Two ways to reach the same clinician
Each wayclinician
Same evaluation, same prescriptions, same notes. One route costs you the better part of an hour round trip; the other costs you the appointment and nothing else.
Three steps, none of them waiting.
You have already done the difficult part, which is deciding to look. What follows is kept short on purpose: the number of steps between deciding and being seen is what determines whether most people ever get there.
Choose a time
Book online in about a minute, or call (817) 755‑5707 and say which hours are genuinely free. Tell us whether you want video, in person, or have not decided yet.
We verify the benefit
Before the first visit, the office checks your behavioral-health coverage , which is rarely the same as your medical benefit , so the cost is known in advance rather than arriving on a statement.
You are seen, usually within days
A full evaluation rather than a fifteen-minute triage. You finish it with a plan in hand and a clear idea of who to contact between appointments.
No desk between you. The first appointment is scheduled long because a psychiatric history cannot be taken at speed.
Ready for the first visit?
Nothing is sentTick what you already have. None of it is required to book , it just makes the first hour count for more.
Four things that make up most of what we do.
Psychiatry is often presented as a long menu. In practice nearly every DeSoto patient is here for one of these four, and the rest of the list exists for the cases where these have already been tried.
Psychiatric evaluations
The appointment everything else rests on, and the one most often hurried elsewhere. We take the whole history , the course over time, every prior trial and why it ended, sleep, substances, and the load you are actually carrying , and then tell you what we think it is, in words you would use yourself.
In person or by video, for adults and adolescents. If a diagnosis handed to you years ago has never quite fitted, this is where it gets re-examined rather than inherited.
Read moreMedication management
Prescribing, and then the part that decides whether it works: reviewing it. Doses move on evidence rather than inertia, side effects are treated as information instead of something to put up with, and anything that has run unchanged for years gets asked about again.
Read moreTherapy & counseling
Structured talking therapy alongside prescribing, so the two are not being run by strangers to each other.
Read moreTelehealth psychiatry
HIPAA-compliant video to any address in Texas. Nothing recorded, no waiting room, and no hour on I‑20 attached to a twenty-minute review.
Read moreWhat people in 75115 actually come in with.
Almost nobody arrives with a neat label. They arrive with a description , a year that has been harder than it should have been, sleep that stopped working, a temper that no longer matches the provocation. Turning that into something treatable is the job.
Anxiety & panic disorders
The most common reason adults here book, and the one most often mistaken for a personality. Anxiety that performs well at work is still anxiety; it simply earns its keep, which is why it goes untreated for a decade while quietly taking your sleep, your patience and most of your evenings.
A panic attack in traffic on I‑35E or in a boardroom is not evidence that you are coming apart. It is a treatable symptom with a well-documented response, and the response is not gritting your teeth.
Read moreDepression
It rarely introduces itself as sadness. More often it is flatness, a shortening fuse and the slow disappearance of things you used to look forward to , noticed by the people around you some months before you put a name to it yourself.
Read moreTreatment-resistant depression
Two adequate trials, no adequate response. That is a recognised clinical category with its own pathway , not proof that you are the problem.
Read moreADHD in adults & teens
Measured with Creyos rather than guessed from a checklist any exhausted adult would fail.
Read morePTSD & trauma recovery
For first responders, veterans, and anyone carrying something that has not stayed in the past where it belongs.
Read moreBipolar disorders
Often treated as depression alone for years, because the elevated stretches felt like productivity rather than illness.
Read moreOCD
Intrusive thoughts and the rituals built to quiet them. Treatable, and far more common than the silence around it suggests.
Read moreInsomnia & sleep disorders
Sleep is not a side issue that clears up once the mood lifts , very often it is the lever that lifts it. Waking at three every morning is a clinical finding, and it is treated as one here rather than answered with another prescription that stops working in a fortnight.
Read moreGeneral mental health
Burnout, grief, a diagnosis that has never been reviewed, or simply a year that has gone badly enough to warrant a professional opinion. You do not need a name for it before you book , finding the name is what the first visit is for.
Read moreFour ways to stop guessing.
If two or three medications have already come and gone, the useful next step is almost never a fourth drawn from the same hat. It is information the earlier attempts did not have.
GeneSight genetic testing
A cheek swab that reports how your genes affect the way you metabolise particular psychiatric compounds. It does not choose the medication for you , anyone who says it does is overselling it , but it narrows the field considerably, and it explains a great many "this one made me feel terrible at a normal dose" stories.
Read moreCreyos cognitive testing for ADHD
Measured attention, working memory and processing speed, scored against normative data. It is the difference between an adult ADHD assessment and a questionnaire nearly every overextended forty-year-old fails , and it is just as good at separating genuine ADHD from anxiety wearing its clothes.
Read moreBrainView neural scan
A non-invasive recording of neural activity, used as one more objective input where the clinical picture is genuinely ambiguous.
Read moreSPRAVATO (esketamine)
For treatment-resistant depression, once two adequate trials have failed. It is administered on site and monitored afterwards , the one part of care that cannot happen at your kitchen island , and we are a certified treatment center for it. For a number of people it has been the first thing that worked.
Read moreVideo or in person , both are real appointments.
Nothing about a video visit is a lesser version of the other. Same clinician, same length, same notes, same prescriptions. The only difference is whether you also spend an hour on I‑20.
Secure video, anywhere in Texas
How most DeSoto patients actually receive their care. HIPAA-compliant, built for clinical use rather than ordinary consumer video chat, and nothing is recorded. You need a phone, tablet or laptop and a door that closes.
It works from a home office off Wintergreen, from a parked car between meetings downtown, and from a hotel room on a work trip. Evaluations, therapy and the large majority of prescribing all run this way.
Our one office , 2100 N Hwy 360, Ste 405B, Grand Prairie, TX 75050.
In person, in Grand Prairie
There is one office and we will not pretend otherwise: 2100 N Hwy 360, Ste 405B, Grand Prairie, TX 75050, about half an hour from DeSoto by way of I‑20 west and SH‑360 north. Free parking, and a waiting room with nobody from your street in it.
Worth the drive for a first evaluation if you would rather meet in the same room, and required for SPRAVATO, which is administered and monitored on site.
A small team, on purpose.
Board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioners with a supervising psychiatrist behind them. Small enough that the person who evaluates you is the person you keep seeing, and that the office knows who you are when you call.

The person who verifies your benefit, finds the slot that works, and picks up the phone when you call about a refill.
What care looks like for Best Southwest patients.
A referral had been sitting in my inbox for a year because every practice I called quoted a wait into the next quarter. Here I was seen the same week, on a Thursday at five, and I did not have to tell the whole story twice.
Two prescribers, four medications, and nobody had ever asked why the first one stopped working. The genetic test answered that in a couple of weeks, and the plan we built afterwards was the first one I actually understood.
Every slot we were offered for my daughter collided with practice, and driving to Grand Prairie at four o'clock was never going to happen twice. A video visit at 4:30 solved a problem I had privately given up on.
* Illustrative stories, written to show how care typically runs; names and details are not those of real patients. Individual results vary.
In-network with 20+ plans , and we check before you come.
A behavioral-health benefit almost never matches the medical benefit on the same card, which is why we verify yours rather than estimate it. Self-pay rates are published for anyone who would rather no claim existed at all.
22 carriers in-network. Start typing to check yours.
Ask us to run it first
Coverage still depends on your individual policy, so let the office verify it before the first visit. It takes a few minutes and removes the one genuinely unpleasant surprise in this process.
If you would rather keep this off a claim entirely, self-pay is straightforward and the rates are published.
DeSoto, and the whole Best Southwest.
