The Woodlands, Texas
Medication Management in The Woodlands
The Woodlands was master planned for everything except the regional psychiatric shortage: energy corridor careers, I-45 commutes, and high expectations carry a quiet load, and the local supply books out like everywhere else in greater Houston. The pines deserve better. That's what unmanaged medication looks like, and it's fixable. shrinkMD delivers real medication stewardship to The Woodlands: board certified clinicians, measured follow up, and visits that fit your actual schedule.

Why shrinkMD
Made to fit life in The Woodlands
From Town Center to Creekside Park, visits happen by video from home or a Hughes Landing office, with no drive to the Medical Center and no waiting room.
We bill no insurance, fees are flat and published, and oil and gas cycle stress is treated without judgment, including the household strain of downturn years.
What's included
From handoff to dialed in
Many patients arrive mid treatment, a prescriber retired, moved, or simply stopped paying attention. After an evaluation and records review we can usually continue your non controlled medications without missing a refill, then begin actually optimizing: one change at a time, tracked with validated scores until the numbers and your life agree.
Visits run 15 to 30 minutes by video on a cadence your treatment sets, every two to four weeks while tuning, stretching to quarterly once stable. Side effects, interactions, and the question of whether you still need each medication all stay on the table at every visit. Labs are coordinated locally when needed, and nothing here ever touches an insurance database.

Frequently asked questions
Good questions, clear answers
Can you tell burnout from depression?
That is precisely the evaluation's job: the two overlap in symptoms and differ in treatment, and you leave with a clear answer.
Do you cover Conroe and Spring too?
Yes, all of Montgomery County and beyond, identically by secure video.
How do labs work with a telehealth practice?
We coordinate orders through your local clinic or lab, lithium levels, metabolic panels, thyroid checks, and review results together. Telehealth changes the visit, not the monitoring standard.
Can you take over prescriptions from my previous provider?
Usually yes, for non controlled medications, after an evaluation and records review. Switching shouldn't mean starting over or missing a refill.
Do you prescribe stimulants or benzodiazepines?
No, anywhere. We're upfront about it before you book, and skilled with the non controlled options the evidence supports.
