Houston Psychiatrist - Board Certified
Dr. Heathman, Dr. Keller, and Dr. Hinthorn are board-certified psychiatrists in Houston, TX who are committed to helping you achieve lasting mental wellness and a better quality of life. We begin every journey with a detailed initial psychiatric evaluation tailored to your unique concerns. Each patient is approached with compassion and clinical expertise, allowing us to form a collaborative relationship rooted in trust and open communication. From there, we create a personalized treatment plan that may include lifestyle changes, nutritional support, talk therapy, medication, and diagnostic testing. Our experienced Houston psychiatrists are trained to treat children (ages 3+), teens, and adults. We have particular expertise in adolescent psychiatry to help teenagers through a difficult time in life.
Our mental health clinic specializes in treating many conditions including but not limited to:
We believe psychiatric treatment should involve meaningful time with each patient to ensure an accurate diagnosis and effective treatment plan. Our comprehensive initial evaluations range from 50 to 90 minutes, followed by focused 25-minute follow-up appointments to assess treatment response and monitor for side effects. Our goal is to minimize or eliminate side effects whenever possible. If you're looking for a psychiatrist in Houston, our experienced team of psychiatrists and licensed counselors are currently accepting new patients with longer appointment times than insurance based practices.
Our team includes highly trained Houston psychiatrists specialized in child and adolescent psychiatry and adult psychiatry. Child and adolescent psychiatry focuses on diagnosing and treating mental health conditions such as ADHD, depression, and anxiety in young patients using a comprehensive approach that may include medication management and support for families. A child psychiatrist is a medical doctor who has completed two additional years of specialized training in patients under 18, following three years of adult psychiatry training. This extensive education benefits not only our young patients but also enhances care for adults by providing deeper insight into how mental health evolves across the lifespan.
Our psychiatry clinic in Houston is highly regarded and consistently recognized by local and statewide publications. We are the preferred psychiatric clinic for Cy-Fair ISD which includes all CyFair schools. Houstonia Magazine and Texas Monthly have named our clinicians among the top psychiatrists in Texas. Our Houston psychiatrists are regularly sought out by national media outlets to provide expert commentary on mental health topics. You can view examples of these published features in the graphics below.
With the convenience of telepsychiatry (online psychiatry), our patients can stay connected to their trusted Houston psychiatrist no matter where they are in Texas. Many of our adolescent and college-aged patients rely on this service as they transition to universities such as the University of Texas at Austin, Texas A&M in College Station, TCU in Fort Worth, Baylor University in Waco, University of Houston, UTEP in El Paso, and others. During a phase of life filled with change, maintaining continuity with a trusted psychiatrist provides essential stability and reassurance.
As many online-only mental health platforms reduce services or discharge ADHD patients due to changing regulations, having a reliable local option like our mental health clinic is more important than ever. With laws rapidly evolving, particularly around ADHD treatment, we stay current on legislative changes to continue providing consistent ADHD care in Houston and surrounding areas. We work closely with local pharmacies to support medication accessibility, ensuring that your treatment is not disrupted by external changes.

Benefits of In-Person Psychiatric Care
While we offer the convenience of telepsychiatry, many patients find that in-person care provides unique advantages for their mental health journey.

Houston Psychiatrist FAQ
How much training do Psychiatrists get?
Psychiatrists are medical doctors who complete over 15,000 hours of clinical training through medical school and residency. This includes about 6,000 hours during medical school and over 9,000 hours during a four-year psychiatry residency, where we learn to diagnose and treat a wide range of mental health conditions. At our Houston clinic, we apply this deep expertise to each patient, combining medical knowledge with evidence-based care. Research shows that patients who begin mental health treatment with a psychiatrist are more likely to receive an accurate diagnosis early on, which can lead to better treatment outcomes and fewer hospitalizations over time.
Should I see a psychiatrist or a therapist?
Psychiatrists and therapists often work together to provide the most effective mental health care. A psychiatrist focuses on diagnosing conditions, managing medications, and monitoring physical symptoms that may be linked to mental health. A therapist provides regular talk therapy, helping you work through emotional challenges naturally through building coping skills. When these professionals collaborate, treatment is more complete with combined medical expertise and consistent emotional support. At our Houston psychiatry clinic, we frequently coordinate with therapists to ensure patients receive well-rounded care. This team-based approach often leads to faster progress, fewer setbacks, and more lasting improvements in mental health.
Are your clinicians trained locally?
Yes! Our clinicians grew up and trained in Texas. They live locally and understand what you are going through. Our physicians and counselors have trained at University of Texas, Texas A&M, Texas Tech Health Sciences Center, Texas Christian University, Sam Houston State University, and University of Houston.
