We understand that seeking mental health support is a significant decision, and our compassionate team is dedicated to making your journey as smooth and accessible as possible.

Your Seamless Path to Care at MWI Health
At MWI Health, we’ve streamlined the process for becoming a patient to ensure you can access the care you need quickly and efficiently.
1. Reach Out to Our Team
Getting started is simple. You can connect with MWI Health in Sioux Falls or West Des Moines by calling our office or filling out our secure online contact form. Our friendly administrative staff will guide you through the initial steps and answer any questions you may have about our services, providers, and how we can best support you.
2. Personalized Intake & Assessment
Once you’ve reached out, we’ll schedule an initial intake. This confidential conversation allows us to understand your specific needs, history, and goals for therapy or mental health support. This step helps us match you with the most appropriate MWI Health provider from our diverse team, ensuring you receive care tailored just for you.
3. Begin Your Wellness Journey
With your assessment complete and a provider matched, you’re ready to start your sessions. Whether you prefer in-person appointments at our Sioux Falls or West Des Moines locations, or the convenience of telehealth services, MWI Health offers flexible options. Our goal is to provide timely, professional, and compassionate care to help you achieve lasting mental wellness.
Better Care, Better Value: Our Cash Payment Option
Developing our business model around cash pay only means that we are able to pass along budget-friendly healthcare costs to our patients with complete transparency and no hidden fees. At MWI Health, we do our best to help you understand the services that you can expect to receive, and because we are a small company we are here to answer your questions whenever you need.
By cutting out the middleman of insurance companies, you as the patient are armed with the information of what you’re paying for, how much it costs, and why it’s necessary. Patients are still able to file claims with their insurance companies if they choose to, and since we have fully accredited healthcare providers, these claims would simply be applied to out-of-network deductibles. Patients are also welcome to use their HSA accounts, providing patients access to tax-free funds dedicated to healthcare services.
