I started Houston Mind & Brain to bring research-grade brain treatments into a practice that feels personal and straightforward. We begin by listening to your history, what hasn’t worked, and what matters most, then design a plan that blends evidence-based interventions (TMS, ketamine, and KAP) with careful medication management so improvements endure.
