The Waitlist Problem

Psychiatry shouldn’t take three months to start

Across Texas, the average wait for a new psychiatric patient appointment runs measured in weeks — and in many counties, in months. For someone dealing with depression, anxiety, or an ADHD evaluation, that gap is where symptoms get worse, jobs get shakier, and relationships strain.

This practice was built to close that gap. Same-day openings are posted daily, next-day appointments are nearly always available, and the whole visit happens by secure video — so “I finally decided to get help” can turn into “I’m already seen” instead of “I’m on a waitlist.”

Before the visit

Complete short intake forms from your phone. The secure video link arrives by text and email — no app to install.

The evaluation

A 60–90 minute video evaluation with Bright Setorglo, PMHNP-BC, from any private spot in Texas.

Afterward

Conditions

What same-day telepsychiatry treats

Same-day visits cover the conditions that most often can’t wait: depression, anxiety and panic, adult ADHD evaluation, PTSD, bipolar disorder, insomnia, and related conditions.

If you’re unsure whether your situation fits, take a free two-minute screening first — the results are scored instantly and give you something concrete to bring to the visit.

Common Questions

Same-day psychiatry FAQ

Straight answers about booking, coverage, and what to expect.

Can I really get a psychiatry appointment the same day in Texas?
Yes, in most cases. Same-day openings are posted daily, and next-day slots are nearly always available. Book online or call 432-770-3341 in the morning for the best chance of a same-day time.
What can be done in a same-day psychiatry visit?
A same-day visit is a full psychiatric evaluation — not a triage call. Your provider takes a complete history, reviews symptoms, works through a diagnosis, and can start treatment, including sending a prescription to your pharmacy when clinically appropriate.
Do I need a referral or prior records for a same-day appointment?
No referral is needed, and prior records are helpful but not required. If you have previous psychiatric records, mention them when booking and they can be reviewed before or during your visit.
Will insurance cover a same-day telepsychiatry visit?
In most cases, yes — a telepsychiatry visit is billed the same as any outpatient psychiatry visit, so your normal specialist copay applies. Most in-network patients pay a $0–$50 copay, verified before your appointment.
What should I do to prepare for a same-day video visit?
Find a private, quiet spot with a phone, tablet, or laptop; have your medication list and insurance card nearby; and complete the intake forms sent at booking. The video link opens in a browser — no app needed.
What if I need urgent help before my appointment?
If you are in crisis, call or text 988 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline) any time, dial 2-1-1 for Texas community resources, or go to your nearest emergency room. For immediate danger, call 911.
Is same-day care lower quality than waiting for an in-person visit?
No. The evaluation follows the same clinical standards either way — 60–90 minutes with a board-certified PMHNP-BC. Research comparing video and in-person psychiatric care has found equivalent outcomes for most conditions.
Which Texas cities does same-day telepsychiatry cover?
Everywhere in Texas. The practice serves all major metros — Houston, Dallas, San Antonio, Austin, Fort Worth, El Paso — and smaller communities statewide, with the same appointment availability.
