Adult psychiatry for Plano patients — thoughtful evaluation and medication management, in-person nearby in Southlake or by secure Texas telehealth.
Plano sits at an unusual intersection in Texas. It is one of the largest corporate-headquarter cities in the country relative to its size — Toyota North America, JPMorgan Chase's Legacy West campus, Frito-Lay, Liberty Mutual, NTT Data, and Tyler Technologies all anchor a workforce that skews toward long-tenure professionals, software and finance teams, and executive families. The patients who come to us from Plano often describe the same pattern: high-functioning lives that look fine on paper, with sleep, focus, irritability, or low-grade anxiety quietly grinding on for months before anyone says anything out loud.
Plano is also a city of school-age families, and we see a meaningful number of parents — frequently mothers — whose own mental health has been crowded out by years of caretaking, carpool, and the cognitive load of running a household around the Frisco ISD and Plano ISD calendars. None of that is the cause of a psychiatric condition by itself, but it is exactly the context in which depression, anxiety, adult ADHD, and burnout deepen if they are not addressed.
Plano is well-supported on the medical side. Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital Plano, Medical City Plano, and Baylor Scott & White Medical Center–Plano anchor the local hospital landscape, and outpatient psychiatric capacity in Collin County has grown alongside the population. Even so, finding a psychiatrist who can do a thorough first evaluation within a reasonable timeframe and then keep seeing you on a steady cadence afterward is harder than it should be.
SLS Psychiatry is based in Southlake — about a 20-minute drive west of Plano on most days — and treats adults across Texas via secure telehealth. Plano patients have a real choice: come into the Southlake office for an in-person evaluation if that is what you prefer, or be seen entirely by secure video from home, the office near Legacy, or a quiet space anywhere in Texas.
A Plano telehealth visit is a secure video call. You receive a link in advance. The only firm requirement is that you must be physically located in Texas at the time of the visit — at home in West Plano, in a private office near Legacy West, or anywhere else in the state. Initial evaluations are 60–75 minutes; follow-ups are typically 20–50.
There is nothing to install — visits run in your browser. We do not prescribe controlled substances by telehealth without a careful evaluation, and we are direct up front about when an in-person visit is the better fit.
Common reasons Plano patients reach out include adult depression and persistent low mood, generalized anxiety and panic, adult ADHD (often surfaced after a job change, a promotion, or a stretch of unusually heavy cognitive load), insomnia tied to long hours and screens, perinatal and postpartum mood symptoms, and burnout that overlaps clinically with depression but is not identical to it.
We provide thoughtful evaluation and medication management. We do not provide standalone ongoing therapy, and we will refer you to a Plano- or Collin County-based therapist when ongoing therapy is what would actually help. No medication is prescribed without a clinical evaluation, treatment recommendations are made only after clinical evaluation, and no specific medication is guaranteed. Telehealth visits require that you be physically located in Texas at the time of the visit.
The Southlake office is roughly 18–25 miles from most of Plano depending on where you live — closer from West Plano and Legacy, longer from East Plano. With normal traffic the drive is 25–40 minutes. Parking is free and the office is wheelchair-accessible. Office hours are Monday through Friday, 8 AM to 7 PM, by appointment only.
For ongoing follow-ups, telehealth is almost always the right answer for Plano patients — a 30-minute medication review does not justify a two-hour round trip. Many Plano patients do an in-person initial evaluation in Southlake and then complete the rest of their care by secure video. Lunch-break visits work well for the corporate-park crowd along the Tollway.
