UrgentPsych•Psychiatric Urgent Care & Early Intervention Center About UrgentPsych At UrgentPsych, we’re reshaping how mental health care is delivered. Our story began when Dr. Mehdi, a seasoned psychiatrist, and Dr. Khan, an emergency medicine specialist, recognized a critical clinical gap in timely mental health intervention. Too often, individuals experiencing psychiatric crises had two options: endure long wait times with primary care providers or brave the chaotic, overstimulating environment of a hospital emergency room.

Our solution? A dedicated mental health urgent care center — where patients receive rapid access to compassionate, competent care in a structured, therapeutic environment.

Since our founding, we’ve remained committed to: Early intervention and recognition Integrative care that unites psychiatry with medical services Creating safe, welcoming spaces for healing Acting as a trusted community partner in the mental health journey UrgentPsych offers a revolutionary care model: timely, walk-in psychiatric urgent care in a calm, supportive environment where clinical excellence meets compassion. We serve as a bridge between the emergency department and long-term outpatient care, focusing on early recognition and early intervention for psychiatric and behavioral health conditions in both adolescents and adults.
