Do I Need Urgent Care Mental Health Services?

When you’re experiencing a mental health crisis, you need help as quickly as possible. Pattern Psychiatry’s Urgent Care services provide rapid response mental healthcare. Our compassionate providers are trained to help in mental health crises, and they are equipped to provide immediate assessment so you can receive crisis counseling, medication support, and have a long-term mental healthcare plan developed specifically for you and your current experiences.

WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT

Clarity Starts With Understanding

A psychiatric evaluation is more than a conversation about symptoms. It’s an opportunity to step back, look at the full picture, and better understand what may be affecting how you feel, think, and function day to day.
‍
Your provider will take time to learn about your concerns, history, experiences, and goals so your care is based on you—not just a diagnosis. From there, you’ll work together to identify the most appropriate next steps and create a treatment plan that feels clear, thoughtful, and personalized.

See a provider within 24-48 hours

Receive quick guidance and support by speaking with a licensed professional virtually in a matter of hours.

Personalized Recommendations

Your care plan is based on your individual needs, experiences, preferences, and treatment goals—not a one-size-fits-all approach.

Medication & Therapy Options

Depending on your needs, recommendations may include medication management, psychotherapy, a combination of both, or additional evaluation or referral.

Collaborative Care

You’ll have the opportunity to ask questions, understand your options, and participate in decisions about your treatment and next steps.

★★★★★
I have to say that I've experienced the best services from Patterns Psychiatry. Miss Ezema shows her most concern for you by truly listening and gives you sincere feedback. She has the most soothing soft voice, and at the same time she is very professional. With all sincerity I consider her the best I've had in many year of needing medicine and someone that truly listens to your needs.

I always look forward to my appointments with Dr. Abraham. We talk about the medicine but she also checks on my mental health period and I really appreciate her for that. She remembers things from our previous sessions that she checks on and shows she’s invested in her patients.

Nurse practitioner Chigane Abraham has been AMAZING. I have been seeing her for almost 8 months now and every visit with her has been pleasant. I have not had good experiences with psychiatrist but she changed my outlook on things. She is extremely patient, understanding, and welcoming. I’m so thankful I stumbled upon Patterns Psychiatry to take care of all my mental health needs. <3

I actually felt listen to unlike other psychiatrist that I’ve ever been to. She took the time to read my bio and all of the information that I left on their website, which was a lot, I really appreciated that she took my time and feelings during our meeting seriously. I’m looking forward for my next appointment.

I started seeing Chigane Abraham back in January. I’ve had experiences in the past with mental health professionals that felt very shallow and they prescribed medicine without even getting to know me. Chigane is AMAZING! I feel so happy to have found a psychiatrist that truly cares about me as an individual. Through working with her, I’ve gotten on a medication that helps ease my anxiety and I’m feeling so much happier and healthier since seeing her. I highly highly recommend!!!!!

I have struggled finding a decent psychiatrist that actually cares about their patients and doesn’t just view them as another payday but as a person. I have felt comfortable with Patterns’ team since my first visit. I highly recommend seeing them if you have dealt with the struggles I have.

The doctor is very sweet and helpful to my mother. She's trying to take good care of her and keep her safe with her meds. She really cares!
