Our Practice

Sugar Land Psychological Associates, founded in 2022 by Dr. Derek Ream, is a group private practice based in Sugar Land, Texas. Dr. Ream recognized a troubling trend in the mental health landscape: community members faced long waits to see providers, struggled to reach a live person when contacting practices, and often reported poor experiences with their current or past clinicians. Additionally, a significant portion of mental health providers—nearly 60%—did not accept insurance, further limiting access to care.

In response, Dr. Ream established a practice centered on delivering exceptional patient experiences. At Sugar Land Psychological Associates, every call is answered live—no automated systems or call centers promising callbacks. We schedule most appointments within the same week, not months down the line. Our psychologists and therapists are experts in their fields, providing unparalleled care. We offer flexible appointment times, including evenings and weekends, and services delivered in English, Spanish, or Mandarin Chinese. We also accept most major commercial insurance plans.

To ensure accessibility and responsiveness, we reply to all online inquiries and emails in under 5 minutes. By prioritizing these values, we aim to remove barriers to mental healthcare and provide the compassionate, expert support our community deserves.
