Leucovorin Treatment in Las Vegas
Leucovorin Consultation for Autism Support
At MindWell Psychiatric Services, we offer consultations for families exploring leucovorin supplementation as part of autism support. We provide professional guidance, review current research, and discuss whether leucovorin may fit into your child’s comprehensive care plan.
What Is Leucovorin?
Leucovorin is a form of folate (also called folinic acid) that some research suggests may support brain function in certain individuals with autism. Unlike standard folic acid supplements, leucovorin is already in its active form—meaning the body can use it more readily.
Some children with autism have been found to have folate receptor autoantibodies, which may interfere with folate transport to the brain. For these children, leucovorin supplementation has shown promise in early research studies.
Important: Leucovorin is not a cure for autism. We provide honest, evidence-based information so you can make informed decisions for your family.

How Our Consultations Work
When you schedule a leucovorin consultation, we will:
- Review your child’s medical history and current treatments

- Provide guidance on next steps if you choose to proceed
We give you the information you need—without pressure or false promises.

A leucovorin consultation may be helpful if:
- Your child has been diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder
- You’re exploring additional support options beyond standard therapies
- Your child has had folate-related testing or you’re considering it
- You want to understand the current research before making decisions
- A physician has mentioned leucovorin and you want a second opinion

Frequently Asked Questions
Is leucovorin FDA-approved for autism?
No. Leucovorin is FDA-approved for other conditions but is used off-label for autism support. Research is ongoing, and results have been mixed. We’ll review the current evidence with you.
Is leucovorin available over the counter (OTC)?
No, leucovorin is a prescription medication. Unlike standard folic acid supplements you can buy at a pharmacy, leucovorin requires a prescription from a licensed healthcare provider. Over-the-counter folate supplements are not a substitute for leucovorin and cannot cross the blood-brain barrier the same way. If you’re interested in leucovorin for your child, schedule a consultation, and we can discuss whether it’s appropriate and coordinate a prescription if needed.
Do you prescribe leucovorin?
We provide consultations and guidance. If supplementation is appropriate, we can discuss options with you and coordinate with your child’s other providers.
Does my child need testing before starting leucovorin?
Testing for folate receptor autoantibodies is available but not required. We’ll discuss whether testing makes sense for your child’s situation.
Can I do the consultation via telehealth?
Yes. Both initial and follow-up consultations are available via secure video call.
Why is this self-pay only?
Insurance typically does not cover consultations for emerging or off-label treatments. Our flat-rate pricing keeps costs transparent and predictable.
