Dr. Garrett is a Texas-based psychiatrist who works with children, teens, young adults, and families navigating a wide range of emotional, behavioral, and developmental concerns. She has experience supporting patients with autism, ADHD, anxiety, mood disorders, eating-related concerns, adolescent substance use, and complex psychiatric presentations where symptoms do not fit neatly into one category.

Families often seek psychiatric care when they feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure what is really going on. Dr. Garrett takes a thoughtful and comprehensive approach to understanding each patient’s full picture, including developmental history, emotional health, family stressors, school functioning, relationships, school challenges, and any medical or environmental factors that may be contributing.

She is comfortable working with patients who have multiple overlapping concerns, such as autism with anxiety or irritability, ADHD with emotional dysregulation, anxiety with school avoidance, depression with low motivation, or adolescents struggling with eating concerns or substance use. Her goal is to help families better understand what may be driving the symptoms and create a treatment plan that feels clear, practical, and individualized.

Through Kiddo Psychiatry, Dr. Garrett is proud to support families across Texas with compassionate, evidence-based psychiatric care. She values collaboration with parents and caregivers while also helping young people feel heard, respected, and understood. She believes psychiatric care works best when families receive honest guidance, thoughtful education, and a plan that supports the child or teen at home, at school, and in daily life.
