How to Choose a Psychiatrist in Austin?

The Internet can be a great start, but we recommend you don’t stop there!!

Talking to your primary care provider can be an excellent resource. They may have worked closely with psychiatric providers they trust.

Did you know Pondworks has a longstanding history of community doctors referring to us? We receive many of our referrals from places like Austin Area OB/GYN & Fertility, Austin Diagnostic Clinic, Austin Regional Clinic, Ascension Seton, UT Health Services and many smaller primary care clinics. 

Everyone Gets Mental Health Help

We Are In-Network With Many Commercial Insurance Companies

While many independent mental health providers do not accept commercial insurance, we have spent the last decade investing in software, staff and knowledge to be able to do so.  We love being able to make mental health care accessible to more people by partnering with many of the major insurance payers in Central Texas.
