    The PsyClinic brings comprehensive mental health care to Uptown Houston

    Dec 17, 2025 | 2:30 pm

    In the heart of Uptown Houston, The PsyClinic is redefining what modern mental health care can look like: comprehensive, compassionate, and grounded in evidence-based medicine. Located at 2400 Mid Lane, Suite 210, near the River Oaks District, the clinic offers a full spectrum of psychiatric and therapy services designed to support patients at every stage of their mental health journey.

    At the helm is board-certified adult and child psychiatrist Mohamed S. Ahmed, MD, whose goal is to provide high-quality psychiatric care to men, women, and families living in River Oaks, Webster, Baytown, and across Harris County. Dr. Ahmed and his multidisciplinary team combine clinical expertise with a patient-centered philosophy, emphasizing that psychotherapy is an essential component of treatment and that medication alone is rarely the answer.

    Personalized, holistic care
    Every new patient at The PsyClinic begins with a thorough psychiatric evaluation. Dr. Ahmed gathers detailed information about the patient’s mental health history, lifestyle, and specific concerns, creating a custom-tailored treatment plan designed to relieve uncomfortable symptoms and enhance overall quality of life.

    Dr. Ahmed diagnoses and treats a wide range of psychiatric disorders, including ADHD, anxiety, autism, bipolar disorder, sleep disorders, and depression. He also specializes in adolescent psychiatry, providing sensitive and developmentally appropriate care for teens and young adults.

    Advanced treatments for depression
    Among The PsyClinic’s most notable offerings are advanced, FDA-approved treatments for depression, including transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and Spravato (esketamine nasal spray).

    TMS is a non-invasive therapy approved for Major Depressive Disorder and Treatment-Resistant Depression, as well as depression associated with OCD. By stimulating specific brain regions involved in mood regulation, TMS has been shown to improve mood, focus, and overall functioning. The treatment is well tolerated, does not require anesthesia, and is covered by most major insurance plans.

    Spravato represents another breakthrough option for patients who have not responded to traditional antidepressants or who experience major depression with suicidal thoughts. Administered under clinical supervision, this FDA-approved therapy acts on glutamate pathways in the brain and can provide rapid symptom relief, sometimes within hours. Like TMS, Spravato is covered by most insurance plans, making cutting-edge care more accessible.

    Comprehensive therapy and diagnostic services
    Beyond advanced depression treatments, The PsyClinic offers a wide range of therapy services, including individual, couples, and family therapy.

    Clinicians utilize evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT), and trauma-informed care. Patients can choose between in-person sessions and convenient online options.

    The clinic also provides ADD/ADHD computerized testing for children, adolescents, and adults. These evidence-based assessments support accurate diagnosis and more effective, personalized treatment planning.

    Integrated psychiatric care
    Psychiatric diagnosis and medication management are central components of The PsyClinic’s integrated model. Comprehensive evaluations and personalized medication plans are designed to work hand in hand with therapy, ensuring continuity of care. Both in-person and telehealth appointments are available, offering flexibility for busy schedules.

    A patient-centered approach in Uptown Houston
    What sets The PsyClinic apart is its emphasis on compassion, expertise, and innovation. Dr. Ahmed and his team are committed to holistic care that respects each patient’s unique needs and goals. New patients are welcome, most major insurance plans are accepted, and services are accessible both in-person and online.

    For those seeking thoughtful, advanced mental health care in Houston, The PsyClinic is ready to help. Learn more online, call 281-837-MIND, or email contact@thepsyclinic.com.

    Porch pirates swipe nearly $2B in packages from Texas homes this year

    The Grinch isn't the only one stealing Christmas these days.

    ’Tis the season for porch pirates. If past trends are an indicator, the Grinch will swipe close to $2 billion worth of packages delivered to Texas households this year, with many of those thefts happening ahead of the holiday season.

    An analysis of FBI and survey data by ecommerce marketing company Omnisend shows porch pirates stole more than $1.8 billion worth of packages from Texans’ porches last year. Porch pirates hit nearly one-third of the state’s households in 2024, according to the analysis.

    Omnisend’s analysis reveals these statistics about porch piracy in Texas:

    • 30.1 million residential package thefts in 2024.
    • An average household loss of $169 per year.
    • An annual average of 2.9 package thefts per household.

    “Most stolen items are cheap on their own, but add them up, and retailers and consumers are facing an enormous bill,” says Omnisend.

    Another data analysis, this one from The Action Network sports betting platform, unwraps different figures regarding porch piracy in Texas.

    The platform’s 2025 Porch Pirate Index ranks Texas as the state with the highest volume of residential thefts, based on 2023-24 FBI data.

    Researchers at The Action Network uncovered 26,293 reports of personal property thefts at Texas residences during that period. The network’s survey data indicates 5 percent of Texas residents had a package stolen in the three months before the pre-holiday survey.

    The Porch Pirate Index calculates a 25.8 percent risk of a Texas household being victimized by porch pirates, putting it in the No. 5 spot among states with the highest risk of porch piracy.

    The Action Network included online-search volume for terms like “package stolen” and “porch pirates.” Sustained spikes in these searches suggest that “people are actively looking for guidance after something has happened. Search trends serve as an early warning system, revealing emerging-risk areas well before annual crime statistics are released,” the network says.

    Tips to avoid being a victim
    So, how do you prevent porch pirates from snatching packages that end up on your porch? Omnisend, The Action Network and Amazon offer these eight tips:

    1. Closely monitor deliveries and quickly retrieve packages.
    2. Schedule deliveries for times when you’ll be home.
    3. Use delivery lockers or in-store pickup when possible.
    4. Ask delivery services to hide packages in out-of-sight spots outside your home.
    5. Install a visible doorbell camera or security camera.
    6. Coordinate deliveries with neighbors or building managers if you’ll be away from your home when packages are supposed to arrive.
    7. Request that delivery services hold your packages if you can’t be home when they’re scheduled to come.
    8. Illuminate the path to your doorstep and keep porch lights on.
