Specialties

Welcome to Benjamin’s Behavioral Health Services

Benjamin’s Behavioral Health Services, PLLC first opened its doors in Austin, Texas. The clinic joined a group of physicians in 2013, then became its own entity once again and relocated its services to the greater Houston area.

As part of your holistic care, we may facilitate referrals to other health-​allied services including: other specialists, psychotherapists, and advocate and support groups. In addition, we provide you with educational tools to improve your overall health.

Laboratory analysis, including genetic testing and blood work may be included as part of the treatment plan to rule out underlying organic causes for the psychiatric projection. An in-​depth genetic analysis of liver enzymes can also be completed to help guide medication selection, when appropriate.

After their initial assessment, patients can expect a treatment plan. This may entail a prescribed medication, referral to therapy, a combination of both, or referral to other specialists if appropriate.
