Kenneth Zon, MD

I believe you deserve time, careful assessment, and a collaborative partnership. I provide holistic, individualized care for ADHD, depression, anxiety, OCD, PTSD, bipolar disorder, and other complex conditions. My primary focus is medication management, with mindfulness, supportive therapy, and CBT to empower you.

I begin with a thorough assessment to understand your history, concerns, goals, and needs. Together, we develop an individualized treatment plan and adjust it as needed. I also have training in psychodynamic and DBT and may recommend adding a therapist when specialized therapy would be helpful.

‍

I believe every patient has an individual story and background that deserves to be understood. I prioritize listening to your concerns and fostering a safe, comfortable space where you can feel heard and open about what you are experiencing.

I begin by thoroughly reviewing your history, symptoms, concerns, and goals during our initial session. From there, I collaborate with you to develop a treatment plan focused on your mental health needs and goals. Because everyone's needs can change, treatment plans remain dynamic, and I can adjust our approach based on your response and progress.

I create a warm, respectful, and nonjudgmental environment where you can feel comfortable discussing your concerns. I believe treatment works best when we collaborate on clear, realistic goals based on your needs, values, and preferences.

I take a patient-centered approach and meet you where you are. My relaxed, conversational style helps you feel comfortable discussing what matters most. I want to understand what is bothering you, how it affects your life, and what you would like to change. I value continuity of care and believe treatment should realistically fit your life.

I begin with a detailed evaluation of your concerns, history, previous treatments, and how symptoms affect daily functioning. We discuss my impressions and treatment options, your preferences, and what you can realistically expect. At follow-ups, we consider what has improved, what remains difficult, and whether treatment is helping. Sometimes recovery involves more than medication changes, including reducing demands when symptoms or burnout affect functioning.

I am a board-certified adult psychiatrist with over 30 years of experience. I earned my medical degree from the University of Texas Health Sciences Center in Houston and completed residency training at Texas & M-Scott & White in Temple. I am happily married, with two wonderful adult sons and a lovely daughter-in-law. My hobbies are reading, sports, music, and history.

Psychiatry has always been more than just a job, as I chose this calling at the age of 14 after growing up with a severely mentally-ill mother. This experience has shaped my style as a provider - seeing each person as more than just another "patient." I will empathetically listen to you in a non-judgemental fashion to understand your detailed history, and will work with you to create an individualized treatment plan.

I use pharmacology and supportive therapy, as well as mindfulness and motivational interviewing. I respond quickly to your inquiries and pride myself on keeping up to date with the latest in psychiatry.

I have practiced clinical Psychiatry, predominantly in the outpatient setting, with over a decade of post-graduate inpatient experience, since completing my psychiatric residency at the University of Connecticut Health Sciences Center in 2008.

I have been certified by the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology since 2009.

I am a collaborative physician, interested in the full picture of a patient’s life and inviting questions and discussion about what is and is not pathology, and which treatment plans fit an individual’s goals and lifestyle. I am often praised as “the only one who ever explains things,” and have won awards as the best mental health provider in my region twice in recent years.

With a substantial background in psychotherapeutic training, I work to minimize and justify the role of psychotropic medication in my patients’ lives, regularly reviewing propriety and necessity. Front and center is always quality of life, not impersonal diagnostic categories. I strive to help my patients “meet themselves where they are” as individuals, with an emphasis on resilience. My ultimate goal is to no longer be necessary.

I earned my medical degree from Universidad Central del Caribe in Puerto Rico and completed my psychiatry residency at John Peter Smith Hospital in Fort Worth, Texas, with extensive training in community outpatient, inpatient, and emergency psychiatry settings. I am fluent in English and Spanish.

I believe human connection and empathy are foundational to healing. I prioritize making my patients feel heard and understood and strive to meet each person where they are. I consider each patient’s unique history, goals, and psychological, physical, cultural, and spiritual background when providing care.

In addition to medication management, I incorporate lifestyle modifications, stress management, and focused psychotherapy into treatment. When appropriate, I may recommend working with a psychotherapist and, with your consent, communicate collaboratively with that provider to support coordinated care.

I am a double board-certified adult and child/adolescent psychiatrist who believes the person sitting in front of me is more than a diagnosis. I believe in individualized, patient-centered care and in meeting people where they are. My approach is collaborative, with trust, transparency, and truly getting to know each person at the center.

I believe patients should have autonomy in decisions about their health. My role is to listen, educate, provide support, and help patients make informed decisions consistent with their goals and values. I do not simply tell someone what medication to take; we develop the treatment plan together.

My first appointment is often less about checking boxes and more about, “Let me get to know you.” I listen to the patient’s story and strive to understand the whole person. My practice combines evidence-based medication management with supportive psychotherapy and, when appropriate, CBT, mindfulness, emotional regulation, behavioral activation, and other therapeutic tools. Medication may be important, but lifestyle changes and therapy are also part of the larger picture.
