Welcome! We’re glad you’re here. Thank you for choosing our office to provide psychiatric care for you and/or your family. Know that it is a privilege for us during this time to walk together with you towards wholeness and wellness.
Our practice offers general and child/adolescent psychiatric care.
We see new patients up to the age of 59.
Unfortunately, we do not accept any insurance plans, so we are not able to provide services for anyone on Medicare or Medicaid. We are happy to provide the necessary receipts to our patients so that they can file with their own insurance company.
In the event of inclement weather, our office will run according to the Fort Worth ISD schedule.

In this informative interview with What’s On Your Mind, Dr. Tatum addresses Christians' resistance to medication.
The soul is the oft forgotten center and most fundamental part of the person. I hope that this “prescription” will help you want to set your will to attend to your soul.
