about us

Our holistic approach
to your well-being

Wellness Within Mental Health was co-founded by two passionate psychiatry providers who share a profound commitment to values rooted in empathy, respect, and collaboration. Our practice is grounded in the belief that mental health care extends beyond medication alone. Recognizing the importance of comprehensive, holistic approaches, we align on the principle that addressing the diverse needs of patients requires a nuanced blend of evidence-based practices and transformative lifestyle changes. This philosophy forms the cornerstone of our dedication to delivering client-centered and integrative mental health care.

Do you accept clients from all areas of Texas?

Since our practice is fully telehealth/virtual, we can accept clients from anywhere in Texas. Since we are licensed in Texas, we can only accept Texas residents. We can see you from anywhere in Texas, but both the provider and the client must be in Texas during their appointment times. Please avoid scheduling appointments when on vacation outside of Texas.

Do you offer in person visits?

We do not offer in person visits at this time, because our practice is fully virtual. In the future, we hope to open an in-person clinic in Austin, TX.

Do you see clients who are taking or might benefit from controlled substances?

Yes, we are able to prescribe certain controlled substances as advanced practice providers and with our supervising physician. Please note that our practice does not support high-dose or long term benzodiazepine treatment, but we are committed to assisting clients in safely tapering off these medications. Due to the risks of benzodiazepines, we prescribe them sparingly and only when lower risk alternatives are not appropriate. We will tailor our plan to the individual. For our clients with ADHD, we collaborate with our supervising physician to prescribe stimulants as needed.

Do you offer therapy without medication management?

No. As advanced practice providers, we only offer brief psychotherapy in the context of our medication management appointments. If a client does not need medication management or would benefit from more intensive and/or frequent therapy sessions, we will refer them to a licensed psychotherapist.

Can I choose to have my follow up be a phone call instead of a video?

Our visits must include video and audio, thus, we cannot have appointments over the phone. Please ensure your webcam/phone camera and microphone are working prior to your appointment time.

What is your policy on cancellations and no shows?

We require at least 48 hours (2 business days) notice for all canceled or rescheduled appointments. There is a fee associated with no shows, cancellations, or rescheduled appointments that fall within 48 hours of your original appointment time.

What is your policy on payments?

We ask clients to add a credit card on file prior to their initial evaluation. Copayments and fees will be collected prior to the visits with client consent. If the client has an outstanding balance, the client will be asked to complete payment prior to scheduling their next appointment.

How can I request medication refills?

Clients may request refills through the patient portal between appointments. Our providers will send over prescriptions during appointment times with refills to prevent running out of medications prior to the next appointment.

Does Wellness Within take insurance?

Yes! We are currently in network with Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna, Aetna, United Healthcare, and Optum.

Does Wellness Within take self-pay clients?

For clients who do not wish to use insurance, clients may choose our self-pay option. An initial psychiatric evaluation for new clients is $300 and a standard follow up visit is $150.
