Our Mission

The mission of the UTHealth Houston Center for Interventional Psychiatry is to provide exceptional, evidence-based care for individuals with severe, complex, and treatment-resistant psychiatric illness, while advancing innovation, education, and research in interventional psychiatry.

We are committed to:

• Delivering timely, personalized, and outcomes-driven treatment across the full continuum of care
• Matching each patient to the most appropriate level and modality of treatment based on clinical need, safety, and prior response
• Expanding access to effective interventional and neuromodulation therapies for patients with the most significant illness burden
• Advancing the science and practice of psychiatry through clinical research and national collaboration
• Educating and training the next generation of clinicians and leaders in interventional psychiatry

Through compassionate care, rigorous clinical standards, and a commitment to continuous improvement, the Center seeks to improve outcomes for patients and families while advancing UTHealth Houston’s broader mission in education, research, and patient care.
