We provide full-spectrum mental health care in Mesquite, TX, combining both therapeutic counseling (Individual, Couples, Family, Adolescent, Group, and Veterans Care) with medical psychiatric services (Psychiatric Evaluations, Medication Management, and Medication-Assisted Treatment).
We provide compassionate, evidence-based care for children, teens, young adults, adults, and families navigating stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, mood disorders, life transitions, and trauma.
How do I schedule an initial appointment?
You can book an appointment by contacting our intake team by phone, sending us a request through our online contact form on our website, or reaching out directly via email.
Yes! We provide secure, HIPAA-compliant telehealth sessions for both therapy and psychiatric appointments, allowing you to receive high-quality care from the comfort and convenience of your home.
Your initial session is a thorough evaluation where we gather background history, discuss your current concerns, and clarify your goals. Together, we will begin formulating a personalized, evidence-based treatment plan tailored to your needs.
We provide both in-person and secure telehealth services, depending on your location and the type of care required:
Therapy & Counseling Services: Available to clients residing in Texas and New Mexico.
Psychiatric Services & Medication Management: Available to patients residing in Texas and Nevada.
Note: For virtual appointments (telehealth), licensing regulations require that you are physically located within one of our approved states at the time of your session.
The right path depends entirely on your specific symptoms, goals, and what kind of support will help you feel your best:
You might need Therapy if: You are navigating life transitions, grief, relationship stress, or emotional challenges (such as anxiety or situational depression) and want to learn coping skills, talk through past experiences, and change behavioral patterns.
You might need Psychiatry if: Your symptoms feel heavily rooted in biology or chemistry—such as severe, persistent depression, chronic panic attacks, attention difficulties (ADHD), or severe mood shifts—and you want a formal diagnosis, medical evaluation, or prescription support.
You might need Both if: Many clients benefit from a combined approach. For example, seeing a psychiatrist for medication management to stabilize severe symptoms, while simultaneously seeing a therapist to process emotions, build behavioral tools, and work through underlying trauma.
During your initial evaluation at Family Priority Counseling & Psychiatric Services (FPC), our team will assess your unique situation, listen to your concerns, and recommend the best, most balanced treatment plan for your healing journey.
What is the difference between therapy and psychiatric care?
Therapy (Counseling): Focuses on talk therapy, coping strategies, behavior modification, and processing emotional or relational challenges with a licensed therapist.
Psychiatric Care: Managed by psychiatric medical providers who conduct clinical assessments, evaluate underlying biological factors, diagnose conditions, and prescribe or monitor medications when appropriate.
No. Medication is never mandatory. We assess each client individually and discuss medication as a option alongside therapy. If medication is part of your care plan, we prioritize conservative dosing, education, and continuous safety monitoring.
Trauma-informed care means we structure our treatment environment with safety, transparency, empowerment, and respect at the forefront. We recognize how past life experiences impact current emotional health and tailor our approach to ensure you feel secure throughout your healing process.
Yes! We are in-network with several major insurance providers to keep care accessible. We accept plans from:
Aetna
Blue Cross Blue Shield (BCBS)
Cigna / Evernorth
Humana
Optum
UnitedHealthcare (UHC)
UMR
Because actual coverage and out-of-pocket costs depend on your specific plan and benefits, we recommend contacting our administrative team prior to your appointment. We will gladly verify your benefits, explain your coverage, and inform you of any expected co-pays or deductibles before your first session.
We require a minimum of 24 to 48 hours' advanced notice for cancellations or rescheduling. This allows us to offer that time slot to another client in need. Late cancellations or missed appointments may incur a fee.
