What to Expect

Your MindWell Urgent Care treatment will begin with an initial intake evaluation. Your provider will perform a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation using evidence-based psychiatric and medical approaches, which will focus on your symptoms as well as life circumstances. Your provider will then recommend a treatment plan that is specific to your needs, which may include follow-up appointments, medication, therapy, as well as other life-style adjustments and changes.

What Is a Mental Health Assessment?

A mental health assessment is a process where professionals evaluate your emotional, psychological, and behavioral well-being. It helps determine the need for specific treatments or interventions. At Mindwell Urgent Care, we tailor our assessments to uncover issues like anxiety disorders, depression, and mood disorders. By understanding your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, our specialists can develop clear plans to improve our patients’ mental health.

What to Expect During a Mental Health Assessment

During a mental health assessment at Mindwell Urgent Care, you’ll first meet with a specialist who asks questions about your mental and emotional state. The experience will be thorough but non-judgmental. We offer a safe space to talk about your feelings.

We Offer a Range of Testing Services

Our Staff Offers Therapy

Therapy, or counseling, is a safe, private setting where you can talk to a trained mental health provider. These professionals will help you understand your concerns and even propose exercises or solutions to offer relief. Therapy isn’t just for big problems or crises. It’s designed to help you manage all kinds of challenges, from day-to-day worries to more serious mental health conditions.

What Happens During a Therapy Session?

Starting therapy can feel overwhelming, but our team will make every effort to ensure you’re calm and comfortable throughout the process. Understanding what happens during a therapy session should ease your nerves and help you feel prepared.
