Yes. Lyte Psychiatry sees Mansfield patients in person at our Pantego clinic, about 10 miles north of you on US-287 or Matlock Rd, and by secure video from home. Most new patients are seen within 1–2 business days. In-network copays run $0–$30 per visit, and a self-pay psychiatric evaluation is $250.
Who this page is for in Mansfield
You are probably one of two people. The first is a parent whose middle-schooler at a Mansfield ISD campus has stopped doing homework, is anxious about school in the morning, or has a teacher asking about ADHD. You want a child psychiatrist who can see your kid this month and who will write the letter the school counselor asked for. The second is a Mansfield ISD teacher or staff member on TRS-ActiveCare who is worn down by the year and wants to talk to someone without driving into Fort Worth or Dallas.
Mansfield grew fast along US-287 and Debbie Ln, and the mental health side of town did not keep up. Methodist Mansfield Medical Center and Texas Health Mansfield both have emergency rooms on the US-287 corridor, but neither is where you go for an outpatient ADHD evaluation or a medication check. MHMR of Tarrant County is the public mental health authority for the Tarrant County part of Mansfield, and it prioritizes people with the most serious conditions and the fewest options. If you have a BlueCross BlueShield of Texas card and a kid who needs to be seen before the next grading period, you are the reader we wrote this for.
What can Lyte treat for Mansfield patients?
Psychiatric evaluation and medication management for adults, teens, and children. Dr. Akintola is board-certified in Child & Adolescent Psychiatry, so a 12-year-old with anxiety and a 45-year-old with depression are both in scope. Conditions we treat include depression, anxiety, panic, social anxiety, PTSD and trauma, OCD, bipolar disorder, ADHD, insomnia, postpartum and perinatal mood problems, grief, and burnout.
Therapy and counseling with our licensed professional counselors, who use CBT, solution-focused, and trauma-focused approaches. If you see both a prescriber and a therapist here, they share one chart. Your therapist knows what medication you started and your prescriber knows what came up in session.
ADHD evaluation and treatment for adults and teens, including QbCheck objective testing. We prescribe stimulants and non-stimulants. We also write clinical letters for school, work, and clearance on request, including the letter a Mansfield ISD counselor will ask for when you request a 504 plan or an IEP evaluation.
In person, the clinic is at 2900 W Park Row Dr, Suite 111, in Pantego, about 10 miles from central Mansfield. Take Matlock Rd straight north, or US-287 to I-20 and then Bowen Rd. By video, you can see the same provider from anywhere in Texas. You keep the same provider every visit either way.
If you are starting a stimulant for ADHD, our policy is that the first evaluation happens in person at our Pantego clinic; follow-ups can be by video. Non-stimulant ADHD medication and everything else can start by video. For Mansfield families this is a short drive, and most parents choose to do the first visit in person anyway.

What the numbers say about Mansfield
Mansfield has 52,551 adults, and 22.7% of them have been told by a doctor that they have depression, according to CDC PLACES (BRFSS 2023). That is higher than the Texas rate of 19.7% and the national rate of 21.8% from the same CDC BRFSS 2023 data. Frequent mental distress, meaning 14 or more poor mental health days in a month, sits at 16.6% in Mansfield versus 16.1% for Texas and 15.4% nationally.
Roughly one in five adults in Mansfield has a depression diagnosis, and about one in six is having a bad month right now. Multiply 16.6% by 52,551 and you get around 8,700 adults. Two hospital ERs and one public mental health authority are not built for that many outpatient visits.
| Measure | Mansfield | Texas | U.S. | Source |

| Frequent mental distress (14+ bad days/month) | 16.6% | 16.1% | 15.4% | CDC PLACES, BRFSS 2023 |

Frequently asked questions for Mansfield
Is there a psychiatrist near Mansfield who can see me this week?
Yes. Lyte Psychiatry books most new Mansfield patients within 1–2 business days. Our clinic is in Pantego, about 10 miles north of Mansfield up Matlock Rd, and every provider also sees patients by video. Book at book.lytepsych.com or call 469-733-0848.
Where is the nearest in-person office for Mansfield, and how far is it?
2900 W Park Row Dr, Suite 111, Pantego, TX 76013. From the Broad St and US-287 area it is about 10 miles. Matlock Rd runs almost door to door: north through south Arlington, then left on W Park Row Dr. If you prefer the highway, take US-287 north to I-20, exit Bowen Rd, and go north to Park Row. Plan on 20 to 25 minutes outside of rush hour.
How fast can my child get an ADHD or anxiety evaluation?
Usually within 1–2 business days for the first appointment. Dr. Akintola is board-certified in Child & Adolescent Psychiatry, so we do not refer Mansfield kids out to a Dallas or Fort Worth children's hospital for the initial evaluation. If a stimulant is likely, that first visit is in person at Pantego. If it is anxiety, depression, or a non-stimulant plan, video works from the start.
How much does a psychiatrist cost in Mansfield with and without insurance?
With an in-network plan such as BlueCross BlueShield of Texas, UnitedHealthcare, Aetna, or Cigna, most Mansfield patients pay $0 to $30 per visit. Without insurance, a new-patient psychiatric evaluation is $250, a medication follow-up is $150, therapy is $150 for the first session and $125 after that, and a QbCheck ADHD test is $150. Mansfield ISD staff on TRS-ActiveCare are in network through the BlueCross BlueShield of Texas network.
What should I bring if I need a school evaluation or a 504/IEP letter for Mansfield ISD?
Bring the most recent report card, any teacher emails or behavior notes, and the results of any screening the school already did. If your child had a previous evaluation, bring that too. Tell us the name of the campus counselor or diagnostician who asked for the letter. After the evaluation, we write the clinical letter on request, and you take it to the campus 504 coordinator or the special education department to start the process. We write the medical side; the school runs its own eligibility steps.
Does Lyte take TRS-ActiveCare from Mansfield ISD?
Yes. TRS-ActiveCare medical plans use the BlueCross BlueShield of Texas network, and Lyte Psychiatry is in network with BlueCross BlueShield of Texas. Send us your card when you book and we will confirm your copay before the visit. You do not need a referral from a primary care doctor.
If I am starting ADHD medication, do I have to come in person?
For a stimulant, yes. Our policy is that the first evaluation happens in person at our Pantego clinic; follow-ups can be by video. Non-stimulant ADHD medication and everything else can start by video. From Mansfield that first visit is a drive up Matlock Rd, then video after that if you want it.
Is there parking, and what is the drive like from Mansfield?
Parking is on site at the Suite 111 entrance on W Park Row Dr. Coming from Mansfield, Matlock Rd is the simplest route and avoids I-20 traffic. If you are coming from the west side of town near Walnut Creek, take FM 157 north (it becomes Cooper St in Arlington) to Park Row and turn left. Either way you are inside Arlington's footprint the whole time.
