Psychiatric care for Carrollton that takes its time.

No — and we'd rather tell you that plainly than imply otherwise. Sound Minds has one office, at 2100 N Hwy 360, Ste 405B in Grand Prairie, about 30 minutes from most of Carrollton straight down the President George Bush Turnpike. Most of our Carrollton patients never make that drive: evaluations, medication management and therapy are all delivered by secure video anywhere in Texas. Come in person when you prefer to, or when a service such as SPRAVATO® or the BrainView scan requires it.

Most new patients are seen within days, not the six-to-eight weeks many North Dallas practices quote. We hold weekday evening and Saturday appointments and see Carrollton patients by secure video statewide, so you're not waiting for one mid-morning opening. Book online or call (817) 755-5707.

Yes. We're in-network with 20+ plans, including United Healthcare, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna, Aetna, Anthem, Optum, Oscar, Oxford, Medicare and Medicaid — the plans most Carrollton households in 75006, 75007 and 75010 carry. Send your plan details to Info@soundmindspsych.com and we'll verify your benefits before your first visit. Transparent self-pay rates are available if you'd rather not use insurance.

For most care, yes. Evaluations, medication management and therapy all happen over secure video at the same clinical standard as an office visit — from home, a locked office door at lunch, or anywhere else private in Texas. The only requirement is that you're physically in Texas at appointment time. In-person visits to Grand Prairie are needed only for SPRAVATO® treatment and the BrainView neural scan, or whenever you'd simply rather meet face to face.

Yes. We pair a structured clinical interview with Creyos cognitive testing, which measures attention, working memory and executive function objectively in about 25 minutes. That matters most for adults who've compensated for years — project managers, nurses, engineers, small-business owners — whose symptoms a five-minute checklist tends to miss. We also prepare accommodations documentation when an employer or school asks for it.

Treatment-resistant depression is a large part of our practice. GeneSight shows how your body is likely to metabolize specific medications, the BrainView neural scan adds objective brain-activity data, and our certified SPRAVATO® (esketamine) treatment center offers a genuinely different mechanism for people who haven't responded to two or more antidepressants. Every plan is overseen with our supervising psychiatrist, Dr. Azeza Uddin, MD.

Your records are protected health information under HIPAA. We don't release them to an employer, a school, a partner or a family member without your written authorization, apart from the narrow situations the law requires — our Notice of Privacy Practices spells those out. Video visits mean no waiting room and no car parked outside a clinic on Josey Lane, and appointments outside business hours are available if that's simpler. Documentation for an employer or licensing board is prepared only at your request, and you see it first.

Yes. We work with adolescents, college students and adults across Carrollton and its school communities — anxiety, depression, ADHD, OCD, trauma and sleep problems. For a minor, a parent or guardian consents and stays part of the plan, while the appointment still leaves room for the teenager to talk. Call (817) 755-5707 and we'll tell you honestly whether we're the right fit or whether a specialist referral would serve your family better.

A psychiatric provider diagnoses conditions and prescribes and adjusts medication; a therapist works through patterns and skills in structured talk sessions. Many people do best with both. You don't have to decide alone: a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation sorts out which you actually need, and Sound Minds offers medication management and therapy under one roof — by video across Texas or in person in Grand Prairie — so nothing gets lost between two offices.

Plan for about an hour. Your provider goes through what brought you in, your history, sleep, medical background and anything you've already tried, then explains a working diagnosis in plain language. You leave with a written plan — medication, therapy, testing such as GeneSight or Creyos, or a combination — and a scheduled follow-up to adjust it. Bring your insurance card, a list of current medications and any past records you have.
