If you or a loved one are considering professional care for a mental health issue, there is a traditional timeline that can cause some patients frustration and disappointment. Through many of the larger healthcare systems, getting an initial new patient appointment can take weeks, followed by scheduling out another appointment for a psychological exam, another for going over the results, in a cycle of scheduling visits so far out that it feels like you’ll never find a solution to your issues, so why bother trying?
At Mindwell Urgent Care, we’ve found a way to break this cycle of disappointment and endlessly waiting to be seen by a mental health professional.
The Urgent Care Model
Mindwell Urgent Care offers another option for people who need timely psychiatric care, but are not necessarily in a dangerous situation where they need to go to the emergency room. Our mental health providers are available in-person at our Dallas office on Mockingbird Lane, as well as through virtual service for any patient throughout Texas, Oklahoma, New Jersey, Florida, and Kansas.
Because we prioritize fast access to psychiatric care, our patients are able to be seen much faster than traditional backlogged health care systems. We are able to offer same-week and often same-day appointments for patients needing help right now.
Who Needs Mental Health Urgent Care
At Mindwell Urgent Care, our services are designed to provide a more direct path forward for patients, getting them seen, evaluated, and beginning treatment without scheduling delays. You may be looking for mental health assistance such as:
- Your condition symptoms are getting worse
- You are experiencing a sudden change in mood or focus, possibly due to a current event or family situation
- Your current medication just isn’t working, or is causing side effects
- You’re having trouble concentrating and functioning normally at home or at work
- You’re ready to get help and you want to act now
In some of these situations, having to wait several weeks to be initially seen by a mental health professional could make the symptom develop to a point where they are impossible to manage. We never want anyone to feel hopeless, which is why we provide a more direct path forward to treatment.
Do I Need a Referral?
You do not need a referral from a doctor or a prior diagnosis to utilize our mental health care services.
And if you’re not sure exactly what is wrong – that is completely ok, too.
We are here to provide a supportive environment where you will be listened to thoroughly with no judgement or jumping to rushed diagnosis.
Every patient receives a full psychological exam that is personalized to your situation and symptoms. If medication is found to be a supporting solution, our personalized medication management will help you understand exactly what prescriptions you’re taking and why, as well as timelines for effectiveness and watching for possible side effects.
Eliminate the Wait
At Mindwell Urgent Care, we want to provide personalized mental health care to patients who simply cannot wait weeks and weeks to be seen. Our care is provided by licensed psychological professionals, including nurse practitioners and therapists. In-person services in Dallas are under the clinical supervision of Dr. Ashkan Solton, MD.
