In this episode, Dr. Tamir Aldad, founder and CEO of Mindful Care, joins me to discuss strategies for addressing the challenges in mental health accessibility and costs. Dr. Aldad brings a unique blend of medical insight and business expertise, advocating for and implementing a model that integrates social impact with economic viability. He shares a tragic experience from his residency that exposed significant shortcomings in our mental healthcare system, which motivated the creation of Mindful Care.

Our discussion delves into the current issues faced by mental health providers, such as complex insurance reimbursement processes and the issue of patient selectivity due to high demand. We discuss the impact of social media and the role of virtual and hybrid care.

We discuss Mindful Care's success to date, plans for expansion, and how input from referral partners and community feedback is crucial in reaching underserved populations.
