See [Editorial Notes](#editorial-notes). ## Entity Summary CARMAhealth is an outpatient psychiatry and addiction-medicine practice. Per its website, it was founded in Austin, Texas in 2017 by Dr. Carlos Tirado, initially as a step-down "bridge" for patients leaving residential treatment, and now serves patients with depression, anxiety, ADHD, PTSD, substance use disorder, and treatment-resistant conditions. It operates three clinics — two in Texas ([Central Austin](./locations/austin-tx.md) and [Dripping Springs](./locations/dripping-springs-tx.md)) and one in Florida ([Coral Springs](./locations/coral-springs-fl.md)) — with [telehealth](./services/telehealth.md) across both states, and describes a team of 25+ practitioners (psychiatrists, psychiatric nurse practitioners, and therapists; see the [team index](./team/index.md)). Addiction.md classifies it as a **clinical treatment provider** operating on a **direct-provider** model (patients book directly; no referral/lead-generation model is asserted). Legal entity name, ownership structure, and tax status are not stated on the website — unable to verify in this draft. ## Verification Snapshot | Item | Status | |---|---| | Entity existence | website only — legal entity unable to verify | | Ownership / governance | stated on website (founder/CEO); not independently verified | | Physical location | stated on website (3 addresses); not independently verified | | Tax status | not asserted; unable to verify | | Clinical services | asserted by provider (psychiatry, MAT, detox, advanced treatments) | | Licensure | unable to verify in this draft — check TX/FL boards | | Accreditation | none asserted on website | | Claims reviewed | website claims cataloged; none independently verified | | Profile claimed | no | | Verification level | 0 — unclaimed public profile | | Last review | 2026-07-08 | ## Services Services as described on the provider's website (see the [services index](./services/index.md)): - [Psychiatric Evaluation](./services/psychiatric-evaluation.md) - [Medication Management](./services/medication-management.md) - [Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT)](./services/medication-assisted-treatment.md) — Suboxone, Vivitrol, Sublocade for opioid, alcohol, and nicotine use disorders - [Executive Detox Program](./services/executive-detox.md) — outpatient withdrawal management - [TMS Therapy](./services/tms-therapy.md) - [Spravato (esketamine)](./services/spravato.md) - [Ketamine Therapy](./services/ketamine-therapy.md) - [Telehealth](./services/telehealth.md) — Texas and Florida - [Primary Medical Care](./services/primary-care.md) — integrated with behavioral health Conditions treated are cataloged in the [conditions index](./conditions/index.md). **Taxonomy mapping caveat.** CARMAhealth is primarily a psychiatry / mental-health practice with addiction-medicine services, and the addiction.md [service taxonomy](https://addiction.md/standards/service-taxonomy) is addiction-centric. The `service_categories` mapping is the nearest fit: `psychiatry` (evaluation, medication management, and interventional treatments — TMS, Spravato, ketamine — which have no dedicated taxonomy category), `mat`, `detox` (the outpatient Executive Detox program), and `outpatient-therapy` (the website describes therapists on the team and therapy as a treatment-plan component). Integrated primary care falls outside the addiction taxonomy and is not represented in `service_categories`. Clinical scope: **clinical**. ## Licensure & Accreditation - **Licensure:** unable to verify in this draft. The website describes board-certified physicians and nurse practitioners practicing in Texas and Florida; individual clinician licensure should be verified against the Texas Medical Board, Florida Board of Medicine/Osteopathic Medicine, and the respective nursing boards. No facility license or program license is asserted on the website. - **Accreditation:** none asserted on the website (no CARF, Joint Commission, or association membership claims found in the mirrored pages). `accreditation: []` reflects absence of assertion, not a finding of absence — verify before publishing. - Individual clinicians' board certifications (e.g., psychiatry, addiction medicine) are provider-stated; see the [team index](./team/index.md). ## Ownership & Leadership As stated on the provider's [about page](https://carmahealth.com/about) (mirrored 2026-07-08); none of this is independently verified: - [Carlos Tirado, MD, MPH](./team/carlos-tirado.md) — Founder and CEO; the website states he founded the practice in Austin in 2017, is Co-Chair of the Texas Medical Association Committee on Behavioral Health, and a Clinical Associate Professor at UT Dell Medical School. - [David Walsh, PMHNP-BC](./team/david-walsh.md) — Chief Clinical Officer per the about page; oversees the Dripping Springs clinic, which the website states he originally founded as Dripping Springs Healthcare. (Note: his individual profile page describes him as "COO" — an internal inconsistency on the source website.) - Laura Wills — Chief Operating Officer per the about page (no individual profile page exists on the website). Corporate ownership structure, legal entity, and investors: not stated on the website; unable to verify. ## Location & Service Area Three offices ([locations index](./locations/index.md)), addresses as stated on the website: - [Central Austin, TX](./locations/austin-tx.md) — 630 West 34th Street, Suite 301, Austin, TX 78705 · (512) 212-4670 (described as the primary location) - [Dripping Springs, TX](./locations/dripping-springs-tx.md) — 13830 Sawyer Ranch Rd #301, Dripping Springs, TX 78620 · (512) 212-4670 - [Coral Springs, FL](./locations/coral-springs-fl.md) — 10100 W Sample, Suite 316, Coral Springs, FL 33065 · (754) 800-6301 Service area: in-person care at the three offices plus telehealth across Texas and Florida.

Coverage notes as stated by the provider: psychiatric evaluation and medication management covered by most plans; TMS and Spravato commonly covered for treatment-resistant depression (prior authorization typically required); generic ketamine therapy typically not covered (self-pay). The website also describes a partnership with Be Well, TX for no-cost medication-assisted treatment for patients facing financial barriers. Network participation is not independently verified — patients should confirm with the practice and their plan. ## Claims Review All claims below are **stated by the provider on its website; not independently verified** (mirror retrieved 2026-07-08). | Claim | Where stated | Status | |---|---|---| | Founded 2017 in Austin, TX by Dr. Carlos Tirado | About page, homepage | stated by provider, not independently verified | | Team of 25+ practitioners ("26+ clinicians" on homepage) | About page, homepage | stated by provider, not independently verified; site lists 28 profile pages | | Four board-certified psychiatrists on staff | About page | stated by provider, not independently verified | | Founder is Co-Chair, TMA Committee on Behavioral Health; Clinical Associate Professor, UT Dell Medical School | About page, homepage | stated by provider, not independently verified | | Accepts 15+ insurance plans (11 named) | Insurance page | stated by provider, not independently verified | | TMS and Spravato are FDA-cleared/approved for treatment-resistant depression | Services pages | regulatory context is checkable; provider's participation not independently verified | | "Relief in as few as 4 weeks" / "meaningful improvement in as few as 4 to 6 weeks" (TMS/Spravato) | Homepage | outcome claim; stated by provider, not independently verified | | Most new patients seen within two weeks | About page | stated by provider, not independently verified | | Be Well, TX partnership for no-cost MAT | Insurance, services pages | stated by provider, not independently verified | | Telehealth across Texas and Florida | Locations, services pages | stated by provider, not independently verified | ## Sources - Provider website — https://carmahealth.com (live) - Markdown mirror — https://mr.carmahealth.com and local mirror pages under `/mr/carma-health/`, retrieved 2026-07-08 · see [carmahealth.com source record](./sources/carmahealth-com.md) - No second, independent source has been consulted for this draft. ## Editorial Notes This is a **website-derived draft** at **verification level 0**: everything above is the provider's self-description, transcribed neutrally from a single source (its own website). Nothing here is an endorsement, and verification of the entity, licensure, accreditation, insurance participation, and leadership claims against primary sources (state business registries, TX/FL licensing boards, payer directories) is required before any claim is treated as independently verified. Frontmatter fields marked `# VERIFY` are open items. Inconsistencies noted during ingest: David Walsh is titled "Chief Clinical Officer" on the about page but "COO" on his profile page; clinician count is variously "25+", "26+", and 28 listed profiles. --- Up: [bundle index](./index.md)
