Hello, I’m Charloth V. Bledsoe, DNP, PMHNP-BC, a Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner dedicated to providing compassionate, evidence-based mental health care. I earned my Doctor of Nursing Practice from the University of Nevada, Reno, and have experience providing psychiatric care to children, adolescents, adults, and older adults.

My practice focuses on comprehensive psychiatric evaluations, medication management, psychotherapy, and treatment for conditions including anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, psychotic disorders, and substance use disorders. I also have experience providing Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) and caring for individuals with complex mental health needs.

I believe mental health care should be individualized, collaborative, and free of judgment. My goal is to create a safe environment where clients feel heard, respected, and actively involved in their treatment. I work with each person to develop a treatment plan that fits their unique needs, goals, and circumstances.

Whether you are seeking support for a new concern or looking for ongoing psychiatric care, I am committed to helping you work toward greater stability, wellness, and quality of life.

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

I'm a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner with over 40 years of healthcare experience. Born and raised in the Philippines, I immigrated to the United States at 19 and settled in California before moving to Nevada in 2017. My career has spanned medical-surgical units, the medical ICU, staff nursing, leadership and management roles, and teaching nursing students as a professor for both beginning nurses and advanced practice nursing candidates. I hold a BSN and MSN from the University of Phoenix, a Master of Advanced Studies in Healthcare Organization Leadership from UC San Diego, and a Doctor of Nursing Practice from Azusa Pacific University. I trained as a Family Nurse Practitioner and then as a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner through National University, and I've been practicing as a psychiatric NP since 2020, caring for patients ages 17 to 99 in community clinics and skilled nursing facilities. I'm licensed in both Nevada and California, and I bring a personable, collaborative approach to every patient relationship.

Find the right psychiatrist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Carson City

Finding psychiatrists in Carson City starts with knowing which type of mental health care fits your needs. Psychiatrists and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners can diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe medication, and manage medication over time. Therapists, counselors, and social workers provide talk therapy. If you are looking for support with anxiety, depression, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, bipolar disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, or medication management, a psychiatrist may be part of your care plan. Look for listed specialties, credentials, and bio details that match what you want to address.

In a smaller city like Carson City, local psychiatry appointments may be more limited than in larger Nevada markets. Virtual psychiatry can expand your options while still letting you search for someone licensed in your state. Medication management visits are often shorter and less frequent than therapy sessions, though some psychiatrists also offer therapy. Some people see both a therapist and a prescriber, depending on their needs. As you compare profiles, review appointment availability, whether the psychiatrist is accepting new patients, and how they describe their approach to care.

Psychiatric care in Carson City can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before an appointment. Headway helps you search psychiatrists who are accepting new patients, enter your insurance details, and see an estimated session cost before booking. You can compare bios, choose between virtual and in-person options when available, and book directly when you are ready.

If you're already taking psychiatric medication and considering switching providers, talk to your current prescriber before changing or stopping any medication — most psychiatric medications shouldn't be stopped abruptly. Anyone experiencing thoughts of self-harm or in acute crisis should call 988 or go to the nearest emergency department rather than wait for an outpatient appointment.
