What services do you offer?
At MindWeal, we provide a range of specialized services for children and adolescents aged 4 to 18. Our offerings include:
- Comprehensive Psychiatric Evaluations: Thorough assessments to understand your child's mental health needs.
- Medication Management: Ongoing support and adjustments to ensure effective treatment.
- Specialized Testing: In-depth testing for ADHD and executive functioning disorders.
While we do not offer counseling services directly, we collaborate with outstanding counseling groups to ensure your child receives holistic care. Regardless of the treatment path you choose—whether psychotherapy, medication, or a combination of both—a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation is the essential first step in your child's mental wellness journey.
What issues/challenges do you address?
MindWeal handles a broad range of children's mental health issues including behavioral and learning problems, mood disorders, depression, anxiety, OCD, autism, trauma and attachment disorders, psychosis, gender-related issues, eating disorders, and tics, among others. We don't address substance use disorder and conduct disorder.
What services does MindWeal not offer?
MindWeal offers a broad variety of mental health services, but we don't cover everything. We don't provide intensive outpatient programs, partial or full inpatient hospitalization, residential treatment, or therapy specialized for substance use disorders or conduct disorders.
What age group does MindWeal serve?
MindWeal accepts new patients aged 4-18 years. We also accept individuals over 18 as new patients if they're still in high school or below. We do not automatically discharge patients once they turn 18. We continue to offer our services until the age of 24, provided they do not require specialized treatments of Adult Psychiatry that are beyond our scope, such as TMS (Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation), Ketamine treatment, or depot injections for medications.
Do you offer diagnostic evaluation services?
Yes, at MindWeal, we provide comprehensive psychiatric evaluation services. Our board-certified providers conduct a thorough assessment of your child's emotional, cognitive, and behavioral functioning to ensure an accurate diagnosis. Working together collaboratively, the provider will create a tailored and effective treatment plan that addresses your child's specific needs. Our goal is to provide the best possible care for your child's mental health and well-being.
Do you offer medication prescriptions?
Yes, following a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation, if deemed necessary, our provider may recommend medication management. If medication is prescribed, you will have regular follow-ups with the provider. Experience the advantages of personalized prescriptions, expert administration, thorough monitoring, and ongoing communication with healthcare providers. Our prescribers also collaborate with your child's therapist if they are also receiving therapy. Our focus is on providing comprehensive care to optimize your child's well-being and treatment outcomes.
Do you offer therapy or counseling services?
While MindWeal does not provide counseling services directly, we partner with exceptional counseling groups to ensure comprehensive care. Our partners offer high-quality, individualized therapies tailored to each child and their family. If therapy is recommended after a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation, we will refer you to a trusted local therapist who collaborates with us for seamless and integrated care.
Do you offer testing for ADHD and how is it of benefit?
Yes, we use advanced ADHD testing to objectively measure children's attention, impulsivity, and hyperactivity. The test uses hard data to improve the accuracy of our evaluations. It gives percentile scores by comparing your child's ADHD symptoms to those of peers of the same age and gender. This test is crucial as ADHD diagnosis can be complex due to inconsistent history and possible coexisting disorders with similar symptoms. Through this advanced testing, we can clearly diagnose and craft personalized treatment plans for your child, aligning with their unique challenges. A comprehensive report of the test results also aids in advocating for your child's needs at school and securing necessary accommodations.
Before any ADHD testing, our provider must first conduct an initial clinical assessment. If the assessment deems it necessary, the provider will then refer your child for testing.
Do you offer executive functioning testing and how can it be beneficial?
Certainly, we offer executive functioning testing, an objective evaluation of cognitive abilities needed for tasks like planning, problem-solving, decision-making, self-control, and cognitive flexibility. This test offers a clear understanding of an individual's cognitive strengths and weaknesses. It's particularly useful when diagnosing Executive Functioning disorder, which can be complex due to inconsistencies in history and possible co-existing disorders with similar symptoms. Based on the results, we create tailored treatment plans for your child. This includes at-home computer training for 15 minutes, two to three times a week, aimed at enhancing cognitive abilities. A comprehensive report of the test results also aids in advocating for your child's needs at school and securing necessary accommodations.
To commence executive functioning testing, our provider first needs to conduct an initial clinical evaluation. If deemed appropriate, your child will then be referred for testing.
Do you offer Autism testing?
Our comprehensive psychiatric evaluations assess a wide range of mental health conditions in children, including Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD).
Autism is a collection of symptoms that often requires evaluation by multiple specialists, such as psychiatrists, psychologists, speech therapists, occupational therapists, and developmental pediatricians. The first step is completing a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation with one of our board-certified providers to understand the root causes of your child’s symptoms.
If autism is suspected, additional testing — such as IQ testing, speech and language evaluations, or occupational therapy assessments — may be recommended based on your child’s symptom profile. We coordinate referrals to trusted specialists for these evaluations.
Once all evaluations are completed, the results are sent back to us. We integrate all findings to create a clear, comprehensive understanding of your child's needs and to develop a personalized treatment plan. We also advocate for services and accommodations your child may need within the school system.
The entire process is overseen by our board-certified psychiatric providers, ensuring a coordinated and expert approach.
Do you provide testing for learning disabilities?
We provide clinical evaluations to understand the possible causes of your child's learning issues. Learning difficulties may be linked to ADHD, anxiety, executive functioning deficits, and other mental health issues. For further clarification, we conduct ADHD testing and executive functioning testing, and recommend appropriate treatments based on the results.
To assess your child's struggles in specific subjects, Achievement Testing is required. This test estimates your child's academic skills, particularly in reading, writing, and mathematics, in comparison to standard expectations. Please note that we do not conduct this specific testing, as it is typically provided by schools as part of a child's Individualized Education Program (IEP). If deemed necessary, we will request the school to conduct this testing as part of the IEP process.
