Neighborhoods we frequently serve include Uptown, Lakewood, the M Streets, Lake Highlands, Highland Park, University Park, Preston Hollow, Oak Cliff, Bishop Arts District, and downtown. Local landmarks within walking, driving, or commute distance of our patients include downtown Dallas, the Katy Trail, White Rock Lake, NorthPark Center, the Dallas Arts District, and the Park Cities. Mailing addresses we routinely see in our patient population fall in ZIP code 75201-75252 range.

Dallas mental health waitlists for in-network psychiatrists routinely run 3-6 months. Telehealth with our Southlake practice removes that bottleneck without requiring a long drive — and the quality of care doesn’t change based on geography.

What We See Most Often From Dallas Patients

Dallas is a large, diverse metro with no shortage of psychiatrists — but availability varies dramatically by neighborhood, insurance, and specialty. Patients who reach out to us from Dallas typically fall into a few categories: those who’ve spent months waiting for an appointment with their first-choice in-network psychiatrist and need care sooner, those who’ve been seen by a series of providers and want a more thorough integrative evaluation than the 10-15 minute medication checks they’ve experienced, and those specifically seeking women’s mental health, perinatal, or perimenopausal expertise that’s harder to find in a large metro than you’d expect. For Dallas patients, telehealth is usually the practical path — Dr. Fredes is licensed in Texas, New York, and Virginia.

Dr. Fredes' clinical focus on telehealth psychiatric care, women’s mental health, perinatal psychiatry overlaps directly with the most common reasons Dallas residents seek psychiatric care.

Frequently Asked Questions from Dallas Patients

Do I have to come into the Southlake office at all if I live in Dallas?

For most patients, no. Dallas residents typically work with us via telehealth, with in-person visits available for those willing to drive 30-45 minutes north on Highway 114 or 35 to our Southlake office. Initial evaluations for stimulant medications (ADHD) require an in-person visit per Texas law and DEA requirements. Telehealth is the practical primary path for Dallas residents.

Is telehealth psychiatric care as effective as in-person for Dallas patients?

For medication management and most psychiatric care, yes. Decades of research and post-2020 outcome data show telehealth psychiatry produces equivalent clinical outcomes for the conditions we treat. The main exceptions are: (1) ADHD stimulant prescribing requires an initial in-person visit by federal law, and (2) certain physical exams or specific clinical situations may warrant in-person evaluation. Dr. Fredes will tell you upfront if telehealth isn’t appropriate for your situation.

What insurance do you accept?

We are in-network with Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Texas (BCBSTX), Cigna and Evernorth Behavioral Health, UnitedHealthcare and Optum (UBH), and Oscar Health. We also offer self-pay rates and provide superbills for out-of-network reimbursement.

How quickly can I get a first appointment?

For new patients in Dallas, we usually have availability within 1–2 weeks for in-person visits and often sooner for telehealth. We will work with you to find the soonest time that aligns with your schedule and the type of care you need.

Do you prescribe medication for ADHD?

Yes. Dr. Fredes provides comprehensive adult ADHD evaluation and medication management, including both stimulant and non-stimulant medications. Note that Texas law and DEA rules require an in-person initial evaluation before stimulant medications can be prescribed, even if subsequent visits will be telehealth.

Does Dr. Fredes see patients herself, or am I assigned to a nurse practitioner?

Dr. Fredes sees every patient herself. There are no NP handoffs and no rotating providers. The doctor you book with is the doctor you see, every visit. This is a core part of how MindMED operates as a solo practice.
