Henry Guajardo, MD

Henry Guajardo, MD

Staff Psychiatrist

Dr. Henry Guajardo is a psychiatrist who strives to help people overcome their challenges, not merely endure them. He earned his M.D. from UT Southwestern Medical Center and completed psychiatry residency at Baylor College of Medicine, where he served as Chief Resident of the outpatient clinic. He also trained at The Menninger Clinic, a world-renowned inpatient treatment center. He has worked with individuals facing burnout, relationship conflict, attention and focus difficulties, anxiety, attachment issues, childhood trauma, and questions of meaning and purpose.  

Dr. Guajardo’s reassuring demeanor sets patients at ease, allowing them to open up at their own pace. He uses psychotherapy as a core part of his treatment approach, drawing from motivational interviewing (helping patients find their own reasons for change) and psychodynamic psychotherapy (exploring how past experiences shape current patterns). He has ample experience managing complex cases, and is adept with advanced medication approaches for patients with refractory symptoms. He also has expertise supporting patients who are taking a closer look at their relationship with alcohol, nicotine, cannabis, or compulsive behaviors such as gambling or pornography use.

Dr. Guajardo uses the initial appointment as an opportunity to understand his patient’s background thoroughly and define treatment goals. He aims to thoughtfully interweave medication management and psychotherapy at every visit.

Holly Shiao, MD

Staff Psychiatrist

I am a psychiatrist interested in the mind-body connection in overall emotional and mental well-being. I have worked extensively with medically complex patients, including a special focus in psycho-oncology with cancer patients. I like to integrate therapy modalities, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, supportive therapy, mindfulness and meditation with medication management to optimize a patient's mental health.

I am double board-certified in Consultation-Liaison Psychiatry and Adult Psychiatry and have been practicing for over 7 years. Before Talkiatry, I worked as an Assistant Professor at the University of Washington and Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center. I also worked as an Assistant Professor and was Director of Emergency Psychiatry at the University of Chicago. I have presented nationally at the Academy of Consultation-Liaison Psychiatry and written a book chapter about psycho-oncology.

I attended medical school at John P. and Kathrine G. McGovern Medical School at the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston. I then completed an Adult Psychiatry residency at the University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston, followed by a Consultation-Liaison fellowship at Dell Medical School at the University of Texas at Austin.

James Bolton, MD

Staff Psychiatrist

I will do my best to thoroughly and carefully work with my patients to determine the most accurate psychiatric diagnosis or diagnoses possible. While working together, I may ask sensitive questions, but will do so in a nonjudgmental way with the only goal of helping my patients. I also work in psychotherapy techniques during our sessions. I take a holistic approach when working with patients, one that focuses on multiple aspects of their lives. I pride myself on creating a safe and nonjudgmental space where the focus is simply on helping patients. I strive to work collaboratively with my patients to ensure that we are both on the same page when it comes to their mental healthcare.

I was born and raised in South Texas and was a teacher before becoming a physician. I completed medical school training and residency at Texas Tech Health Sciences Center in Lubbock, TX. I have wanted to be a psychiatrist for as long as I can remember.

James Ritchie, DO

James Ritchie, DO

Staff Psychiatrist

I am trained in both adult and child & adolescent psychiatry, with a focus on the diagnosis and treatment of depressive disorders, anxiety disorders, trauma- and stressor-related disorders, and ADHD. I emphasize a holistic approach, combining medication management and psychotherapy, and I utilize principles from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and supportive psychotherapy. This method is supported by research indicating improved patient outcomes.

I received my bachelor's degree in biology with a minor in French from The University of Central Florida. I completed medical school at Campbell University School of Osteopathic Medicine, followed by a General Psychiatry residency and Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Fellowship at Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center. My professional experience includes working in inpatient psychiatric hospitals, consult-liaison psychiatry, outpatient clinics, intensive outpatient programs (IOP), partial hospitalization programs (PHP), and emergency rooms. This broad range of experience allows me to provide comprehensive, individualized care to patients at all stages of life.

Patients can anticipate a thorough initial evaluation during their first visit with me. I conduct a comprehensive assessment to understand the patient's symptoms, history, and personal circumstances. This session sets the foundation for collaboratively developing an individualized treatment plan focused on the patient's specific needs and goals.

Jason Chin, MD

I value patient autonomy and strive to provide the knowledge needed for patients to make informed decisions. I prioritize building a strong therapeutic alliance and integrating evidence-based medicine to guide care.

I also specialize in interventional treatments, including Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT) and Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS).

Jency Sachidanandam, MD

Staff Psychiatrist

I emphasize the importance of addressing both physical and mental health to achieve a good quality of life. I believe that mental health is interconnected with physical well-being and that treating one aspect without the other leads to incomplete care. My holistic approach involves medication management, psychotherapy, and lifestyle modifications to promote overall health. I am skilled in providing supportive psychotherapy and using psychodynamic therapy techniques to help patients understand and address their current stressors and underlying issues.

I completed my Residency and Fellowship at Texas Tech University Health Science Center in El Paso, gaining extensive training in diagnosing and treating various psychiatric conditions. As a Child and Adolescent Psychiatrist at Texas Tech, I work with a diverse patient population, addressing psychiatric disorders like depression, anxiety, bipolar disorders, PTSD, and OCD.

I have shown a genuine commitment to my patients and a passion for helping them achieve their best possible outcomes. I am dedicated to staying current with the latest advancements in psychiatry and continuously improving my skills to provide the highest standard of care. My compassionate and patient-centered approach has earned me the respect and trust of my patients and colleagues alike.

Find a psychiatrist in Austin, TX

Getting a psychiatry appointment in Austin can mean long waits and a short list of nearby providers who are taking new patients. Online psychiatry changes that. You can meet with a psychiatrist licensed in Texas by secure video, from home or anywhere in the Austin area, without sitting on a waitlist for months.

Because care is online, you are not limited to the clinicians who are close to you. You get matched based on your needs, then meet from wherever you are.

Online psychiatry for Austin residents

When you start with Talkiatry, you answer a few questions about your location, what you are dealing with, and your mental health history. From there, you get matched with a psychiatrist licensed in Texas, so you can be seen by video from anywhere in Austin.

Your first appointment lasts 60 minutes, which gives you time to talk through your symptoms, ask questions, and work with your psychiatrist on a plan that fits your life. Follow-up visits are usually about 30 minutes. Every visit happens by video, so there is no commute and no office to drive to across town.

What a psychiatrist in Austin can help with

Talkiatry psychiatrists are medical doctors who evaluate what you are experiencing and personalize care around it. Medication may be one part of your plan, but it is never the automatic result of a visit. Depending on your needs and availability, therapy may also be part of the plan, and psychiatrists work alongside therapists to support that.

Psychiatrists at Talkiatry work with people on conditions such as:

  • Anxiety: ongoing worry, tension, or panic that gets in the way of daily life.
  • Depression: low mood, loss of interest, or fatigue that lasts for weeks.
  • ADHD: trouble with focus, follow-through, and impulsivity across settings.

Mental health care in Austin

Across Texas, there are 393 designated mental health Health Professional Shortage Areas covering about 13.44 million people, and only about 32.2% of the need for psychiatric care is currently met (KFF). For someone in Austin, that shortage is one reason appointments can be hard to find and wait times can feel long. Online psychiatry helps by connecting you with a licensed psychiatrist across the state, rather than limiting your options to the providers in your immediate area.

Does insurance cover a psychiatrist in Austin?

Talkiatry is in-network with major insurers, and your coverage is verified during the free assessment before you schedule a visit. What you pay out of pocket depends on your specific plan, so it is worth confirming the details with your insurer. You will not need to look up your insurance information ahead of time; the assessment checks it for you.

Common questions about psychiatric care in Austin, TX

Can I see a psychiatrist online in Austin?

Yes. You can meet with a psychiatrist licensed in Texas by secure video from anywhere in Austin. You get matched after a short online assessment, then schedule your first visit.

Do I need a referral to see a psychiatrist in Austin?

No referral is needed to get started with Talkiatry. You begin with a free online assessment, and if online psychiatry is a good fit, you get matched with a psychiatrist licensed in Texas.

Does insurance cover online psychiatry in Austin?

Talkiatry is in-network with major insurers, and your coverage is checked during the free assessment before you schedule. Your out-of-pocket cost depends on your plan, so confirm the specifics with your insurer.

Can I get a prescription from an online psychiatrist in Austin?

A psychiatrist can prescribe and manage medication when it is clinically appropriate and legally permitted. Medication is one possible part of a plan, not a guaranteed outcome, and your psychiatrist decides with you based on your evaluation.

Why is it so hard to see a psychiatrist in Austin?

Texas has a shortage of psychiatric providers, so local appointments can fill up and waits can be long. Online psychiatry helps by matching you with a licensed psychiatrist across the state instead of only those near you.

Many people are seen within days rather than months. Timing depends on your schedule and match, so there is no fixed promise, but online scheduling is designed to be faster than waiting for a nearby opening.
