I am Stanley Okeyemi, the founder of Brighter Light Behavioral Health Services. I am currently licensed as a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner (PMHNP) in Texas, Connecticut, Florida, Idaho, Iowa, Washington, North Carolina, Nebraska, Virginia and New York. I have been working in the mental health industry for 16 years, but licensed as a PMHNP for four years, with a vast amount of experience and affiliations with over 40 hospitals/clinics combined across the USA
I am double-board certified in General and Consultation-Liaison Psychiatry, with extensive experience in outpatient, inpatient and consultation practice settings, that spans civilian, military and academic milieus. I am licensed in AL, AZ, CT, FL, NY, TX.
My journey to becoming a psychiatric mental health provider originated from the need to provide psychiatric mental health services to all persons. I worked in an inpatient psychiatric setting for five years and decided to advance my career by obtaining my master’s degree in nursing - psychiatry. This advancement has allowed me to help others with their mental health journey. Do you need help with anxiety, depression, ADHD, psychosis, and mania? Reach out today!

I’m a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with a Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) and over 20 years of experience across diverse healthcare settings.

I work with adolescents and adults ages 12 through 90, providing comprehensive psychiatric evaluations, medication management, and supportive psychotherapy.

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 Psychiatrist in Texas
Searching for psychiatrists in Texas starts with knowing what kind of mental health care you want. Psychiatrists and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners can diagnose conditions and prescribe medication, while therapists provide talk therapy and related support. Both can be valid entry points depending on your needs. People often look for psychiatric care for anxiety, depression, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, bipolar disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, or medication management. Across a large state like Texas, the right fit may vary by region, so review each psychiatrist’s training, listed specialties, and care focus before you book.
In Houston, Dallas, Austin, and other parts of Texas, your search may include both in-person and virtual psychiatry options. Medication management appointments are often shorter and less frequent than therapy sessions, so availability, appointment format, and scheduling flexibility can matter as much as location. Some psychiatrists also offer therapy, and some people work with both a therapist and a prescriber. Reading bios can help you understand whether a psychiatrist focuses on evaluation, ongoing medication management, therapy, or a combination of services.
Psychiatric care in Texas can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details, see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, and browse Texas psychiatrists who are accepting new patients with your plan. Nationally, Headway partners with 100+ insurance plans, and you can enter your insurance details on Headway to confirm what coverage is available in Texas and see your estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking.
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.
