Discover, Educate, and Heal the Mind, Body, and Brain
Our vision is to meet the behavioral health needs of diverse communities across North Texas and beyond by increasing equitable access to psychiatric care and the latest advancements in neuroscience and psychiatry and preparing an effective workforce to achieve these objectives.
We train residents and fellows, medical students, clinical psychology, neuropsychology, and basic biomedical science graduate students, and postdoctoral research fellows in the most advanced methods of research and evidence-based patient care.
Perhaps the most exciting area in psychiatry is in the translational research between the basic sciences and the clinical domains. Our work in the neuroendocrinology of mood, brain imaging of addictive disorders, neurobiology of sleep and appetite, and cognitive neuroscience of stress produces a picture of disorders and treatments that spans psychiatry's disparate domains.
Our outstanding patient care is carried out in diverse hospital and clinical service settings, including UT Southwestern University Hospitals, Parkland Memorial Hospital, Dallas Veterans Affairs Medical Center, Children's Medical Center, Presbyterian Hospital Dallas, and Terrell State Hospital. Outpatient and specialty clinics extend our services to the community, and we collaborate with local community agencies to provide care for the greater Dallas/Fort Worth area.
