Mindfulness-Based (MBCT) Therapists in Texas

Hi, I’m Ranie Meyer, a dual-certified Nurse Practitioner with a passion for compassionate and high-quality care. With extensive experience in both psychiatric and family health, I bring a holistic approach to mental wellness. With a foundational education from the University of Texas at Tyler and specialized training in integrative psychiatry from the Dream Practice Academy, my approach combines over 14 years of healthcare experience across diverse settings—from emergency rooms to intensive care units to small practices. My personal journey into mental health was not a straightforward path. The early loss of my father, a significant car accident, and navigating life changes have all deeply influenced my empathy and understanding. These experiences fostered my intuitive connection with patients facing their own struggles, guiding me into a career that blends scientific rigor with heartfelt care. Colleagues and patients alike describe me as intuitive, wise, and energetically compassionate. This reflects in my practice where I prioritize a holistic, patient-centered approach, embracing the unique challenges and strengths of each individual. My work is not just about managing symptoms but fostering a partnership that enhances your overall well-being. Outside the clinic, I enjoy sharing my knowledge and supporting my community in Texas. Together, we can achieve better mental health and well-being. *Specialties •Mental Health •Family Medicine •Holistic Medicine •Psychiatry *Conditions treated •Depression •Anxiety •Bipolar disorders •ADHD •Panic attacks •Insomnia •Mood disorders •Trauma •Behavioral Issues •Dual Diagnosis •Emotional Disturbance •Medication Management •Obsessive-Compulsive (OCD) •Stress •Trauma and PTSD •Weight Loss •Women's Issues *Treatment philosophy I provide specialized care for individuals—from children and teens to adults—struggling with issues like anxiety, depression, attention/focus challenges, and trauma.

Hi. I’m an Osteopathic Physician and Integrative Psychiatrist with over a decade of experience helping professionals, first responders, athletes and other goal-driven individuals achieve momentum, clarity and balance in the face of depression, anxiety and ADHD. By tapping into the mind-body-brain nexus, I help you forge a stronger and more resilient tool to face your challenges. I offer a blend of Integrative Psychiatry, Osteopathic approaches (OMM= hands-on therapy), and Mindfulness-based approaches to help you reach the next level. Visit my website at https://www.kiwihealth.com/provider/TX/North-Richland-Hills/Brian-Mendenhall for more details (and to schedule an appointment if you are direct pay/ non-insurance/ cash). If you have Aetna or Blue Cross Blue Shield of Texas, use the links below for Headway to schedule the initial consult call. I believe: You are more than a label or list of symptoms—you’re a person with goals and ambitions. The mind, body, and spirit are inseparable. Medication has its place, but the automatic “problem = pill” approach so prevalent in psychiatry often misses the mark. Human capacity for change is extraordinary. When we harness that, the possibilities are endless. My journey in Medicine began with a Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine degree from A.T. Still University, and I further honed my skills through specialized training in adult psychiatry at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. I have additional training in Integrative Psychiatry and Nutritional Psychiatry, in addition to a broad range of extensive experience treating adults in various clinical settings. Outside of work, I enjoy Muay Thai, hiking and hanging out with my pet boxer, and learning about history and Stoic philosophy. I've been practicing Zen style meditation for approximately two decades. I'm here to help you unlock your potential and reach the next level. Contact me for a free fifteen minute consultation call.

I view each individual as an inseparable unit of mind, body, and spirit, and I tailor treatment to foster balance, clarity, focus and adaptability. Rather than a “one-size-fits-all” or “problem = pill” model, I provide tools and frameworks that guide a sustainable process of change, in addition to using a common-sense approach to medication management.
