Your Path to Personalized Care
At Stela Psychiatry, we offer comprehensive psychiatric care with an integrative, personalized approach. Our goal is to support your mental, emotional, and physical well-being through evidence-based treatments and whole-person care.
Initial Psychiatric Evaluation
A 60–90 minute comprehensive diagnostic evaluation to assess your current concerns, medical and mental health history, and treatment goals. This session provides the foundation for a collaborative and personalized care plan.
Medication Management
Ongoing psychiatric care that includes careful monitoring of medications, side effects, and symptom changes. We integrate lifestyle and non-pharmacological approaches when appropriate. We collaborate with your other health care professionals as needed.
Psychotherapy
Psychodynamic psychotherapy and supportive, insight-oriented approaches to help you process life transitions, reduce emotional distress, and build resilience. Sessions may also include tools from CBT, mindfulness, and coaching frameworks.
Integrative Psychiatry
We take a whole-person view of mental health, incorporating nutrition, sleep, movement, and stress regulation into treatment planning. This may include recommendations aligned with nutritional psychiatry, mind-body practices, and nervous system support.
Mental Health Coaching
For those seeking mindset growth, emotional clarity, or support through burnout and life transitions. Coaching helps build awareness, motivation, and aligned action without a formal diagnosis or medication focus.
Women's Mental Health
Specialized care for women navigating hormonal transitions, burnout, motherhood, menopause, and identity shifts. We provide compassionate support through the 30s, 40s, 50s, and beyond.
Telepsychiatry
Appointments are secure virtual visits available for Texas residents, offering flexibility and continuity of care from the comfort of your home or office.
