Psychiatric care for Waxahachie, delivered by video

Bright Setorglo, PMHNP-BC is a board-certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner (NPI 1588531511) licensed in Texas, and Waxahachie sits inside the practice’s Ellis County service area. Visits cover the full arc of psychiatric care: a thorough initial evaluation, a diagnosis explained in plain language, medication started or adjusted when it is the right tool, and steady follow-up so treatment keeps working.

Waxahachie anchors Ellis County, one of the fastest-growing counties in Texas, where new subdivisions are rising faster than the local healthcare infrastructure can follow. The I-35E corridor south of Dallas has thousands of new households — and a psychiatric provider pool that has barely changed.

For commuters and growing families alike, telepsychiatry removes the trip back up the corridor: a full evaluation, diagnosis, and medication management from home, with evening and Saturday slots that work around a Dallas commute. Because care is delivered over a HIPAA-compliant video connection, being in Waxahachie changes nothing about what you get: the same clinician, the same 60–90 minute evaluation, the same prescribing ability, the same follow-up schedule. You need to be physically in Texas at the time of your visit, and you need a phone, tablet, or computer with a camera. That is the whole list.

Not sure you need psychiatry? Start with a free, anonymous screening. The PHQ-9 for depression, GAD-7 for anxiety, and ASRS for adult ADHD each take about two minutes and score instantly. Bring the result to your first visit and the evaluation starts a step ahead.
