Led by board-certified psychiatrists Dr. James T. Fuqua, Dr. Nicole Nguyen, Dr. Kevin Muceus, and Dr. Jorge Corona, alongside licensed therapist Martha Allee, LCSW, we specialize in treatment-resistant conditions like yours.

Our approach blends cutting-edge treatments like nasal spray treatment with telepsychiatry and therapy, available statewide in Texas for ultimate convenience.

The Only FDA-Approved Treatment for Depression

Major Depressive Disorder

This condition is characterized by persistent feelings of sadness and a lack of interest in previously enjoyed activities. This is particularly beneficial for individuals who have not found relief after trying at least two different antidepressant medications.

Depression with Active Suicidal Ideation

For those experiencing severe depression accompanied by thoughts of self-harm or suicide, it has been shown to significantly reduce the risk of hospitalization, providing a crucial lifeline.

Adjunctive Therapy

This can be effectively used in conjunction with your current antidepressant regimen, enhancing overall treatment outcomes and offering a more comprehensive approach to managing your mental health

Patient Results & Reviews

Dr. Fuqua is an exceptionally compassionate and attentive psychiatrist. He not only helped me find the right medication plan, but also equipped me with practical strategies to manage my symptoms and increase my self-awareness. His thoughtful approach has made a meaningful difference in my journey. I highly recommend him.

JD

Great place. Dr. Fuqua is easy to talk to and work with. Their assistant, Michelle, is also on top of everything and always sends out reminders of when your appointment is, even fifteen minutes before. I have only been here for a few months, but I feel confident in what they have been able to provide for me.

HM

Gratitude is one of the hardest emotions to express for what I am feeling. Dr. Fuqua and his staff are very caring and professional. I’m very grateful to have found them. I’m so very happy with all their services personal one on one relationship. I really feel like they know me and are there for my needs. Thank you Dr. Fuqua and Michelle so very much.

CA

I have worked with several different psychiatrists before and Dr. Fuqua has been the best so far. Unlike most places where you go in and out and get a prescription in about 2 minutes, I never feel rushed here. Feeling heard is very important to me and he makes sure I leave feeling good about the plan. I would definitely recommend Dr. Fuqua to a family member.
