Why We Start In Person
Starting face-to-face sets you up for better care and smoother video visits later.
- Stronger connection, better conversation. Meeting in person helps us learn your communication style, build trust, and understand what “better” looks like for you.
- A fuller first look. In the office we can review meds, vitals (when needed), past records, and complete standardized screenings without rushing.
- Safety first. If you’re struggling with sleep deprivation, substance use, severe anxiety, or thoughts of harm, an in-person setting lets us assess risk and support you more effectively.
- A personalized plan. We leave the first visit with a clear roadmap: medication options (if appropriate), therapy recommendations, lab work when useful, and a follow-up timeline that fits real life.
- Telepsychiatry setup. Before you go, we can discuss how telepsychiatry care works. We confirm your preferred device, verify that you can access our secure video platform, and share tips so your first online visit feels easy.
Bottom line: one in-office visit gives us a complete picture—then you get the ongoing convenience of care from home. Learn more about Las Vegas Suboxone Treatment, Leucovorin Consultations, Psychiatric Medications & Management, and more Las Vegas Psychiatric Services.
Who Telepsychiatry Is Right For (After the First Visit)
Find out how telepsychiatry care works best by supporting stability, consistency, and access.
Great candidates
- Medication management follow-ups. Checking symptom progress, side effects, and small dose adjustments.
- Therapy + meds coordination. If you’re already in counseling, video check-ins help keep all parts of your plan aligned.
- Busy schedules & caregivers. Parents, professionals, and those with transportation or mobility challenges often find video visits reduce missed appointments.
- Maintenance care. When symptoms are improving or stable, telepsychiatry keeps momentum without extra travel.
When we may ask for an in-person visit again
- New or rapidly changing symptoms (e.g., severe mood swings, panic attacks, unusual thoughts).
- Significant medication changes or side effects that need closer monitoring or vitals.
- Labs or procedures that inform treatment decisions.
- Safety concerns or if you prefer to be seen in person for any reason.
During telepsychiatry appointments, you’ll need to be physically located in the state where your clinician is licensed (Nevada). We’ll confirm your location at the start of each video visit.
