Hi there! I'm glad you found your way here.
If you are feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or just plain exhausted, you are not alone. A lot of the
people I work with describe a similar experience: on the surface, life looks manageable, but
internally, it is a different story. Thoughts that won't quiet down, energy that's hard to find, or
stress from past experiences that never quite resolved themselves.
You don't have to keep carrying that on your own.
I work with patients navigating a wide range of mental challenges, from anxiety, ADHD,
depression, and mood disorders to trauma, life transitions, burnout, and beyond. My goal is
straightforward: to help you feel more like yourself again, and more in control of your day-to-day life.

Hi! My name is Keyonda Dean, but my friends call me Keyandra. I'm really glad you're here. You may have been feeling low, unmotivated, or disconnected for a while now. Maybe you have lost interest in things that used to matter, or you wake up already exhausted. Perhaps you have been running on empty for so long that it's starting to feel normal. Some days, it's hard to explain what is wrong, but you are still showing up, still getting through your to-do list. But something feels off. It's not just "stress," and you aren't being dramatic.

Frequently asked questions


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 Irving
Finding psychiatrists in Irving starts with knowing which type of care fits your needs. Psychiatrists and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners can diagnose mental health conditions and prescribe medication, while therapists focus on talk therapy. Medication management may support care for concerns such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, or obsessive-compulsive disorder. Both therapy and psychiatry can be valid starting points, depending on the kind of support you want.
Irving has a smaller local market than nearby Dallas, so virtual psychiatry can give you more options while keeping care close to your schedule. Psychiatric medication management visits are often shorter and less frequent than therapy sessions, and some psychiatrists also offer therapy. Some people work with both a therapist and a prescriber. As you compare options, look at appointment availability, whether the psychiatrist is accepting new patients, and what each bio says about specialties, communication style, and care approach.
Psychiatric care in Irving can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs, and Headway helps you see your estimated cost before you book. You can enter your insurance details, review psychiatrists and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners who are accepting new patients with your plan, read bios, 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.
