Every child deserves the chance to heal and grow after experiencing trauma. The B.R.Y.T.E. Program at UTHealth Houston McGovern Medical School is dedicated to helping children ages 4–11 who have been exposed to domestic violence. Through compassionate, evidence-based therapy delivered virtually in both English and Spanish, this initiative offers a safe space for young minds to build resilience and reclaim their sense of well-being. If you know a child who could benefit from support, this program is here to help, with no cost to families. Let’s spread the word and support healing in our community.

UTHealth Psychiatry

Welcome to the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at McGovern Medical School. Our team of faculty and staff is dedicated to our missions of education, research and patient care.

Through education, we train the students, residents and fellows of today to become the mental health care leaders of tomorrow – whether in public or private sectors, in solo or group practice, as researchers, educators or clinicians. Our training programs include general psychiatry residency, child and adolescent psychiatry fellowship and psychology internship. Our faculty members are also involved in the medical school program through their behavioral sciences course, clinical clerkships and fourth-year elective rotations.

In research, our faculty and staff are at the forefront of the exploration of the causes of and treatments for mental illness. Great strides have been made in recent years through research – some at our institution. We have research centers that study mood disorders and addictions, as well as labs devoted to molecular psychiatry and behavioral sciences research.
