Dawn Gutierrez

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual & in-person • San Antonio, TX


Hi! My name is Dawn Gutierrez. I am a dual-certified Family Nurse Practitioner and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 20 years of experience in healthcare.

My clinical experience spans across Family Health, Women's Health, Behavioral Health, Emergency and Trauma comprehensive care at the Military Hospital for over 15 years. I then specialized in gender-affirming services such as hormone therapy and ongoing care for transgender and gender-diverse individuals. While providing care for the LGBQTIA community, I was drawn to continuing my education in Mental Health Care to provide Psychiatric services to this community as well.

I approach each patient with respect for their lived experience, identity, and goals, emphasizing collaborative decision-making and individualized treatment plans. My work is grounded in trauma-informed care, clinical excellence, and a strong belief that affirming, accessible healthcare is essential to both mental and physical well-being.

I have extensive experience delivering care through both telehealth and in-clinic settings, allowing me to meet patients where they are and reduce barriers to access. I am deeply committed to providing compassionate, evidence-based, and patient-centered care in a safe, respectful, and affirming environment.

Outside of work I enjoy spending quality time with my family, which brings balance to the work I love. Caring for others—both at home and in my practice—is at the heart of who I am.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right psychiatrist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Buda

Finding psychiatrists in Buda starts with understanding the type of mental health care you want to access. Psychiatrists can diagnose mental health conditions and prescribe medication, while therapists focus on talk therapy. Psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners can also diagnose conditions and manage medication through their licensure. If you are looking for support with anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, OCD, or medication management, review each psychiatrist’s listed specialties and background to see whether their training matches your needs.

Because Buda is a smaller city near South Austin, local appointment options may be more limited than in larger Texas markets. Virtual psychiatry can expand your search while still giving you access to licensed Texas psychiatrists. Medication management appointments are often shorter and less frequent than therapy sessions, so scheduling fit matters. Some psychiatrists also offer therapy, and some people work with both a therapist and a prescriber. Before booking, read bios for details on appointment style, availability, session structure, and whether a free phone consultation is offered.

Psychiatric care in Buda can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway makes that process easier by helping you search for psychiatrists who take your plan, verify your benefits, and show estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book. Every psychiatrist listed is accepting new patients, so you can review profiles, compare fit, and book directly when you’re ready.

If you're already taking psychiatric medication and considering switching providers, talk to your current prescriber before changing or stopping any medication — most psychiatric medications shouldn't be stopped abruptly. Anyone experiencing thoughts of self-harm or in acute crisis should call 988 or go to the nearest emergency department rather than wait for an outpatient appointment.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
