Who We See in Lake Jackson
The Brazosport area runs on the chemical plants and port around Freeport, and many of our Lake Jackson patients work rotating 12-hour shifts, turnarounds or on-call schedules. Shift work wrecks sleep, and poor sleep feeds anxiety and depression. Short video follow-ups let people stay on top of treatment without trading a day off for a drive up Highway 288.
We also see Brazosport College students, teachers, nurses and families across the county, from Angleton to Sweeny and West Columbia. Hurricane seasons and the stress that comes with them are a regular part of life here, and many people tell us they put off care because the nearest psychiatrist had a months-long wait.
