What happens during my first appointment?
Your first visit sets the foundation for your personalized care plan. If you’re seeking therapy, the appointment typically includes a Biopsychosocial (BPS) assessment to understand your mental health history, challenges, and goals. For medication management, the session includes a psychiatric evaluation to assess symptoms and determine treatment options. Your provider will listen to your concerns, answer questions, and collaborate with you to create a treatment plan tailored to your needs.
What if I need to cancel or reschedule my appointment?
To reschedule an appointment, new and existing patients can call 516-505-7200, email support@mindful.care, or use the patient portal. Please note: cancellations made with less than 24 hours’ notice may incur a fee.
Can I receive care online?

Will my appointment be in-person or virtual?
It depends on the type of appointment. Some services are virtual, while others are in-person. Please confirm the format when scheduling.
Do you offer medication during urgent care visits?
Yes. Medication may be prescribed following a psychiatric evaluation. Prescriptions are based on the provider’s clinical judgment and your health history to ensure appropriate treatment.
Who will I see at my appointment?
You will be seen by a Nurse Practitioner (NP) or Certified Physician Associate (PA-C), either in-person or virtually. All are trained and certified to provide psychiatric care and work closely with supervising psychiatrists (MDs) to coordinate treatment.
What is a Nurse Practitioner (NP) or Physician Associate (PA-C)?
