Dr. Anand Jayanti is a Board-Certified Psychiatrist with a passion for helping individuals and couples enhance their communication and emotional understanding. Born in India and raised throughout America, Dr. Jayanti's multicultural upbringing has deeply influenced his empathetic approach to psychiatry.

Dr. Jayanti earned his medical degree from Texas A&M College of Medicine and continued his training at The University of Texas at Austin. He completed his residency at the UT Health Science Center in Tyler and pursued a fellowship in Child & Adolescent Psychiatry at UT Dell in Austin.

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Finding psychiatrists in Laredo starts with knowing what type of care matches your needs. Psychiatrists and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners can diagnose mental health conditions and prescribe medication, while therapists focus on talk therapy. If you’re looking for support with anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, or medication management, a psychiatrist may be part of your care plan. Review each psychiatrist’s listed specialties, clinical focus, and approach to see whether their training matches what you want help with.
In a mid-sized city like Laredo, local office options may vary by neighborhood, schedule, and specialty. Virtual psychiatry can give you more appointment choices while in-person visits may work better if you prefer an office setting near Downtown, South Laredo, North Laredo, or nearby areas. Psychiatric appointments for medication management are often shorter and less frequent than therapy sessions, and some psychiatrists also offer therapy. Some people work with both a therapist and a prescriber, so it helps to read bios for details on appointment structure, communication style, and whether a free phone consultation is offered.
Psychiatric care in Laredo can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before you book. Headway helps you find psychiatrists who are accepting new patients, verify your insurance, and see an estimated cost upfront. You can compare profiles, choose between virtual and in-person options when available, and book directly when you’re ready.
If you're already taking psychiatric medication and considering switching providers, talk to your current prescriber before changing or stopping any medication — most psychiatric medications shouldn't be stopped abruptly. Anyone experiencing thoughts of self-harm or in acute crisis should call 988 or go to the nearest emergency department rather than wait for an outpatient appointment.
