Mindful Urgent Care aims to offer same-day, non-emergent mental health and substance abuse psychiatric services to insured and cash-paying clients. Frustrated by the countless number of mental health patients turned away from the emergency room sent home with only referrals and self treatment options, founder Tamir Aldad worked to find better care for those with addiction and mental health issues. The treatment plan consists of an initial in-person evaluation lasting approximately 20-30 minutes. Patients will then receive follow up visits via a telehealth video conferencing platform in increments of 10-15 minutes, every 3-4 weeks. By streamlining the service, Mindful Urgent Care makes accessibility a priority for patients seeking mental health care
