After eight years of working as a psychiatrist in New York City, Dr. Omotayo Onanuga knew he could reach more patients if he worked in private practice.

In order to reach his goal of providing individualized management to patients with various mental health issues, Dr. Onanuga opened New Age Behavioral Health in 2014. Currently located at 833 E. Northwest Highway, Ste. 400, in Grapevine, the practice treats a variety of mental health issues both in person and through online sessions.

Dr. Onanuga believes everybody deserves a healthy state of mind to be self-productive and contribute meaningfully to society. However, many factors often stand in the way and affect the ability to achieve these goals and objectives.

At New Age Behavioral Health, the practice strives to ensure that everyone with mental health challenges achieve their optimal potential in life. The business helps patients improve their mental well-being; reduce their stress level; improve their interpersonal relationships; and become more productive in life.

What makes the clinic unique is the approach to how mental health issues are treated,

“In our practice, we individualize patient evaluation and care,” Dr Onanuga said. “Each of the providers, including myself, listens to each patient’s concerns and ensures that the patient receives optimal treatment including medication management while recognizing that one-cap does not fit all in mental health treatment.”

The use of FDA approved medication for treatment resistant depression is also available.

Mental health issues treated include:
  • Anxiety disorders, including panic disorder and generalized anxiety disorder
  • Mood disorders, including depression and bipolar disorder
  • ADHD and ADD
  • Phobias
  • Child and adolescent issues
  • Substance abuse issues, including dual diagnoses
Through his extensive training as a clinician in both inpatient and outpatient practice, Dr. Onanuga believes mental health problems often coexist with other underlying medical conditions or substance abuse issues.

“If we think a patient needs more than what we have to offer, we make the call and ensure that they get the appropriate treatment needed: inpatient services, counseling, therapy or following up with the primary care physician for a path to recovery and eventual resolution,” Dr. Onanuga said. “We don't pretend as if everything must be in-house.”

The practice accepts private health insurance including BCBS, United Health Care, Scott &White, Aetna, Cigna and others, as well as government health insurance like Medicare and Tricare. They also accept major credit cards for self-paying patients.
