Perhaps concentration problems are interfering with your school work, or racing thoughts and a lack of sleep are making it nearly impossible for you to function. Sometimes talk therapy isn’t enough — this is where psychiatry services can help. Psychiatry can help with a variety of conditions, including depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, schizophrenia, and more.

Taking the next step and scheduling an appointment with a psychiatrist can open the door to healing. It can bring a sense of relief to see someone who truly understands the connection between mental and physical health.

Seeing a psychiatrist can bring a sense of hope and empowerment. When your symptoms are better managed, you have more emotional space and energy to focus on the parts of life that matter most, such as your daily routines, relationships, work, and passions. Psychiatric care isn’t about “fixing” you. It’s about supporting your well-being so you can thrive.

Psychiatrists are medical doctors who specialize in diagnosing and treating mental health conditions. Unlike therapists, psychiatrists have advanced medical training that enables them to deeply understand how mental health and physical health intersect. This allows them to prescribe medication.

When you begin psychiatry services at Deep Centered Mental Health, you will receive a thorough psychiatric evaluation. We’ll look at what you’re experiencing and consider whether medication could play a role in helping you feel better.

We’ll work collaboratively to develop a treatment plan for you. We’ll explore all possible options. Medication may be part of the plan, but it’s always discussed in the context of your goals and how comfortable you are with it. If medication is part of your plan, we start at a low dose and adjust as needed. Follow-ups focus on how you’re responding and whether changes are needed.

We also have many clients who come to us who are already on medication. If that is the case, we’ll review your current prescriptions, make adjustments if needed, and continue care safely so treatment isn’t interrupted. Many people benefit the most from a combination of medication and therapy. Our psychiatrists and therapists collaborate so our approach to your care is fully aligned and consistent.

Why It Can Be Hard To Reach Out

One of the biggest barriers is stigma. Even though conversations about mental health have become more open in recent years, there is still the belief, especially in certain cultures, that seeing a psychiatrist means that something is seriously wrong with you. However, getting psychiatric care is similar to seeing a specialist for your physical health.

Many people are uncertain about what to expect. You may wonder what the appointment will be like, or whether medication will be “forced” on you. Perhaps you’ve had a difficult experience in the past. Our providers will answer your questions, explain options, and give you space to make choices that fit your comfort level.

A Professional Perspective On Psychiatric Care

Brent Jakubec, MD

Board Certified Psychiatrist

As a child, adolescent, and adult psychiatrist, my practice is characterized by a commitment to evidence-based treatments, empathetic communication, and collaboration with patients to create personalized treatment plans. By offering a continuum of care across the lifespan, I play a crucial role in supporting individuals as they navigate the complexities of mental health, promoting lasting well-being and improved quality of life. In other words, we can work together for as long as you’d like (as long as you are in Texas!).

I provide new prescriptions, ongoing medication management, and therapy services for all of my clients. Whether you are looking to try medication for the first time or hoping to titrate off of something you are currently prescribed, I am here for you.

Therapeutic Approaches We Use

These are just some of the methods your therapist may use, depending on what you need:

Medication management: Medication management can help alleviate symptoms and restore a balanced mental state. Your psychiatrist will offer ongoing monitoring and support to ensure that your medication continues to work for you.
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS): This treatment uses gentle magnetic pulses to stimulate areas of the brain that are involved with emotion. TMS is non-invasive and gentle. It’s often recommended for people who have treatment-resistant depression. It can also be helpful for those who haven’t found enough relief from medication or therapy alone.
Psychotherapy: Psychotherapy sessions offer a confidential space to explore thoughts and feelings, fostering self-awareness and coping skills. Your psychiatrist will work alongside your therapist so your care feels connected and consistent.
Lifestyle adjustments: Making small but intentional changes to daily habits, such as reducing alcohol use, improving sleep routines, and getting regular exercise, can have a powerful impact on mental health. These adjustments often work hand-in-hand with medications and other therapeutic treatments to support lasting wellness.
Psychoeducation: Understanding your diagnosis can empower you to take a more active role in your treatment. Your psychiatrist can provide education, guidance, and tools to help you navigate mental health challenges. They will take the time to explain how medications work and what you can expect, so you feel informed and in control.

What issues can psychiatry help with?

Psychiatry can address a wide range of mental health conditions, including mood disorders like depression and bipolar disorder, anxiety disorders, ADHD, trauma-related conditions, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), sleep disorders, and more. Psychiatrists assess symptoms, provide diagnoses, and create personalized treatment plans to help individuals manage their mental health effectively.

What is the difference between psychiatry and therapy?

Psychiatrists are medical doctors who specialize in diagnosing and treating mental health conditions, primarily through medication management. Therapists, including psychologists and counselors, provide talk therapy, helping individuals develop coping strategies, process emotions, and work through challenges. Often, a combination of both psychiatry and therapy leads to the best treatment outcomes, as medication can help stabilize symptoms while therapy provides tools for long-term mental wellness.

Is online psychiatry as effective as in-person?

Yes! Telehealth psychiatry provides the same quality care as in-person visits with added convenience. Studies have shown that online psychiatry is just as effective for many conditions, allowing patients to receive care from the comfort of their homes. Virtual sessions also eliminate travel time, making it easier to stay consistent with treatment. Our providers ensure that telehealth appointments are secure, confidential, and just as personalized as in-office visits.

How do I know if I need psychiatry or just therapy?

Determining the right level of care depends on your symptoms and mental health needs. If you are experiencing severe mood swings, persistent anxiety, intrusive thoughts, or difficulty functioning in daily life, psychiatry may be beneficial. If you’re struggling with emotional distress, life transitions, or relationship issues, therapy might be a good starting point. During your consultation, our team will assess your situation and recommend the best approach—whether that’s therapy, medication, or a combination of both.

Is everything I discuss with my psychiatrist confidential?

Yes. Everything you share with your psychiatrist is confidential, except in cases where there is a risk of harm to yourself or others, or when required by law.

Do you accept insurance for your psychiatric services?

Yes. We work with many major insurance providers to make our psychiatric services more accessible.
