About Lakeridge Psychiatry
Overview
The practice
Lakeridge Psychiatry is a psychiatric practice serving the Dallas–Fort Worth area. We provide psychiatric evaluation, medication management, therapy within longer visits, and interventional treatments for depression, including transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and esketamine (Spravato).
The practice was built around general psychiatry, with the additional treatments that a general psychiatric practice does not always have available. A patient whose depression has not improved with medication does not need to be referred elsewhere to be considered for TMS or Spravato, and a patient receiving one of those treatments continues to be seen for medication management in the same office. We feel it is important that the different parts of a treatment plan remain connected to one another.
Approach
How we approach treatment
Care begins with a thorough psychiatric evaluation. We review your history, current symptoms, prior treatment, medical conditions, and goals of treatment before making recommendations. A working diagnosis and a treatment plan are developed during that first visit, and follow-up appointments are scheduled to track progress and adjust course when needed.
Prescribing is done thoughtfully. Medication is often an important part of treatment, and we prescribe it when it is indicated. We also reassess which medications remain necessary, because treatment plans can become complicated over time and a medication that was appropriate at one point may no longer be. Where a medication can be reduced or discontinued safely, we will discuss that with you and proceed carefully.
We take an integrated and collaborative approach. Medication management, therapy, and interventional treatments are available in one practice, and treatment can move between them as your needs change. We coordinate with primary care physicians, therapists, and other specialists, and we consider your medical conditions and other medications when making treatment decisions. Treating the whole person is part of ordinary psychiatric care, and it is how we practice.
