“I can’t say enough great things about Mind Matters Integrative Psychiatry. From my very first appointment, I felt heard, respected, and truly cared for. Nurse Practitioner Iyeshia Hood takes the time to understand your concerns on a deeper level, not just from a clinical perspective, but from a whole person point of view.
She helped me feel confident about my treatment plan and always explained everything clearly, without rushing. I’ve seen a real difference in my mental health since starting here? my anxiety is finally manageable, and I feel like I have someone in my corner who actually cares.
If you’re looking for thoughtful, culturally aware, and compassionate psychiatric care, this is the place!”

Getting to know Iyeshia Hood
Iyeshia Hood is a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner dedicated to providing compassionate, client-centered care. She believes in a collaborative approach, ensuring that every patient feels heard, valued, and actively involved in their treatment plan. With a strong background in acute care and crisis intervention, Iyeshia brings over seven years of experience working in emergency departments across the country, where she helped patients navigate complex mental health challenges.
Her passion for mental health began early in her career as a home health aide, supporting children and adolescents with behavioral and autism-related challenges. This experience sparked her deep interest in ADHD, autism, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia, shaping her commitment to delivering personalized, evidence-based care.
Originally from Sandusky, Ohio, Iyeshia now calls Houston home. Outside of her practice, she enjoys spending time with her dog Knox, SolidCore, strength training, exploring new restaurants, and traveling the world with her friends.

Out-of-pocket fees and assistance
Initial session: $275 for 60 minutes
Ongoing session: $125-175 for 30 minutes
- Sliding scale: Offers lower out-of-pocket fees on an individual basis, typically based on your ability to pay
- Files your insurance claim: You pay the session fee upfront and the provider files the claim for you, so you can get reimbursed directly without worrying about the paperwork
- Charges post-reimbursement amount: This provider will only charge you for the amount you pay after you get reimbursed from your insurance plan, so you don’t need to pay the session fee upfront
More information on payments and coverage
I am credentialed with several insurance providers and able to accept in-network patients. If you’d like, I can verify your benefits before your appointment to give you an idea of what your out-of-pocket cost may be.
If I’m not in-network with your specific plan, I can still provide you with a superbill to submit for possible reimbursement.
Payment Process
Copays, coinsurance, and deductibles (if applicable) are due at the time of service.
For self-pay patients, the rates are:
Initial Evaluation: $300
Follow-Up Appointments: $125-175
Payments can be made via credit/debit card or Zelle( if you prefer).
Financial Assistance
If you’re experiencing financial hardship, I’m open to discussing:
Payment plans
Sliding scale options
Adjusted appointment frequency (when clinically appropriate)
I want to ensure you receive the care you need in a way that’s manageable and supportive.
Please let me know if you have any questions about your insurance coverage or payment options—I’m here to help!

Very relatable! Conversation was easy and i felt safe speaking on and navigating my feelings and decision processing. As already being an overthinker at baseline, it was easy to hear a different prospective on things and figure out what works best for me moving forward.

Super friendly and listened well! Prioritized my feelings and opinions on different treatment pathways rather than just assigning me something, which is a breath of fresh air!
