Founded by two Dallas based Psychiatrists and a former Behavioral Health Executive, Psych Now understands the challenges faced by behavioral health hospitals and acute care hospitals alike... Access to psychiatrists. Of the 254 counties in the state of Texas, 185 have no psychiatrist as reported by the University of Texas at Austin in an article on July 7, 2016 titled "Texas Lawmakers Must Address the Mental Health Workforce Shortage". This is a nationwide problem but most notably in the state of Texas where the legislature recently approved a bill that would pay off student loans of mental health professionals who agree to work in under-served areas. It isn't just the access that prevents hospitals and other entities from being able to connect with highly qualified psychiatrists, it is the price point. Psych Now wants to provide an exceptional team of psychiatrists at a price point that makes sense to your budget.
