change — same provider, same medication plan. We flag the transition ahead of time so nobody is surprised by it.
Not sure which stage fits?
Plenty of situations straddle two — a 17-year-old leaving for college, an adult who has suspected ADHD since childhood. Book under whichever is closest, or call (469) 733-0848 and a real person will point you to the right provider.
