Unhurried psychiatry for West 7th, the Cultural District and TCU.

No — and we'd rather say so plainly than imply otherwise. Sound Minds has one office, at 2100 N Hwy 360, Ste 405B in Grand Prairie, roughly 25 minutes east of West 7th on I-30 outside of rush hour. Most of our West 7th, Cultural District and TCU-area patients never make that drive: evaluations, medication management and therapy are all offered by secure video anywhere in Texas. Come to Grand Prairie when you want to be seen in person, or when a service such as SPRAVATO® or BrainView requires it.

Most new patients are seen within days rather than the months quoted by many Fort Worth practices. We hold weekday evening and Saturday appointments and offer video visits statewide, so a single mid-morning opening isn't the only way in. Book online or call (817) 755-5707.

We're in-network with 20+ plans, including United Healthcare, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna, Aetna, Anthem, Optum, Oscar, Oxford, Medicare and Medicaid. A lot of people in 76107 and 76109 assume unhurried psychiatric care has to be out-of-network and paid in full; it doesn't. 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.

Yes. Video visits work from a dorm, an apartment off Berry Street or a quiet room at home, and you keep the same provider through the semester rather than restarting each term. One requirement: you must be physically located in Texas at the time of the appointment, because that's where our providers are licensed. If you go home out of state for the summer, tell us early and we'll plan the medication schedule around it.

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 — graduate students, attorneys, physicians, founders — whose symptoms a five-minute checklist tends to miss. We also prepare accommodations documentation when a university or employer 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, and appointments outside business hours are available if that's simpler. Documentation for a licensing board or employer is prepared only at your request, and you see it first.

Yes. We work with adolescents, college students and adults across Fort Worth — anxiety, depression, ADHD, OCD, trauma and sleep problems. For a minor, a parent or guardian consents and is 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.
