Who We Help in Henderson
Henderson does not run on the same clock as the Strip. The streets are quiet by 10. The schools have backyards full of bikes. Sun City Anthem has retirees who actually moved here on purpose. And the people living in Green Valley, Anthem, Seven Hills, Inspirada, and Cadence have something most Las Vegans do not -- a regular schedule, and high expectations for what life is supposed to feel like.
That is why mental health complaints in Henderson hit different. When the lawn is green and the kids are in good schools and the savings account is finally where it should be -- and you still cannot sleep, cannot focus, cannot enjoy any of it -- that is when people start to wonder if something is actually wrong. It usually is. And it is usually treatable.
We see adults, teenagers, and children across Henderson dealing with ADHD, anxiety, depression, perimenopausal mood shifts, postpartum mood disorders, PTSD, OCD, and insomnia. We also handle geriatric psychiatry -- late-life depression, medication reviews for older adults already on five or six prescriptions, and cognitive concerns that need a real workup, not just a "you are just getting older" shrug.
Our Approach
This is a psychiatry practice. We prescribe and manage medication. We do not do weekly talk therapy, but we will refer you to a Henderson therapist we trust if that is what you need.
Your initial visit runs about 45 minutes. We take a full history, review every medication you have ever tried, and figure out what actually makes sense going forward. If you have already cycled through three or four antidepressants without results, ask about GeneSight -- a cheek-swab test that shows how your body metabolizes psychiatric drugs. It is covered by most insurance and it ends the guesswork.
We also handle Emotional Support Animal letters and full psychiatric evaluations on request.
For Parents in Green Valley, Foothill, and Coronado School Zones
Henderson public schools are among the strongest in Clark County. Coronado, Foothill, and Green Valley High School regularly land on best-in-state lists. That is a blessing -- and it raises the bar. The same kids who are tracking honors classes and travel sports are the most likely to mask ADHD until junior year, when the workload finally cracks the coping strategies that worked through middle school.
If your kid started the school year on the honor roll and is now sleeping until noon on Saturdays and missing assignments, do not assume it is laziness. Do not wait for senior year. We see children as young as 6 and treat ADHD, anxiety, depression, and adolescent mood disorders. First visits for kids run about an hour because we need both the parent and the child in the room.
For the Sun City Anthem Crowd
Retirement does not always feel the way people thought it would. The grandkids visit, but not as often as you hoped. Friends you golfed with last year moved away or stopped calling. The body still works, but it does not work like it did. And nobody really talks about what depression looks like at 72.
We specialize in geriatric psychiatry. That means careful medication selection for older adults -- avoiding drugs that cause falls, confusion, or dangerous interactions with blood pressure and heart medications. It means treating late-life depression, anxiety, grief, and the cognitive shifts that families want investigated before they get worse. We coordinate with you, your primary care doctor, and your family if you want them involved.
For Healthcare Workers
Henderson has more healthcare training capacity per square mile than most U.S. cities. Touro University Nevada trains osteopathic physicians. Roseman University of Health Sciences trains pharmacists, dentists, and nurses. Henderson Hospital, St. Rose Dominican Siena, and St. Rose Dominican Rose de Lima employ thousands of nurses, techs, residents, and attending physicians. The people who hold this valley together medically are often the same ones running on three hours of sleep, two cups of coffee, and a slow-burning depression they keep telling themselves is just burnout.
We see you. Same-week appointments. Confidential. Most major insurance accepted, including Anthem Blue Cross, Aetna, Cigna, UnitedHealthcare, and Nevada Medicaid (SilverSummit, Anthem Medicaid).
Getting Started
Call (725) 765-3111 or book online. Most new patients are seen within seven days of their first call. Bring photo ID, your insurance card, and your current prescription bottles -- not just a list.
