"I normally hate dealing with insurance, medical paperwork, and office settings in general. Here I felt genuinely cared for and seen, and everyone is just so helpful. Dr. Saraiya is amazing, and the office staff is always so responsive and has easy solutions for my problems."

"My whole family is/was brilliant, addicted, and depressed. Dr Ali and Allen Psychiatry have shed light, shown the way, walked alongside them as they recovered. This level of mental health professional competency is very hard to find. These folks have been my guardian angels."

"100% recommend TMS therapy for Depression and anxiety. I’ve had anxiety my whole life and I was depressed for longer than I knew. After TMS for the first time in my life I’m able to walk around without anxiety(or sweaty palms). When therapy and medication didn’t work I almost gave up, until I found Allen Psychiatry. Thank you so much to Bella, who helped me through my TMS journey. Keep pushing through!!"

"I can't say enough about Allen Psychiatry! They are quick to respond to calls and emails. They are thorough with collecting information about your progress and concerns so that they can make good therapeutic or medication recommendations. They have worked with me during times with no insurance. I have been with Allen about 3 years. I highly recommend the group!"

"First of all, kudos to the TMS team at Allen Psychiatry. They all are super helpful, from working with insurance to accommodating schedules and payments! The technicians are also wonderful! Big appreciation to Haley for all of her thoughtfulness throughout the treatment as well as my “graduation” gifts. I’ve also noticed improvement through the treatment. It’s not a magic pill but it does work. I’m going through an extremely difficult journey (divorce) and TMS has helped me cope tremendously. Grateful for this amazing facility!!!"

Common Questions About Therapy

We know starting therapy can feel overwhelming - let us help clarify the process

Any amount not covered by your insurance is the responsibility of the patient. We'll inform you of your estimated costs before your appointment so there are no surprises.

Initial consultations are typically 60 minutes to get to know you and your goals. Follow up therapy sessions are usually 50 minutes.

This varies based on your needs and goals. Many clients start with weekly sessions and then move to bi-weekly or monthly as they progress. We'll work together to find a frequency that supports your healing while fitting your schedule and budget.

Most insurance plans do not require a referral to see a psychiatrist or therapist. However, some HMO plans may require one. Check with your insurance or call us and we can help verify.

Our therapists are trained in evidence-based approaches including CBT, DBT, EMDR, mindfulness-based therapy, and psychodynamic therapy. We'll match you with a therapist whose expertise aligns with your needs and preferences.

Yes! We offer both in-person and secure video sessions. Many clients appreciate the flexibility of virtual therapy, especially for individuals with busy schedules.

Progress looks different for everyone. You might notice improved mood, better relationships, or new coping skills. We'll regularly check in about your goals and progress, adjusting our approach as needed to ensure you're getting the most from therapy.

We accept most major insurance plans, for a majority of services, including Medicare. Our billing team will verify your benefits and explain any costs before your appointment. We also offer self-pay options with transparent pricing.

Your first visit includes a comprehensive evaluation where we'll discuss your concerns, history, and goals. We'll work together to create a personalized treatment plan.

You can schedule online through our website, call us at (469) 340-2777, or fill out our contact form. Our intake team will help match you with the right provider and find a convenient appointment time.

You have two options: pay our self-pay rates, or we can file the claim as an out-of-network provider on your behalf. With out-of-network filing, higher deductibles and coinsurance typically apply, and your insurance may not cover the service at all.

We understand that life happens. To avoid a cancellation fee, please provide at least 48 hours’ notice for new patient appointments and 24 hours’ notice for follow-up appointments, during regular business hours. Appointments can be managed through our patient portal or by calling our office. Same day cancelation & rescheduling fees are as follows: - New Patients Medication Management (24 hours): $150.00 - Follow Ups Medication Management (24 hours): $100.00 - TMS, Spravato, PHP & IOP (24 hours): $100.00 - Therapy (24 hours): $150.00

Due to state laws and regulations, patients must be in the state of Texas at the time of their virtual appointment.

Payment is due at the time of service or before your appointment. We require a valid credit or debit card on file for all patients.

We do not currently accept Medicaid. However, we offer competitive self-pay rates and flexible payment plans for patients without commercial insurance coverage.
