TMS, Ketamine & Therapy, Coordinated Into One Plan
Proven Protocols, Tracked Outcomes
At Houston Mind & Brain, psychotherapy is grounded in careful evaluation and a clear understanding of your goals. We use practical, evidence-based approaches to help you make meaningful progress—whether therapy is used on its own or as part of a broader plan of care.
When Is a Psychiatric Consultation Helpful?
A psychiatric consultation can provide a clear, structured understanding of your situation—including medical history, prior treatments, and current symptoms.
This broader view helps us identify the most appropriate next step, whether that’s psychotherapy, medication, or another approach.
In some cases, it also helps rule out underlying medical or medication-related factors that may be contributing to symptoms.
Who Performs Consults & Therapy
Psychiatric consultations are provided by licensed psychiatric clinicians, including nurse practitioners and physicians. These extended evaluations allow your clinician to carefully review your history, understand your goals, and recommend the most appropriate level of care.
Psychotherapy is provided by licensed therapists within a coordinated, team-based model. Clinicians receive ongoing training and participate in case review to ensure care is consistent, thoughtful, and supported by clinical oversight.
Psychotherapy at Houston Mind & Brain
Practical, evidence-based, emotion-focused work
Therapy is goal-directed and focused on helping you make meaningful changes—reducing symptoms, improving day-to-day functioning, and addressing patterns that may be keeping you stuck.
Multiple evidence-informed approaches
We use a range of evidence-informed approaches, including solution-focused and attachment-based therapy, depending on your needs, goals, and preferences.
Integrated care
Therapy can be provided on its own or coordinated with other aspects of care, with communication across the team to support consistency and progress.
Who We Help
We provide evaluations and therapy for people with a wide range of concerns, including:
Major depressive disorder
Obsessive-compulsive disorder
Anxiety and trauma-related disorders
Cognitive complaints and post-injury cognitive issues.
We welcome adults and families seeking non-drug options, faster relief, or an integrated plan that pairs psychotherapy with medication or procedural treatments.
What to Expect During Psychotherapy
We verify your insurance coverage and collect essential information to get you started. This step is brief and designed to make your first visit efficient and straightforward.
Benefits check & intake
In some cases, a psychiatric consultation is recommended to better understand your history, symptoms, and goals. This allows us to determine the most appropriate path forward—whether that includes psychotherapy, another treatment, or a combination of approaches.
Initial psychiatric consult/evaluation
Your first session focuses on understanding your situation, your goals, and what’s been getting in the way. From there, therapy is structured and practical—focused on helping you make meaningful changes and improve day-to-day functioning.
Therapy start or treatment plan
Your care is reviewed regularly to ensure it remains aligned, consistent, and effective over time.
When appropriate, communication across the team helps coordinate therapy, medication, and other treatments.
Ongoing coordination
Pricing & Insurance
Psychotherapy and psychiatric services are often covered by insurance. Houston Mind & Brain verifies benefits, explains expected copays or coinsurance, and provides receipts for out-of-network claims.
We also offer transparent self-pay pricing and provide written estimates for non-standard services.
Standard 1-hour individual psychotherapy sessions are $160, and family therapy sessions are $280. If using insurance, your out-of-pocket cost will vary by plan. Written estimates are provided in advance.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you accept insurance?
Yes — most psychotherapy and psychiatric services are covered. We verify your benefits and provide receipts for out-of-network claims.
How long is a therapy consultation?
Therapy sessions are typically scheduled for 60 minutes, though the exact duration may vary slightly.
Will my psychiatrist, therapist, and procedural team coordinate?
Yes. We use a coordinated, team-based model with routine case reviews so psychotherapy, medication, and treatments like TMS or Spravato are planned together for safety and effectiveness.
Do you offer virtual sessions?
Yes. We offer virtual psychotherapy sessions. Depending on your needs and preferences, sessions can be conducted either in person or by telehealth.
What conditions do you treat in therapy?
We work with a range of mental health concerns, including depression, anxiety, OCD, personality-related difficulties, and related conditions. Many of our patients have not fully responded to prior treatment and are seeking a more comprehensive, coordinated approach.
I have greatly benefited from the services of Houston Mind & Brain. I would encourage anyone seeking neurological or psychiatric treatment to visit them. I have particularly benefited most from their TMS treatment. It has changed my life for the better in so many ways. They have knowledgeable and friendly staff and providers who really do care about your health and because they are a smaller office you really do get that personal connection with the providers and staff. Highly recommend!

We Accept Insurance and Make Care Affordable
We accept most major plans for FDA-cleared treatments (including standard TMS and Spravato). We verify benefits, manage prior authorization, and provide a written estimate before treatment so there are no surprises.
Do you accept Medicaid?
No - we accept Medicare but do not accept Medicaid. If you have questions about coverage, call our team and we’ll help.
Will my insurance cover TMS?
Many commercial plans cover standard TMS when medical-necessity criteria are met. Accelerated/fast-track TMS is often self-pay. We verify benefits and submit prior authorization on your behalf.
What if I’m out of network?
This is uncommon because we are credentialed with most plans. If needed, we can provide a superbill for out-of-network reimbursement.
How do I get a written estimate?
Request a free 20-minute expert call. We’ll run a benefits check, explain likely coverage, and send a written estimate of patient responsibility before any treatment.
Can I get sliding scale pricing for TMS?
Yes. We offer sliding scale pricing for eligible patients and can provide a written cost estimate before treatment. To be considered, we’ll ask for proof of income, such as tax documents.
At this time, sliding scale pricing is not available for Medicare patients or for accelerated TMS protocols.
