Texas A&M brings 70,000 students to a county built for far fewer, and every fall the same wave hits: ADHD medication refills that expired over summer, first-semester anxiety, and parents three hundred miles away trying to arrange care for their kid remotely. We built our College Station intake around exactly that call.
Insurance we see from College Station: Parents' PPOs from across Texas mostly - BlueCross, UHC, Aetna - plus A&M's student plan. Parents can join the first video visit with the student's consent.
Getting seen: Telehealth around class schedules, care that persists through summer break, prescriptions to the Northgate-area pharmacies students actually use.
In a crisis, call or text 988 any time. The public mental health authority for Brazos County is MHMR Authority of Brazos Valley — a good option if you need immediate or low-cost local services beyond what we provide.

What to Expect at Lyte Psychiatry
Your first appointment is a full psychiatric evaluation — not a quick intake. Your provider spends 50–60 minutes reviewing your history, current symptoms, medications, and goals. By the end of the visit, you leave with a diagnosis, a specific treatment plan, and if medication is appropriate, a prescription sent to your local pharmacy.
Follow-up visits are typically 20–30 minutes. They focus on how you're responding to treatment, any medication adjustments, and next steps. Most patients are seen monthly at the start of treatment, then less frequently once things are stable.
We work with a lot of patients who've had poor experiences with psychiatry before — rushed appointments, billing surprises, providers who never remember their history. At Lyte, we verify your insurance before your first visit, keep appointment slots open for urgent needs, and give you a direct way to reach your provider between sessions when something comes up.
