Tyler Patten, APRN, PMHNP-BC — board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner, licensed in Nevada
Cash-pay telehealth psychiatry for adults in Sparks — on a schedule that works around warehouse and swing shifts.
The Tahoe Reno Industrial Center and the warehouses along I-80 turned Sparks into a round-the-clock working town. Shift work does not pair well with psychiatric clinics that book weekday afternoons and are already months out.
Sparks also shares Reno’s provider pool without having much of its own, so “local care” usually means driving into Reno and back for twenty minutes of conversation.
I’m Tyler Patten, a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner licensed in Nevada. Video appointments including early, late and weekend slots: $175 for a full hour, $65 for follow-ups.
Flat, published, cash-pay pricing — nothing charged at the time of booking.
| Visit | Price |
|---|---|
| New patient evaluation — 60 minutes with Tyler | $175 |
| Follow-up visit — 20 minutes | $65 |
| Typical Sparks-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.
Pick a time that works. No referral, no waitlist, no phone tag — most new patients are seen within a week.
A full 60 minutes with Tyler, from anywhere in Sparks with a private space and a connection. Click a link; nothing to install.
Prescriptions go electronically to your Sparks pharmacy the same day. Follow-ups are $65 and always with the same provider.
Rotating schedules wreck sleep, and wrecked sleep looks a great deal like depression and anxiety. That distinction is worth an hour before anything is prescribed.
I don’t prescribe controlled substances — no stimulants, no benzodiazepines, no exceptions. Stating it plainly saves everyone a wasted appointment.
Where medication is the right call: antidepressants, mood stabilizers, non-stimulant ADHD medication, and non-habit-forming options for sleep and anxiety.
