"Awesome group of people here, especially Ms Venice. I was diagnosed with TD and Vocal cord dysfunction. When I first started working with Venice, my voice was slow and I didn't have pitch, once she put me on Austedo, it all started to change. My lip smacking and twitching was going away and thank God I could speak again. It's been over 10 years, and my grandkids have never heard my true voice.. yes its only been 2 weeks and lots more to come, God brought me to Allen Psychiatry, I truly believe that, all the Glory is his, now I can sing praises to him....THANK YALL AN THANK YOU VENICE..MY ANGEL "

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about starting your journey with us

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.

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.

The initial evaluation typically lasts about 60 minutes. This gives us time to understand your history, current symptoms, and develop a personalized treatment plan together. Follow-up appointments are usually 15-30 minutes.

Yes. Select prescribers see medication management patients on Saturdays; availability is limited and times vary by prescriber. We also have some early-evening appointments on a limited basis. Weekday hours are 7:30 AM to 5:00 PM.

Absolutely not. We believe in collaborative care where you're an active participant in treatment decisions. We'll discuss all options including therapy, lifestyle changes, and medication. The choice is always yours, and we respect your preferences.

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.

This is very common, and we specialize in helping people who haven't found relief with their current medications. We'll carefully review your medication history, consider genetic testing if appropriate, and explore alternative options including different medications or augmentation strategies.

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.
