Mindful Care

The idea for Mindful Care was born during founder and CEO Dr. Tamir Aldad’s medical residency at an emergency department. A fellowship-trained addiction psychiatrist, Dr. Aldad learned of Lauren, a college student who came in with significant mental health challenges. She had just lost her mother and younger sister to an overdose, yet her symptoms didn’t meet hospitalization criteria. It was going to be weeks before she could get connected with the right psychiatrist and licensed therapist. She was sent home, and later, she tragically died by suicide. Right then and there, Dr. Aldad knew there was a need for urgent psychiatry. There had to be a way to prevent more deaths like Lauren’s from happening. He got to work and founded Mindful Care in 2018. We live in a world where mental health care seems to matter least on days you need it the most. We’re committed to changing that until everyone has access to the optimal care they need, whether it’s targeted at surviving depression or emerging from psychosis. Ultimately, we envision a world where mental healthcare far surpasses its potential so people can meet and exceed theirs, too. Dr. Aldad's mission became twofold: to provide same-day access to psychiatric and therapeutic care and to ensure this care was aordable for everyone.
