I've gone to Central Texas Mental Health for over ...

I've gone to Central Texas Mental Health for over 7 years now and highly recommend them to friends or anyone else I come across looking for good quality psychiatric care. It was very difficult when I first began searching for a psychiatrist for help treating my depression - everyone either didn't take my insurance anymore, wasn't accepting new patients, was retired, or had a 6 month waitlist, etc. A friend told me about them, and although it was and still is out of my way, it was worth it. They got me in right away for an appointment, and I've always been able to get appointments reasonably quickly since then.

Please know, you can see the same practitioner every time and stick with the same person. It just worked out that based on availability/convenience, I ended up scheduling appointments with a couple different practitioners here and there. The practitioner I've met with most of the time is Julie Williams, PA, who still works there. She is always compassionate and thorough, as was Renee Moreland, who I saw during a particularly rough couple of years when my previous meds seemed to stop working and she has sadly since moved on to work elsewhere. I met with the head honcho, Dr. Michael Musgrove, a few times, and he was kind and professional. I only met with one other practitioner one time - for some reason I got auto-assigned to her after Renee left, even though I'd met with Julie in the past and she was still there - who was just "okay" but I didn't feel she was all that warm in her approach. So I switched back to Julie and things have been great for me since then.

The front desk staff are very friendly and professional as well. There was only one time in over 7 years where the front desk staff were busy and not quite as professional as they should have been (nothing terrible) - I politely mentioned this once I got into my session, and a few days later I received a handwritten note thanking me for my feedback!
