Psychiatric Care Second to None
Psychiatric Care Second to None
Individual therapy and psychiatry in one practice, so your therapist and your prescriber are actually on the same page.
Psych Dimensions provides psychotherapy and therapy services at the Georgetown, TX location at 918 S Interstate 35, Georgetown, TX 78628. The practice has served patients across Williamson County since 2015. Call (512) 535-3777 to schedule a therapy intake or a holistic psychiatry evaluation.
Therapy at Psych Dimensions is structured clinical treatment, not open ended conversation. Supportive counseling can help you get through a hard week. Psychotherapy is designed to change the patterns behind ongoing anxiety, depression, trauma, and stress. Each patient works toward defined goals using specific, evidence based methods, and progress is reviewed along the way.
Many patients who need both therapy and psychiatric medication management end up with two separate providers who have never spoken to each other. One manages the medication. The other provides therapy. Neither has full visibility into what the other is doing. The patient carries information between them and hopes the care is coordinated.
That is a common situation. It is also a suboptimal one.
At Psych Dimensions Georgetown, therapy and psychiatry are available within the same practice. The therapist and the prescriber communicate. Treatment decisions are made with full awareness of what each provider is doing. For patients who need both services, this integrated structure produces better clinical outcomes and a much less frustrating patient experience.
The therapists at Psych Dimensions are master’s level clinicians licensed in Texas, with advanced training in multiple evidence based treatment methods. You can read about each therapist on our Therapeutic Staff page. Here is what is available at the Georgetown location.
CBT is grounded in the concept that thoughts, feelings, physical sensations, and behaviors are interconnected, and that changing the patterns in one area creates change in the others. It is the most extensively researched psychotherapy for anxiety and depression, and it is practical and skills focused. Sessions involve learning to identify thought patterns that cause distress, challenge them, and build more functional responses. CBT is a time limited, goal oriented approach.
DBT was developed for patients with significant emotional dysregulation and incorporates four core skill areas: mindfulness, interpersonal effectiveness, distress tolerance, and emotional regulation. It is particularly effective for patients with intense emotional responses, self destructive behaviors, or significant difficulty in relationships. DBT has strong evidence for mood disorders, anxiety, PTSD, and substance use disorders.
EMDR is a structured trauma processing therapy with strong research support. It uses bilateral stimulation, typically eye movements guided by the therapist, to help patients process distressing memories that have not been fully integrated. EMDR is particularly effective for PTSD, trauma, and anxiety rooted in specific past experiences.
A goal directed, collaborative approach that focuses on creating specific positive changes rather than extensive exploration of past problems. Effective for patients who want practical, forward looking support and for presentations where a specific, defined goal is appropriate. Faster moving than insight oriented approaches.
The Psych Dimensions therapists have advanced training in the following areas.
EMDR and trauma informed therapy approaches for patients with significant traumatic history, whether recent or from the distant past.
Structured therapeutic support for grief and loss, including complicated grief that has not responded to time and support alone.
CBT and DBT are highly effective for anxiety disorders. Therapy is often appropriate as a primary intervention for anxiety, or in combination with medication.
CBT and DBT both have strong evidence for depression treatment. Therapy is frequently combined with medication management for moderate to severe depression.
The team holds advanced training in addiction and provides therapy for patients managing substance use disorders, often alongside medication assisted treatment.
Individual therapy that addresses interpersonal patterns, communication challenges, and relationship functioning.
Medication helps with focus, but many adults with ADHD also need practical skills. Therapy for ADHD works on organization, planning, time management, follow through, and the frustration that often comes with the condition. For patients who also take ADHD medication, the therapist and prescriber coordinate directly. Learn more about ADHD treatment in Georgetown
For patients who are also working with the Psych Dimensions psychiatric team on anxiety or depression treatment, therapy can be coordinated directly within the practice. The therapist and the prescriber have shared access to the clinical picture.
Patients who come initially for therapy and are later determined to need medication management can be referred to the psychiatric team within the same practice. No outside referral is needed, and no change of practice.
Therapy sessions are available by secure video for patients who cannot easily get to the office or who prefer to meet from home. Video sessions use the same therapists, the same methods, and the same coordination with your prescriber as in person visits. All Psych Dimensions providers are licensed in Texas, so telehealth is available to patients who are located in Texas at the time of the session. Many patients combine the two, starting in person and moving some sessions to video once care is established. Ask about telehealth when you schedule your intake.
The first therapy appointment at Psych Dimensions is an intake session. The therapist gathers information about your history, current concerns, and goals for therapy. This appointment is also about fit, finding out whether this therapist and this approach feel right for you.
Fit matters. Research drawing on hundreds of studies has found that the working relationship between patient and therapist is one of the most consistent predictors of whether therapy helps. If the fit is not right, you can ask to work with a different therapist within the practice.
By the end of the intake session, you and the therapist will have a beginning sense of the treatment approach that makes most sense, what goals you are working toward, and what the cadence of therapy will look like.
Most therapy sessions following the intake are 50 minutes. Frequency is typically weekly at the start of treatment and may reduce as you make progress.
It is reasonable to ask questions before committing to a therapist. Useful questions include:
A good practice will answer each of these directly. At Psych Dimensions, you can ask them when you call to schedule or during your intake appointment.
Psych Dimensions accepts BCBS, Medicare, Aetna, Cigna, Optum, UnitedHealthcare, Humana, Sana, Curative, and Baylor Scott and White Health Plan for therapy services, as well as self pay. Therapy coverage varies by plan, including copays and visit limits. Contact the Georgetown office before your first appointment and our staff will verify your benefits.
New patients can call (512) 535-3777 to schedule a therapy intake appointment or a holistic psychiatry evaluation. The office is open Monday through Thursday until 7pm, and most new patients are seen within a few days of their initial call.

Christopher Thomas at Psych Dimensions in Georgetown, Texas has been wonderful to work with. I’ve had both face-to-face and video appointments, and every experience has been positive. Dr. Thomas took the time to truly get to know me and made me feel heard and understood. He listened carefully and worked thoughtfully with me to address my anxiety and insomnia rather than rushing through appointments. I always felt supported and respected, and I’m very grateful for the care I’ve received. I would highly recommend Dr. Thomas to anyone looking for a compassionate and attentive psychiatrist.

Many people do well with therapy alone. Medication is worth considering when symptoms are severe enough to disrupt sleep, appetite, concentration, work, or relationships, or when therapy alone has not brought enough improvement. Your therapist can refer you to the Psych Dimensions psychiatric team for an evaluation within the same practice, and the decision is made together with you.
Medication changes are handled by your prescriber. Because your therapist and prescriber work in the same practice, your therapist can share what they are seeing in sessions, and your prescriber can let your therapist know about any change. Both parts of your care work from the same information.
