As a board-certified, doctorally prepared psychiatric nurse practitioner, I treat a variety of mental health disorders using medication management as well as can incorporate psychotherapy within the session based on situational necessity. My focus is across the lifespan, including children and adolescents.

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.
I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) providing compassionate, holistic mental health care for individuals across the lifespan. I work with clients experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, PTSD, insomnia, schizophrenia, and substance use challenges, helping them regain balance and confidence in their lives.
My approach to care is warm, empowering, and collaborative. I believe every person deserves to feel heard, understood, and supported while navigating their mental health journey. I work closely with each client to develop a personalized treatment plan that supports emotional well-being, symptom management, and long-term stability.
With experience in both inpatient and outpatient psychiatric settings, I have supported individuals facing complex mental health challenges and life stressors. I provide comprehensive psychiatric evaluations, medication management, and supportive therapy, while incorporating lifestyle and coping strategies that promote lasting wellness.
I am passionate about helping people develop the tools and understanding they need to take control of their mental health. My goal is to create a safe, judgment-free environment where clients feel comfortable sharing their experiences and working toward meaningful change.

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.
