Your Mental Health Team – An Austin Psychiatrist Committed to Teamwork

Here at Pondworks, outpatient psychiatry works because our team of providers. This is becasue we ALL work together as a team. Our founder, Bernard Kim, MD heads the clinic and demonstrates his commitment to the highest level of outpatient care available. Thats because when you look for a psychiatrist in Austin you are looking for the highest level of training. That high level of education can be found to take care of your mental health. Most importantly you want to find your mental health team and an Austin psychiatrist committed to teamwork. Unfortunately, the number of people looking for appointments with psychiatrists exceeds the number available to care for you.  Long wait times for initial appointments become the “new normal”. Therefore, this puts a lot of pressure on making a relationship with the psychiatrist work even when it may not be the greatest match.

A Strong Mental Health Team Starts With Teamwork!

Teamwork Prevents Shorter Appointments and Abandoning Psychotherapy.

Worse yet, the need for appointments has pushed psychiatrists to shorten appointments. In some cases completely abandoning performing psychotherapy. Your mental health team and your Austin psychiatrist should be committed to quality care. Dr. Kim fears that the current state of demand may have diluted the quality of care. This dilution falls to an unacceptable level that leaves many patients unsatisfied with their care.  In an effort to give access to care to many we may be creating a standard of care. This current standard we’re not happy with.

Dr. Kim is an experienced and knowledgable Austin psychiatrist committed to expanding access to care. Dr. Kim has created a team approach to balance. It combines a psychiatrist’s expansive training and experience base with longer appointment times and shorter wait times for new evaluations.

We’re Committed To Training Our Mental Health Team to Understand the Healing Power of Talking. 

This truly is a team where Dr. Kim is in the office devoting time each day to training. Dr. Kim and his team help new nurse practitioners in how to not just write prescriptions but understand the healing power of talking. When you look up Austin Psychiatrist on Google and schedule an appointment at Pondworks you are getting a unique treatment. For example,  Dr. Kim schedules standing weekly full therapy slots for supervision for each of his providers. This helps to meet and talk about care at a deeper level.

The time in supervision helps the Pondworks provider improve a particular person’s treatment plan. Because of this, it reflects clearly that we are saying “lives matter beyond symptoms”.  It is a large commitment of time and energy Dr. Kim is proud to uniquely offer in Austin. The results that Dr. Kim and his team prove this.
