New Patients

Joining takes minutes, not months

Most psychiatric practices in Texas are booked out for weeks. Here, “accepting new patients” means what it should: you can book this week — often today — and your first visit is a full 60–90 minute evaluation, not a screening call.

There’s no referral requirement, no waiting list, and no intake interview gatekeeping you away from the provider. Book online or call, complete short forms from your phone, and meet Bright by video from anywhere in Texas.

Common Questions

New-patient FAQ

Availability, credentials, referrals, switching, and insurance.

Is this practice accepting new patients right now?
Yes. PathToHope Wellness & Behavioral Health is accepting new patients statewide, and most people book a first appointment within 24 to 48 hours — same-day openings come up most days.
What is a PMHNP-BC?
A Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner — Board Certified. It means graduate-level psychiatric training, national board certification (ANCC), and full prescriptive authority as an Advanced Practice Registered Nurse. PMHNPs evaluate, diagnose, and prescribe independently in Texas.
Can a PMHNP prescribe medication like a psychiatrist?
Yes. With APRN prescriptive authority, a PMHNP-BC can evaluate, diagnose, and prescribe — including controlled substances when clinically appropriate and always in line with state and federal telehealth rules. For outpatient evaluation and medication management, the care is equivalent.
Do I need a referral to become a new patient?
No referral is needed. Book directly online in about two minutes, or call 432-770-3341 and the team will place you in the first available slot.
Will I see the same provider at every visit?
Yes. Every appointment — evaluation, follow-ups, medication adjustments — is with Bright Setorglo, PMHNP-BC. No rotating pools, no re-explaining your history to a stranger.
What insurance do you accept for new patients?
Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna, UnitedHealthcare/Optum, Humana, Medicare, and Medicaid, plus transparent self-pay rates. Benefits are verified before your first visit.
What ages do you accept?
The practice treats adults. If you’re seeking care for a child or adolescent, your provider can point you toward appropriate pediatric psychiatric resources.
How do I switch from my current psychiatrist or PMHNP?
Easily. Sign a simple records release and your history transfers; the first visit builds on your current treatment rather than starting over. Refills are coordinated so you don’t run out during the switch.
