Nevada ranks last in the country. Las Vegas feels it most.

Mental Health America’s 2025 State of Mental Health in America report ranked Nevada lowest in the nation overall, for the second consecutive year, across seventeen measures that include provider availability. In a valley of more than two million people that isn’t an abstraction — it’s a months-long wait for a first appointment, assuming you find an opening at all.

Las Vegas also runs on a clock most clinics ignore. Hospitality, gaming, healthcare and warehouse work don’t stop at five, and a lot of people here genuinely cannot make a two o’clock appointment across town. Telehealth removes the drive, and a practice run by one provider can put appointments where they actually fit — early, late, or on a weekend.

I’m Tyler Patten, a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner licensed in Nevada. A first visit is a full 60 minutes for $175, follow-ups are $65, and nothing is billed to insurance.

What psychiatric care costs in Las Vegas without insurance

Cash-pay has a reputation for meaning expensive. Without insurance overhead and without an office to keep the lights on, it means the opposite here.

VisitPrice
New patient evaluation — 60 minutes with Tyler$175
Follow-up visit — 20 minutes$65
Typical Las Vegas-area private psychiatrist, first visit, out of pocket$250–$500
Typical follow-up, out of pocket$100–$250

Payment is collected after your appointment, not when you book. A valid card is kept securely on file and charged once the visit is complete. No insurance is billed, so there is no deductible to meet and no surprise bill weeks later.

Medication management, without the controlled substances

Starting, adjusting, combining and reassessing psychiatric medication is the substance of this practice: antidepressants, mood stabilizers, non-stimulant ADHD medications, and options for anxiety and sleep that don’t create a dependency.

I do not prescribe controlled substances — no stimulants, no benzodiazepines, no exceptions. Stating that plainly saves everyone a wasted appointment.

And I take reassessment seriously. If shift work has wrecked your sleep and the answer so far has been another prescription, the more useful conversation is usually about what’s driving it — and about what could come off rather than what could be added.

Psychiatry in Las Vegas — common questions

I work nights. Can I get an appointment that fits?
That’s a large part of why this practice is telehealth-only. Early morning, evening and weekend slots are available, and you’re joining from home rather than driving across the valley.
Do you see people in Henderson, North Las Vegas and Summerlin?
Yes — anywhere in Nevada. Henderson, North Las Vegas, Summerlin, Enterprise, Spring Valley and the rest of the valley are all the same appointment, as are Reno, Sparks, Carson City and the rural parts of the state.
How much is it without insurance?
$175 for the first 60-minute visit and $65 for each 20-minute follow-up. Payment is collected after the appointment, not when you book, and a card is kept securely on file.
Can you prescribe Adderall, Xanax or similar?
No. I don’t prescribe controlled substances at all. ADHD is treated with non-stimulant medication, which works differently — steadier coverage through the day, no rebound in the evening, and no pharmacy shortages to manage.
How fast can I be seen?
Most new patients are seen within a week. There’s no referral and no waitlist.
How much does a psychiatrist cost in Las Vegas without insurance?
At a private practice in the Las Vegas area, a first psychiatric evaluation paid out of pocket commonly runs $250 to $500, and follow-ups $100 to $250. At Affordable Psych it is a flat $175 for the 60-minute first visit and $65 for each 20-minute follow-up, with no insurance billed and nothing charged at the time of booking.
