Who we are
DM Integrated Health Partners is a psychiatric mental health practice dedicated to expanding access to specialized care for individuals and families across Texas, with a special focus on rural communities. As founders hailing from rural South Texas and Southwest San Antonio, there is firsthand understanding of the healthcare disparities that affect these regions and how limited access to mental health care can shape a person’s life.
Our motto, “Dedicated to Mind and Medicine,” reflects a commitment to caring for the whole person by honoring both the inner experience and the medical science behind treatment. “Mind” represents a focus on each patient’s story, culture, values, and day-to-day challenges, while “Medicine” speaks to using evidence-based practices, careful prescribing, and ongoing monitoring to support safe, effective care.
In daily practice, being “Dedicated to Mind and Medicine” means appointments are unhurried, collaborative, and rooted in clear communication rather than quick fixes. Patients can expect thorough evaluations, transparent discussion of options, and shared decision-making that respects what matters most in their lives.
By combining medical expertise with lived experience in rural Texas and historically underserved areas of San Antonio, DM Integrated Health Partners strives to be a steady, trustworthy partner in mental health care. The mission is to ensure that geography, background, or local resource limitations never stand between Texans and the quality psychiatric care they deserve.
