Conditions we treat
At Mindful Care, we provide comprehensive mental health support for a wide range of conditions. Our licensed clinicians and psychiatrists deliver personalized care tailored to each patient’s needs, whether you are seeking therapy, medication management, or urgent psychiatric support.
Acute Stress Disorder
Acute Stress Disorder is a short-term anxiety condition that arises within one month of a distressing or traumatic event. It may involve flashbacks, nightmares, mood shifts, and avoidance behaviors that interfere with daily functioning.
Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental condition that affects focus, impulse control, and activity levels. It can cause trouble with staying organized, following through on tasks, or sitting still, and may impact daily life at school, work, or home.
Panic Disorder
Panic Disorder is an anxiety disorder marked by sudden and repeated panic attacks. These are intense episodes of fear or discomfort that peak within minutes. Panic attacks often come with physical symptoms like a racing heart, shortness of breath, or dizziness, along with a strong sense of losing control. People with Panic Disorder may begin to fear future attacks, which can lead to avoiding certain places or situations.
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)

Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) is a type of depression that occurs during specific times of the year, most often in the fall and winter. It can cause low energy, sadness, sleep changes, and difficulty concentrating, often easing as seasons change.
Bipolar Disorder
Bipolar Disorder is a serious mental health condition marked by intense shifts in mood, energy, and activity levels. It is characterized by alternating episodes of mania, which involve heightened energy, restlessness, or euphoria, and depression, which brings low mood, fatigue, and a loss of interest in daily life. These cycles can disrupt relationships, work, and overall well-being.
Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD)
Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) is a mental health condition marked by excessive, ongoing worry that is difficult to control. It can affect daily life by causing restlessness, fatigue, trouble concentrating, and physical tension.
Major Depressive Disorder (MDD)

What is the difference between a Nurse Practitioner (NP) and a Physician Associate (PA-C)?
NPs and PA-Cs are licensed medical professionals with advanced training.

After your first appointment, you’ll receive an email with the details of your next visit. For mental health counseling online, your follow-up sessions can easily take place through our secure online therapy platform.
Does Mindful Care accept health insurance, and which plans are covered?
Yes. We accept most commercial health insurance plans, as well as Medicare and Medicaid managed plans. To verify coverage, please upload a copy of your insurance card when scheduling. If we are not in-network with your plan, we will notify you before confirming your appointment.
