According to NPPES data, Midlothian currently has 3 psychiatrists, 4 psychologists, 23 social workers, 92 counselors, and 4 marriage and family therapists.

How to get care in Midlothian

Accessing mental health care in Midlothian can be approached through several avenues. Telehealth services are available across Texas, offering a convenient option for remote therapy and psychiatric consultations. For in-person support, individuals can seek out therapists practicing within Midlothian and surrounding areas. Primary care physicians can also serve as a crucial first point of contact, offering referrals to mental health specialists and aiding in initial assessments.

Texas operates a system of Local Mental Health Authorities (LMHAs). For Midlothian residents, this system provides publicly funded mental health services based on an individual's needs and eligibility. LMHAs offer a range of services, including crisis intervention, therapy, medication management, and case management. Additionally, Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) located in nearby communities may provide integrated primary and mental health care, often on a sliding scale fee based on income, which can be particularly beneficial for uninsured individuals.

Our directory includes Licensed Professional Counselors (LPCs), Licensed Clinical Social Workers (LCSWs), Licensed Marriage and Family Therapists (LMFTs), psychologists (PhD/PsyD), and psychiatric providers (MD, DO, PMHNP) — all verified through the NPPES NPI registry.

How long does it take to feel better after starting therapy?

Can I switch therapists if the first one isn't a good fit?
