I'm Kyle, I offer after hours appointments for adults 18 and older. Available on Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sunday mornings. And available Monday through Wednesday from 6:30pm to 9:00PM.

I prescribe psychiatric medications and do psychiatric evaluations. I've worked community mental health for 4 years, seeing a wide variety of patients.

Before I became a nurse practitioner, I spent 5 years working as an RN in inpatient psychiatry. 4 years of that psych experience, I worked at John Peter Smith hospital. That experience taught me how valuable it is to listen and work together with others.

Life can get heavy—whether you’re juggling family dynamics, relationship stress, parenting challenges, or just trying to stay afloat. Maybe you’ve always been the dependable one, the person everyone else leans on, but you’re starting to realize it’s time to focus on yourself. You want less tension, more connection, and practical tools that actually make a difference. You’re not after a quick fix—you just want someone real to help you sort things out and walk with you through the hard parts.

Dr. Jarrad Hodge

Dr. Jarrad Hodge

Psychologist

Virtual • Texas


I’m a licensed clinical psychologist whose work is grounded in evidence-based, compassionate care. I completed advanced graduate training in clinical psychology, followed by supervised work in outpatient and higher-acuity settings, where I treated adults and adolescents with a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship difficulties.

In my practice, I primarily use approaches like CBT, ACT, and trauma-informed therapies, integrating them in a way that’s tailored to each person rather than one-size-fits-all. I pay close attention to cultural and contextual factors, and I use measurement-based care so we can see whether treatment is actually helping you over time.

Clients often describe me as understanding, direct, and collaborative: I’ll bring structure and clinical expertise while also respecting your pace and values. I work with individual adults (and in some cases teens) who are dealing with issues like chronic stress, perfectionism, identity and life transitions, grief, and the impact of past traumatic experiences.

My goal is to provide a space that is both validating and change-focused; somewhere you can be fully honest, feel understood, and also develop practical skills to live in a way that feels more aligned with who you want to be
