Care in Frisco
Real psychiatry, without the local waitlist
A city that grows this fast outruns its infrastructure in predictable ways, and mental health care is one of them: new neighborhoods arrive years before new psychiatrists do. Families who relocated here for the schools and the jobs find that the nearest available appointment is months out or somewhere down the tollway.
shrinkMD scales with the city. You meet a board certified clinician licensed in Texas by secure video from your home near the Star, your office along the Dallas North Tollway, or anywhere private, usually within days of booking.
Relocation itself is a clinical event: new schools, new jobs, no local support network. We treat the adjustment stress, anxiety, depression, and insomnia that come with it, plus the full adult outpatient range, with one consistent clinician and measured progress.
What we treat
Conditions we treat

Frequently asked questions
Good questions, clear answers
Is telepsychiatry available in Frisco?
Yes. shrinkMD provides licensed online psychiatry for adults across Texas, including Frisco, by secure video, with evaluations usually available as soon as availability allows.
Do you prescribe controlled medication in Frisco?
No. shrinkMD does not prescribe controlled substances anywhere, including stimulants and benzodiazepines. We are upfront about this and effective with the evidence based alternatives.
How fast can I be seen in Frisco?
Usually as clinician availability allows, compared to the months long waits common locally. Early treatment is easier treatment.
Will I see the same clinician each time?
Yes. Continuity is a core standard: one clinician who knows your history, your scores, and your goals, visit after visit.
What number do I call in Frisco for a mental health emergency?
Call or text 988, the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline, or call 911. shrinkMD is an outpatient practice, not an emergency service, and we want you safe first.
Does insurance cover telepsychiatry in Frisco?
We do not bill insurance. You pay a transparent flat fee per visit, HSA and FSA funds work, and we provide superbills you may submit for possible out of network reimbursement.
Where do appointments take place?
Wherever you have privacy and a connection: home, an office, or a parked car. There is no clinic to drive to and no waiting room.
Do I need a referral?
No referral is needed. Book directly, and with your permission we coordinate with your primary care clinician afterward.
We just moved here and have no doctors yet. Where do we start?
Right here is fine. No referral is needed, the intake takes minutes, and your clinician can coordinate with a primary care doctor once you choose one. Bring your medication history: names, doses, durations, and how each worked.
Do you see parents juggling youth sports schedules?
Daily. Frisco's tournament weekends and practice calendars are exactly why visits happen by video, with follow ups short enough to fit between drop offs.
