Meet Paul Hunnicutt
I’m a proud native of Texas and have been dedicated to serving the mental health needs of Texans since 2013. After completing 20 years of service in the U.S. Army, I began my nursing career in telemetry and quickly found myself drawn to the deeper, human side of care—mental health.
​
That passion led me to earn my Master of Science in Nursing from Walden University and become an ANCC Board-Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I began my advanced practice work in an outpatient setting, where I developed a clear vision for delivering personalized, evidence-based psychiatric care.
In July 2022, I founded Texas Mental Health and Wellness Center, PLLC, committed to providing accessible, veteran-owned, practitioner-led mental health services. We proudly opened our doors in the Fall of 2022, offering individualized care for adults struggling with anxiety, OCD, trauma, insomnia, and more—delivered with compassion, clarity, and clinical precision.
Practice Areas
I currently see patients exclusively through secure telemedicine. My role is to evaluate, prescribe, and manage psychiatric medications, while also helping you understand your options through clear, practical education.
​
If I believe your needs would be better met through therapy or a different kind of treatment, I’ll let you know directly and help guide you to the right resources. My goal is to get you the care that works—even if it’s not with me.
01
Diagnostic Services
Treatment starts with a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation where we’ll review your current symptoms, personal history, and medical background.
​
From there, I’ll work with you to establish a clear diagnosis and develop a personalized treatment plan. Every step is collaborative and based on your experiences, goals, and what’s most likely to help you move forward.

02
After your initial evaluation and once we’ve outlined your treatment plan, you’ll have follow-up visits to monitor your progress.
​
These sessions are focused on what’s working, what’s not, and how you’re feeling overall. If needed, we’ll adjust your medications to ensure you’re getting the best possible results with the least side effects. The goal is steady, meaningful improvement.
03
Telemedicine
I offer convenient, secure telemedicine appointments through our online video platform—designed to make care more accessible and consistent, no matter where you are.
​
Your treatment will be focused on practical goals: improving daily function, reducing distress, and helping you feel more in control of your mental health.
05
Therapy
My primary focus is medication management. While I offer limited supportive and motivational therapy during follow-up visits, I do not provide therapy as a stand-alone service. I strongly encourage ongoing work with a dedicated therapist for long-term progress.
I can assist with coping strategies and practical tools to help manage anxiety, obsessive thoughts, depression, and related symptoms.
When needed, I’ll collaborate with your existing therapist or help connect you with a trusted provider in the community—because coordinated care leads to better outcomes.
Genesight Testing
I understand how frustrating it can be to start a psychiatric medication hoping for relief—only to face unwanted side effects or no improvement at all. This trial-and-error process can be discouraging and delay meaningful progress.
To help break that cycle, I offer GeneSight® testing—a pharmacogenetic test that analyzes how your body may process certain psychiatric medications based on your unique genetic profile.
While it’s not a standalone solution, GeneSight can serve as an additional tool to guide medication choices, especially in cases where treatment response has been unpredictable. When appropriate, we can use this testing to help tailor your treatment plan more effectively.
