Who We Help

A practice built for people navigating complex, high-stakes seasons of life.

At Pax Mentis Psychiatry, we care for children, adolescents, and adults who are seeking thoughtful, individualized psychiatric care that goes beyond symptom suppression. Our patients often come to us during periods of transition, vulnerability, or high responsibility — when mental health care needs to be precise, collaborative, and deeply respectful of their values.

We are a virtual, physician-led practice serving patients in Texas and California.

Perinatal & Reproductive Mental Health

For individuals navigating pregnancy, postpartum, fertility, or hormonal transitions.

We provide specialized psychiatric care for:

  • Pregnancy and postpartum mood and anxiety disorders

  • Medication decision-making during pregnancy and breastfeeding

  • PMDD and hormone-related mood changes

  • Fertility, loss, and reproductive transitions

Our approach integrates medical expertise with an understanding of the emotional, relational, and physiological dimensions of reproductive mental health.

Children & Adolescents

For children, teens, and families seeking developmentally informed psychiatric care.

We work with young people ages 4 and up who are experiencing:

  • Attention and executive-functioning challenges

  • Anxiety, depression, and mood instability

  • Behavioral and emotional regulation difficulties

  • School, learning, and social challenges

  • Trauma and stress-related symptoms

Care is family-informed, collaborative, and tailored to the child’s developmental stage and environment.

College Students & Young Adults

For individuals navigating academic, professional, and identity transitions.

We support young adults with:

  • ADHD, anxiety, and depression

  • Stress related to school, career, and performance

  • Sleep, focus, and emotional regulation concerns

Our telehealth model allows continuity of care across campuses and states (TX & CA).

Physicians & Healthcare Professionals

We provide psychiatric evaluation and medication management for physicians, trainees, and healthcare professionals experiencing:

  • Anxiety, depression, or trauma exposure

  • Sleep disturbance and cognitive fatigue

  • Mood, concentration, or performance-impacting symptoms

  • Professional and personal transitions

Care is designed to be discreet, efficient, and clinically rigorous, with an understanding of the unique demands of medical practice.

Adults Navigating Life Transitions

For individuals experiencing periods of change, stress, or recalibration.

We care for adults dealing with:

  • Career, relationship, or family transitions

  • Perinatal, parenting, and caregiving stress

  • Health-related or identity-related changes

  • Anxiety, depression, and trauma in the context of life stressors

Treatment focuses on diagnostic clarity and individualized psychiatric care aligned with each patient’s goals and values.

Who We May Not Be the Right Fit For

Pax Mentis Psychiatry is designed for individuals seeking:

  • Physician-led psychiatric evaluation and medication management

  • A thoughtful, collaborative, and integrative approach to mental health

  • A private, self-pay practice model

We may not be the right fit for those seeking:

  • Weekly or long-term psychotherapy as a primary service

  • Crisis or emergency services

  • Court-mandated, forensic, or disability-evaluation care

If our practice is not the appropriate setting for your needs, we encourage you to seek care through emergency services, community mental health resources, or another clinical provider better aligned with your goals.
