Telehealth Psychiatry in Wyoming
Wyoming is one of the most underserved states in the country for mental health care. Telehealth changes that. As a board-certified PMHNP licensed in Wyoming, I provide psychiatric evaluations and medication management via secure video - statewide, no commute required.

How a telehealth appointment works
Book through Headway
Schedule directly via Headway, which verifies your insurance and handles payment. You choose the time that works for you.
Connect via secure video
At your appointment time, you join a HIPAA-compliant video call from wherever you are - your home, your car, anywhere private and comfortable.
Receive care
Your appointment proceeds just like an in-person visit. We talk, I evaluate, and we make a plan. Prescriptions go to your pharmacy electronically.

I see patients statewide - from Wyoming's larger cities to its most rural communities.
Casper
Wyoming's second-largest city - serving Natrona County residents with no wait for an in-person appointment.

Northern Wyoming residents no longer need to travel hours for a psychiatric appointment.

Everywhere else
If you're in Wyoming and hold a valid Wyoming address, you can be seen - regardless of how remote.
Your Wyoming telehealth psychiatrist
I'm Nalina Mendez, PMHNP-BC - a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner licensed in Wyoming. I chose to practice via telehealth because I believe that where you live should not determine whether you can access good psychiatric care.
Wyoming has a significant mental health provider shortage, particularly in rural and frontier communities. Driving 3 hours each way for a 30-minute medication management appointment is not a sustainable model of care. Telehealth is.
I see adolescents, adults, and older adults for psychiatric evaluations and ongoing medication management. I treat depression, anxiety, ADHD, PTSD, bipolar disorder, and other mood and psychiatric conditions. My approach is therapy-informed - every appointment is more than a prescription.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is telehealth psychiatry as effective as in-person care?
Yes. A significant body of research shows that telehealth psychiatric care produces outcomes equivalent to in-person care for most conditions including depression, anxiety, PTSD, ADHD, and bipolar disorder. For many patients, the comfort of being at home actually improves engagement.
What technology do I need for a telehealth appointment?
You need a smartphone, tablet, or computer with a camera and microphone, and a reliable internet connection. Appointments are conducted through a secure, HIPAA-compliant video platform - no specialized software download required.
Is telehealth psychiatry covered by insurance in Wyoming?
Yes. Most major insurance plans cover telehealth psychiatric services in Wyoming. I accept Aetna, BlueCross BlueShield, Cigna, and United Healthcare through Headway. Self-pay options are also available.
Can prescriptions be sent via telehealth?
Yes. As a licensed PMHNP in Wyoming, I can prescribe psychiatric medications via telehealth appointments. Prescriptions are sent electronically to your pharmacy of choice. Controlled substances follow applicable telehealth prescribing regulations.
Do you see patients across all of Wyoming?
Yes - as long as you have a valid Wyoming address, I can see you regardless of where in the state you live. This is one of the core reasons I chose telehealth: to reach people in communities that have historically had little to no access to psychiatric care.
What if I lose internet during a session?
If we lose the video connection, we can switch to a phone call to finish the appointment. Technical hiccups happen - we work around them.
