Bluebird Psychiatry

About Bluebird Psychiatry

Healing Through Connection

Bluebird Psychiatry is an adult psychiatry practice in Austin, Texas, built on a simple belief: good mental health care starts with feeling genuinely seen and heard. We provide warm, thoughtful, evidence-based care for adults ages 18 to 65 — whether you're reaching out for the first time or looking for a practice that will truly partner with you over the long term.

Our approach to care

We practice collaborative, patient-focused psychiatry. That means we take time to understand your history, your goals, and what a fuller life looks like for you, then build a plan around you rather than fitting you into a template. We often work alongside your therapist, and we treat you as an active participant in your own care — someone who deserves to understand your diagnosis, your options, and the reasoning behind every recommendation.

Our team

Bluebird was founded and is led by Samantha Symons, MD, a board-certified psychiatrist. Alongside her, our team of psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners provides the attentive, day-to-day care our patients know us for — all within a collaborative, physician-led model. It's a structure designed to give you both accessibility and depth of expertise: more availability when you need to be seen, backed by experienced psychiatric leadership.

What we help with

We care for adults navigating a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression and other mood disorders, ADHD, PTSD, insomnia, and women's mental health — supported by thoughtful, ongoing medication management.

All are welcome here

We're committed to providing affirming psychiatric care to people of every ethnicity, orientation, and identity — a space where you can show up exactly as you are and be met with respect and without judgment.
