      New Patient Intake Process

       

      How can I access care at MindWeal?

      To access MindWeal care, simply visit our website and click the "Get Started" button. You will be directed to the MindWeal platform to create your account. Please note that guardians of the patients should set up the account. Once your account is set up, we will collect your child's basic demographic information. Our team will then reach out to you to schedule an appointment. We strive to see your child within 48 hours, provided you complete the intake process promptly. Your child's well-being is our priority, and we look forward to assisting you in the journey towards better mental health. 

       

      What does the intake process involve?

      The intake process includes signing treatment consent forms and conveniently sharing your child's medical and family history on our user-friendly platform. Additionally, you will complete a comprehensive and interactive assessment of your child's psychiatric symptoms using M-CAT, an advanced questionnaire designed by Dr. Bansal. This assessment takes into account overlapping symptoms of psychiatric diagnoses and developmental aspects of behavior, which aids our providers in making accurate diagnoses and providing effective care tailored to your child's needs. Our goal is to ensure a smooth and thorough intake process for the best possible care and treatment outcomes.

       

      What should I expect during a new patient appointment?

      During your new patient appointment, you and your child will meet with a board-certified provider who will conduct a comprehensive clinical evaluation. This evaluation will involve a thorough discussion about your concerns and your child's mental health. The provider will educate you about the diagnosis, available treatment options, and the expected outcomes of the recommended approach. 

      Based on the evaluation, a personalized treatment plan will be created to address your child's unique needs. This plan may include one or more of the following components:

      • Recommendations and referrals for evidence-based counseling or psychotherapy to address specific mental health issues.
      • If medication is deemed necessary, a clear plan for medication management will be discussed, including potential benefits and potential side effects.
      • Recommendations for advanced testing or assessments, if required, to further clarify the diagnosis and guide treatment decisions.
