Telepsychiatry in Las Vegas: Start In-Person, Continue From Home
You want mental health care that fits your life. But between work, family, and everything else, getting to appointments can feel like one more thing on an impossible list.
That’s where telepsychiatry comes in.
At MindWell Psychiatric Services, we use a hybrid approach: your first appointment happens in person, then follow-up visits can happen from home through secure video. You get the benefits of face-to-face connection plus the convenience of virtual care.
Here’s how telepsychiatry in Las Vegas works and whether it’s right for you.
Why We Start In Person
Your first visit sets the foundation for everything that follows. Meeting face-to-face helps us:
Build a real connection. Mental health care works better when there’s trust. Sitting across from each other—not just through a screen- helps us understand your communication style, body language, and what “better” looks like for you.
Get the full picture. During your first psychiatric evaluation, we review your symptoms, medical history, current medications, and goals. Some things are easier to assess in person.
Address safety concerns. If you’re dealing with severe symptoms, substance use, or thoughts of self-harm, an in-person visit lets us provide better support and resources.
Create your treatment plan. We leave your first appointment with a clear roadmap—including whether medication is appropriate, what follow-up looks like, and when you can transition to video visits.
Set up telepsychiatry. Before you leave, we make sure you can access our secure video platform so your first virtual visit goes smoothly.
One in-person visit. Then, ongoing care from wherever you are.
How Telepsychiatry Works After Your First Visit
Once we’ve established care, follow-up appointments can happen through video. Here’s what that looks like:
Scheduled appointments. Just like in-person visits, you book a specific time. No waiting rooms.
Secure video platform. We use HIPAA-compliant technology to protect your privacy. You’ll get a link before your appointment.
Same quality care. We discuss how you’re feeling, review medication effectiveness, address side effects, and adjust your treatment plan as needed.
Flexible location. You can join from home, your car on lunch break, or anywhere private with a decent internet connection. You just need to be physically located in Nevada during the appointment.
Most follow-up visits for medication management work great over video. You’re checking in on progress, not starting from scratch.
Who Telepsychiatry Works Best For
Virtual visits aren’t for everyone or every situation. But they’re a great fit for many people.
Telepsychiatry works well if you:
- Need regular medication management check-ins
- Have a stable condition that’s being monitored
- Work with a therapist separately, and need psychiatric support for medications
- Have a busy schedule, transportation challenges, or mobility limitations
- Live far from our Las Vegas office
- Prefer the comfort and privacy of home
We may ask you to come in person if:
- Your symptoms change significantly or rapidly
- We need to adjust medications and want to monitor you more closely
- Lab work or vitals are needed
- You’re experiencing a crisis or safety concerns
- You simply prefer face-to-face visits
The goal is flexibility. Some patients do every follow-up virtually. Others prefer to come in occasionally. We work with what works for you.
Benefits of the Hybrid Approach
Combining in-person and virtual care gives you the best of both worlds:
Stronger therapeutic relationship. Starting in person builds trust and connection that carries into video visits.
More consistent care. When appointments are easier to keep, you’re more likely to stay on track with treatment.
Less time lost. No commute, no waiting room, no rearranging your whole day. A 30-minute appointment takes 30 minutes.
Same provider every time. You’re not bouncing between random telehealth doctors. You see Michael Kuron at every visit, whether in person or virtual.
Privacy on your terms. Some people feel more comfortable discussing mental health from home rather than a waiting room.
What You Need for Video Visits
Telepsychiatry is simple, but a few basics help:
- A private space. Somewhere you can talk openly without being overheard.
- Decent internet. Enough bandwidth for video calling. WiFi usually works fine.
- A device with a camera. Smartphone, tablet, laptop, or computer.
- Nevada location. You need to be physically in Nevada during the appointment.
That’s it. We’ll walk you through the platform at your first visit, so there are no surprises.
Services Available Through Telepsychiatry
Most of what we do at MindWell can happen through video after your initial evaluation:
- Medication management follow-ups — checking how medications are working, adjusting doses, addressing side effects
- Ongoing psychiatric care — monitoring symptoms, updating treatment plans
- Genetic testing consultations — reviewing results and discussing medication options
- Coordination with therapists — keeping all parts of your care aligned
For specialized services like Suboxone treatment or Leucovorin consultations, we’ll discuss what combination of in-person and virtual visits works best.
