Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about mental health care in primary care
How is mental health care different in primary care than with a psychiatrist?
Primary care mental health focuses on common conditions and integrates with your overall health care. We provide initial assessment, medication management, and ongoing support. For complex cases or specialized therapy, we coordinate referrals to mental health specialists.
Is mental health information kept confidential?
Yes, mental health information is protected by strict confidentiality laws. We only share information with your consent or when required by law for safety reasons. Your mental health care is integrated with your medical record but access is limited to your care team.
Can you prescribe mental health medications?
Yes, our primary care providers are qualified to prescribe and manage most mental health medications, including antidepressants, anti-anxiety medications, and ADHD medications. We monitor your response and adjust treatments as needed.
How do I know if I need mental health care?
Consider mental health care if you experience persistent sadness, anxiety, difficulty sleeping, changes in appetite, trouble concentrating, or if stress is affecting your daily life. We can help assess your symptoms and recommend appropriate care.
Do you provide therapy or counseling?
We provide brief counseling and supportive therapy as part of primary care. For ongoing therapy or specialized counseling needs, we can refer you to qualified therapists and counselors in the Las Vegas area.
What should I do in a mental health crisis?
For immediate mental health crises, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room. You can also call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 988. During business hours, you can contact our office for urgent mental health concerns.
