Mental health care that starts with listening.
Emotional health can affect sleep, relationships, work, physical health, substance use, and daily functioning. Icare works to understand the full picture and build an individualized outpatient plan.
Start with a service or with the symptoms you are noticing.
Each service below has its own page describing who it may help and how care is planned. If you are not sure where to begin, call 702-988-3177 and describe what you are noticing — the team can help you find a starting point.

Learn more →Emotional health is health.
Conditions such as depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress are common and treatable. They are health concerns, not personal failings, and they often affect the body as much as the mind. Because symptoms can overlap with medical conditions, medication effects, sleep problems, and substance use, Icare looks at the whole picture rather than a single symptom in isolation.
Signs it may be time to talk with someone.
There is no level of difficulty you have to reach before asking for help. These are some of the changes that often lead people to schedule a first conversation.
- 01
Worry, sadness, or irritability that lasts for weeks or keeps returning
- 02
Changes in sleep, appetite, energy, or concentration that affect daily life
- 03
Pulling away from people, work, school, or activities that used to matter
- 04
Using alcohol or other substances to get through the day or to sleep
- 05
Moods, thoughts, or perceptions that feel harder to manage or trust
- 06
Feedback from people close to you that you do not seem like yourself
What to expect at a first mental health visit.
A first visit is a conversation, not a test. You will not be pushed toward a label or a treatment before you are ready.
- 01
Share what brought you in — current symptoms, stressors, and what you hope will change.
- 02
Review your history, including medical conditions, medications, previous treatment, and substance use.
- 03
Talk through safety, sleep, daily functioning, and the support you have at home, work, or school.
- 04
Hear initial impressions and discuss options together, including the option to think things over.
- 05
Agree on next steps, which may include therapy, medication, medical follow-up, or a referral — depending on the evaluation.
A diagnosis does not define a person.
The plan that follows an evaluation may include education, therapy, medication, medical follow-up, laboratory monitoring, recovery services, or a referral to another level of care when outpatient treatment is not the right fit. Plans are revisited over time as symptoms, preferences, and circumstances change.
Questions people often ask.
Do I need a referral to be seen?+
Many people contact Icare directly, and referrals from other providers are also welcome. Call 702-988-3177 to confirm what is needed for your situation.
Will I be prescribed medication at the first visit?+
Not necessarily. Medication is one option among several, and any prescribing decision depends on the evaluation, safety considerations, and your preferences.
Can mental health and substance-use care happen together?+
Yes. When both are present, care may be coordinated within the same outpatient team, depending on clinical appropriateness.
What if I am not sure which service I need?+
You do not need to decide before calling. Describe what you are noticing, and the team can help identify a reasonable starting point.
