Expert Providers & Comprehensive Care

Our board-certified psychiatrists, psychologists, and advanced practice providers are respected by their peers as authorities on all types of psychiatric conditions, such as depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, anxiety disorders, and eating disorders. Our specialty treatments for all major psychiatric disorders are located together to better meet the needs of our patients at our award-winning Multispecialty Psychiatry Clinic.

Children’s Medical Center Dallas has once again been recognized among the nation’s top children’s hospitals by U.S. News & World Report in its 2025-2026 Best Children's Hospital rankings. It is the only hospital in North Texas to be ranked in all 11 pediatric specialties evaluated by U.S. News, and one of only a select few nationwide to achieve this distinction. This marks the eighth consecutive year – and the 14th time since 2008 – that the hospital has earned recognition across every specialty area. The Behavioral Health program has again been ranked in the Top 50 programs nationally (no specific numerical ranking is provided for behavioral health programs).

Innovative Treatments & Collaborative Care

We have a strong regional reputation for treating the most complicated psychiatric conditions, incorporating state-of-the-art and experimental techniques, such as transcranial magnetic stimulation and magnetic seizure therapy, and implementing measurement-based care, a data-based advancement resulting in better care and improved safety. Our telehealth program allows patients to receive treatment in their homes, and our Psychiatry Medicine Integration team embeds behavioral specialists in non-psychiatric clinical settings to improve interdepartmental collaboration and patient outcomes. Our ICU COVID Communications Team was specially honored for contributing to extraordinary patient care in the pandemic.

Support for Child Mental Health

The State of Texas supports specialized programs for child mental health through the Texas Child Mental Health Care Consortium. These programs are delivered at Health-Related Institutions around the state, including UT Southwestern Medical Center.
