Zee2023-10-30Taeler Morris is amazing, she helped me so much when I moved to Texas. So much so that even when she was out of network, I still went to this office because you cannot get this kind of patient care everywhere. If I could give her 10 stars I would. Dr. Toutounchi is also excellent about getting meds out fast so you dont have any gaps, even for forgetful people like me.
Beth S2023-09-04Absolutely love Dr. T and Taeler! The best team! They are always available and respond promptly to any concerns.
Brad Sebastian2023-07-21Erica is the best! In an era where healthcare is becoming increasingly automated and impersonal, Erica, and the entire team at Aura MD take personalized patient care to the next level. They go above and beyond to take care of their patients and always either answer the phone or return calls promptly whenever an issue arises. Highly recommended.
Trey Fuller2023-07-14Erica Roundtree is without a doubt a very important employee going above and beyond to help patients in need. .....Thanks Erica
megan B2023-03-15Both Mrs Kathy and taeler are both so sweet and attentive, they care so much about there patients and are both just so awesome. Taeler is my doctor and she is so sweet and kind, and actually listens to everything I have to say. She is literally the best doctor I have ever had. I was desperately suffering from my severe ADHD and when I first started seeing taeler, she literally saved my life by creating an amazing treatment plan/medication to help manage and cure my ADHD and get my life back on track. Book an appointment with them. You will not regret it!!! Also there telemedicine appointments are so so convenient and awesome, especially for my nonstop busy schedule!!
Michael2023-03-10I had the pleasure of getting an initial evaluation with Aya for my ADD symptoms and was thoroughly impressed with her approach. From the first session, I felt comfortable talking with her about my concerns and struggles. She listened intently, asked thoughtful questions, and provided insightful feedback. I appreciated how she took the time to understand my unique situation and provided personalized recommendations.

The first visit is typically an online visit or at one of our primary offices (located in Houston or Dallas) with a board-certified mental health expert, which usually lasts 45-60 minutes.
Your provider will perform a full initial evaluation likely with a much better patient experience than what you’ve received from other providers.
We do not cut corners or skip any important aspects of a full initial evaluation. We are concise and create individualized treatment plans to help you meet your goals.
For self-pay or out-of-network patients, there are standard rates depending on the provider of whom you choose to see.
Dr. Ashley Toutounchi:
Initial consultation: $550
Medication management follow-ups: $179.
Mid-Level Providers: Brandon Provost, NP-C, Taeler Morris, PA-C, Lauren Rudie, PA-C, Tracy Ostrewich, PA-C
Initial Consultation: $350
Follow-up appointments: $139
We typically see patients monthly initially only until your treatment plan is stabilized and then as soon as possible will continue your care typically with visits once every 2-3 months. Of course, you can always move up your appointment when needed.
We accept Cigna and Magellan (Blue Advantage HMO) plans only.
If you are out of network or do not have insurance, we are happy to provide you a superbill that you can present to your insurance carrier for out-of-network reimbursement. This percentage varies by your insurance carrier but typically is around 50-70% reimbursement you can expect your insurance company to reimburse you directly for expenses paid for office visits.
We do accept HSA/FSA as forms of payment.
For self pay or out of network patients, we are happy to provide you a superbill that you can submit to your insurance provider for out of network reimbursement. This is when your insurance plan will reimburse you directly a portion of your out of pocket fees paid for your appointment.
You can find your specific insurance plan out of network benefit information typically in the Summary of Benefits in your information packet or your insurance company’s website. The best way to be absolutely sure of your benefits is to clarify with your insurance company member services line. You can find this phone number on the back of your insurance card.
No, not at all
We often see patients who haven’t seen a mental health provider previously. We also accept patients who are wanting to transfer care from their current psychiatrist or mental health provider or patients that have a prior history of seeing a mental health professional consistently in the past.
We can diagnose and treat your current issues without any history of prior treatment.
All visits with your Aura MD provider are currently performed through a secure online video visit via Zoom or in person at one of our primary locations in Houston or Dallas.
We will continue to offer virtual appointments for patients who prefer that option. Our goal is to provide you with the highest quality care in the setting that you are most comfortable.
All patients will be required to be seen for an in office visit by December 2024 due to federal regulations.
Life happens, we get it. We are happy to reschedule you when needed.
We never overbook and truly value your time and appreciate that courtesy reciprocated for our provider’s time as well.
You will be responsible for the entire out-of-pocket appointment fee if you do not notify us within the designated time frame.
New Patient Appointments: Please remember to cancel or reschedule at least 48 business hours in advance.
Follow Up Appointments: Please be mindful to cancel or reschedule at least 1 full business day in advance.
