Changing Minds Psychiatry

Changing Minds Psychiatry is a mental health clinic with offices around the valley, including Summerlin, North Las Vegas and Henderson, plus telemedicine visits. It sees children starting at 8 years of age, as well as adults.

Services include psychiatric evaluations, psychological assessments, ADHD testing, talk therapy and medication management, which is handled by psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners. Therapy can be one on one, with the family, or in a group. Most people start with one session a week, and the standard appointment is 60 minutes.

Getting started takes some homework. Schedule by calling (702) 405 - 8088 and choosing Option 2, and you will get an invite to the patient portal. The new patient forms there take about 30 minutes, and they need to be done before the visit, since unfinished paperwork can get an appointment cancelled. The clinic keeps a credit card on file and charges it only for missed or late-cancelled visits. Cancel inside 24 hours and it counts as a no-show: $150 for a new patient's medication visit, $50 for an established patient, and $55 for therapy.

Plans accepted include NV Medicaid, Medicare, Tricare West and Aetna, and self-pay families can ask for a fee estimate. Parking is free out front. If you want an evaluation done before second semester, call well before CCSD winter break.
