Telehealth psychiatric care in the West Texas & Panhandle

West Texas and the Panhandle is a vast, sparsely populated region — from the Permian Basin around Midland and Odessa up through the Panhandle around Amarillo and Lubbock. It's exactly the kind of place where specialist care can be hard to reach in person, with long distances between communities. PathToHope Wellness & Behavioral Health provides psychiatric evaluation, medication management, and ongoing mental-health care through secure video, so patients across West Texas can be seen without a long drive.

There is no physical office in West Texas. PathToHope is a telehealth-only practice, and every appointment takes place through a private, encrypted video call on your phone, tablet, or computer. As long as you're somewhere in Texas at the time of your visit — your home, your workplace, or anywhere across West Texas and the Panhandle — you can be seen. Appointments are scheduled in Central Time, the time zone most of West Texas and the Panhandle keeps year-round.

You'll be seen by Bright Setorglo, MSN, APRN, PMHNP-BC, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and the practice's founder. He cares for teens ages 13 and older and adults, with an approach that's patient-centered, trauma-informed, and collaborative — you understand your options and take part in every decision about your treatment.

Why Telehealth

Why telepsychiatry suits the West Texas & Panhandle

Real reasons video visits make sense across this region.

West Texas is defined by distance. The drive between Midland and Odessa, or from the Panhandle to a major metro, is measured in hours. Video visits remove that distance entirely.

Specialist options can be limited across the region. Telehealth brings psychiatric care to you without a long drive to a clinic.

No waiting room. You're not sitting in a clinic lobby next to strangers when you're already not feeling your best.

Scheduling that fits your day. Book before or after work, on a lunch break, or around family — flexibility an in-person clinic can't easily match.

Often faster access. Without a physical office to manage, openings frequently come up sooner, so you're not stuck on a weeks-long waitlist.

No. PathToHope is a telehealth-only practice, so there is no physical office in West Texas. All appointments take place through secure video, and you can join from anywhere you are in Texas.

Can my teenager be seen through telehealth?

Yes. Teens ages 13 and older can be seen, along with adults. A parent or guardian is involved for younger patients as appropriate.
