Mental Health Care That Feels Different
Psychiatric medication management in Texas built on real conversations, true partnership, and results that matter to you.
How I Work
I practice psychiatry the way I wish it had been practiced when I needed it. That means honest conversations, realistic expectations, and care that respects where you're at right now.
It's a Partnership
This isn't about me telling you what to do. We work together to figure out what's helping, what's not, and where to go next. You know your life—I bring the clinical expertise. Together, we make decisions that actually make sense for you.
I've Been There
I'm not just a provider who studied this in a textbook. I've navigated depression, anxiety, trauma, and neurodivergence myself. That lived experience shapes how I show up in the room with you. I get it in a way that goes beyond credentials.
No Performance Required
Show up as yourself, not your "best behavior" version. I'm loud, I laugh, I might curse. You don't need to be polished or have it all together. This is a space where you can be real, messy, human—exactly as you are right now.
A Safe Space for All
If you're LGBTQ+, trans, Black, Brown, or part of a marginalized community—you belong here. Safe, affirming care that respects who you are shouldn't be exceptional. It should be standard.
What I Offer
I provide psychiatric medication management for adults across Texas via telepsychiatry. All appointments are secure video visits—no office, no waiting room, just you and me.
Initial Evaluation (60 minutes)
We'll spend an hour getting to know each other, reviewing your history, and figuring out what's going on. This is where we build the foundation and create a plan that makes sense for you.
Follow-Up Appointments (30 or 60 minutes)
Regular check-ins to see how treatment is working, adjust medications as needed, and make sure you're getting the support you need. We'll talk through what's helping, what's not, and where to go from here.
ADHD Assessment
A thorough evaluation process that includes objective testing when needed. If you're interested in stimulant medication, testing is required. We'll review results together and discuss all treatment options.
About Amanda
I'm a dual board-certified nurse practitioner in both family medicine and psychiatry, with over 13 years of nursing experience across ERs, ICUs, and mental health settings. I understand how physical and mental health connect—and how they impact every part of your life.
Here's what sets me apart: I've navigated depression, anxiety, trauma, and neurodivergence myself. I've sat in the patient's chair, wondering if the person across from me actually gets it. That experience completely shapes how I show up for my patients.
I started Break the Stigma Psychiatry because I wanted to create the kind of care I needed but couldn't always find—honest, collaborative, and actually human.
Outside of work, I'm a wife and mom to three kids. I crochet when I need to decompress, I'm obsessed with crime shows, and I'm proud to say I've watched every episode of Criminal Minds starting at season 1 episode 1.
